The Lone Star State aka Texas

In December of 2013 Zach was invited down to Texas for a job interview with a healthcare company. Zach went down and along came Leila and I. We had so much fun chilling in the Hotel, attempting to swim in the pool (a little cold for our liking), toured around the area, we were trying to find a house, because we just knew we were coming down here for good! It was super crazy how everything worked out so well for us. We finished off December in Utah hanging out with family and then in California with Zach's family. We had such a hard time saying goodbye to everyone but we know we will be back to visit!

Leila got tired and fell asleep in the plane! It was actually hers and mine FIRST ever plane ride!

Saying goodbye to the cutest twins in the world! Cousin Brooke and Carly! 

Christmas with these two cuties! Cousin Ellie and Jack!

I don't know how I almost missed the best part of December! Other than all of our festivities we were SEALED as a family. It was just a beautiful and uplifting day! Our family was in attendance Matt and Lu came up from Arizona with Ellie and Jack, Jon and Melissa were there from Hawaii, and Steve and Katie with Brooke and Carly, Brittany and Kody were there. We missed Kari she had to work and Jeremy and Sarahlynn were unable to make it from Minnesota. The ceremony was absolutely amazing. I love being sealed to my best friend and love that Leila is ours forever! I will post pictures when I can get them. I love families and I love that we can be together forever! I am grateful to be apart of something so special and so real! I love this gospel and the way it makes me feel. :) Okay I will get off my soap box now. 

We weren't out of Utah for too long when we came back for my baby sister's wedding! I can't believe she is married. OMG! She made such a beautiful bride. I am really glad that we were able to make the trip back after just moving a week before! Leila was just a good girl during all of these new transitions. I could not have asked for a better first kid. I am scared to have another one because I fear of all the things that I have been blessed with so far. Yikes! 

I always love Leila smiles!
