Big sisters adventure!

Sister Caralie Earl was called to the New York, Hill Cumorah Visitor Center mission in August of 2011. The five months flew by so fast and before we knew it we were taking the long trip to the Provo Mtc. Cara and I have always been so close, being only ten months apart we grew up almost as twins, with matching clothes and sharing bedrooms to sharing makeup and sharing clothes. I'm so excited for her she is just having the time of her life!

She was soooo nervous on the way there! She started saying " I can't do this! Turn around! I want to go home!" Then suddenly we pulled into the mtc and we saw these guys lining the curb

 She wasn't so nervous after seeing these good looking missionaries. Then suddenly she felt like she was suppose to be there and was bobbing her head and talking and laughing and having the time of her life and then we all felt comfort to leave and she was doing the right thing.

Then of course we had to comfort ourselves another way. This was the best bananna split I've ever had.. so good..

Christmas time!

We had the best first christmas ever! I decided to make a Christmas wreath and it turned out really great. We also put up our first christmas tree

For christmas eve we got matching pajamas. Go Cougars!!

Time to Redecorate!

Even though we live in this tiny one bedroom appartment I thought of some great ways to add a little flavor to our spice without breaking our contract to not paint.

I just bought some ribbion and used some double side tape and pins to put them up and it worked out really well, so far they are still up and great!
