New Year, New Entry

Well hello!  Does it seems like ages since I’ve written?  It has been!  While I was in America I was told by several people to update my blog so I am going to try to update it every week (fingers crossed!)
Since I have so much to catch up on, you get lists again (thanks Abbie) – Maybe some pictures added in for good measure?
Good Things:

*  Hugging my mom and dad and spending time with them.
*  Seeing my brother and sisters (even though we didn’t do a family picture!!)
*  Seeing friends – its been three years and yet it feels like we never skipped a beat.
* A trip to St. George to visit my amazing Grandpa and Grandma.
*  Seeing the mountains and snow!
*  Good food (yes, I did gain weight – why do you ask?!?!)
*   A great girls night with a stay downtown, the Marriott and TONS of laughing.
*  “Friend Christmas Brunch” – its been a long time since I got to attend.
*  Blending right back into my old ward – such good people.
*  Sophie the cat!
*  An extra seat on the way from Texas to London.

Bad Things:

*  Coming home??
*  Falling in Fashion Bug (my knee still hurts!!)
*  Inversion (although on the day I left I consider it a “Tiny Mercy” to not have to see the mountains in the distance)
*  The plane ride to Utah (can we say “sardine can”?)

It was such a good trip.  I was not at all prepared for how hard it would be to come back to England.   Now my mind is REALLY messed up as to where home is – am I homeless?
One way that me and my friends are going to keep in contact is taking a picture at the same time once a week and posting it on our new blog:

And here are the pictures -
