So far 2012 has been off to a running start. The holidays were CRAZY busy, but they are every year. What else can be expected with TONS of family all living basically in the same town? I love it though, its so fun to see everyone for the holidays and see how they've decorated etc. And 3 days of Christmas is awesome! Raelee was just a little spoiled. We actually never even had her open our presents. Sad! We were just too busy and then sick on top of it. Sooooo, now we've decided to use her presents from us as incentives for potty training.
     I taught my first Relief Society lesson last Sunday. This was HUGE to me! I am not a public speaker person, never liked it, don't anticipate that I ever will. BUT the lesson went super well. Definitely spent a few weeks crazy stressing about it(not the lesson part, just the being in front of people part), but now that I'm past the first lesson, I'm excited for the rest of my lessons this year.
     My little brother Matthew came home from his mission last Sunday. It was a very stressful week before that knowing what he was going though and praying for him and my parents to know what the right decision was. He came home for medical reasons, I'm not going to tell his life on here, but I'm super glad he's back home. AND proud of him for the time that he was out serving the Lord. I KNOW that the Lord knows Matt's heart and what he was going through and that he will be blessed even though his time in the mission field was shorter than expected.
     Now off to put Raebug in bed. Brad's off watching the football game, and even though I am a little interested(I'm a Tebow fan), I have a stack of library books beckoning me. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE a good book!!!!! Night!
