Christmas / New Years

This year we spent Christmas with my husband's parents and family in Dayton,NV. There was a little drama on Monday when Kelly called me to tell me that his dad had a heart attack! I grabbed his sister Alecia and off we went to the Carson Valley Hospital. We were relieved to find out that it was a minor heart attack and that he would be home for Christmas!

The house was packed with all of us - Mom, Dad, Alan, Alecia, Bryce, Kelly, Megan, Chris, Denise, Jens, Adam, Anna, Jake, Kelly, Me and Ian. It was my first Christmas without Colton so I was a little sad at times. However, I got the best Christmas Present in the whole world!!!!! Colton called! I cried like a baby! What a wonderful gift! I also, got some cool stuff under the tree, like, Singstar ABBA, a Wii, and Tell Me More Spanish!

A couple years ago - I resolved that it would be the year of the Diva - I think this year will be the year I learn new things like learn to speak spanish. I am going to go to Institute Class on Thursdays. Also, I will go to the temple at least once a month. It is a new year and a new me.

Well, finally Colton is getting to go to Basic Training! I am happy for him and sad for me. What a rollercoaster we have been on for the last year. Colton has finally cleaned up his act and is back to his REAL self - I am glad that he is back but now I want more time with him!

I have been crying off and on since we found out on Thursday! I even think Ian has shed a few tears. We are leaving tomorrow at 2pm to drive Colton to the recruiters office in Reno. From there, the recruiter takes him to the airport and he flies to Boise, ID where he processes through MEPS and on Tuesday he will fly to San Antonio,TX for BMT. (The military uses A LOT of acronyms!) We are on to the next chapter in our lives, I hope that Heavenly Father is ready to carry me for awhile, I think I am going to need it!

Good news is that he will graduate the first week in February and I am going to be there!!!!!!!
