2 Years!

Happy 2nd Anniversary honey! We officially experienced the longest day ever yesterday, and it just happened to be our anniversary. We woke up 4:00 a.m. Spain time, flew home and went to bed at 9:00 p.m. Utah time...with an 8 hour difference, do the math, it was quite the day. We did go out to eat at Macaroni Grill to celebrate our lovely 2 years together, but with our red and glazed over eyes, all we wanted to do was go home and watch the Jazz game! And what a better way to celebrate than to have the Jazz play a good game and go out with a big win against the 76ers. I am so lucky to be married to the man of my dreams, who treats me like a princess. I am so grateful for all that he does for me. These past two years have been so fabulous, I love spending all the time I can with the person I love the most. I can't wait to spend the rest of eternity with him! I love you honey!

A Spanish Christmas

What a Christmas. We somehow survived finals, packed our bags, got away from all of the snow, and left the country. We spent the last 10 days in the beautiful country of Spain with the whole Farnsworth clan, except for Ryan, Shanna and Kenna. A week of Farnsworth's was definitely eventful, and we have 132 pictures to prove it. These are just a few of our favorites.

We went to Sol to do some shopping, walk around the city, went caroling with the missionaries on Christmas Eve, and ate Napolitana's:

We went to Toledo and saw the beautiful cathedral there, Don Quixote, the fun little shops, the Lladro's, and the Spanish Paella:

We went to Valle de los Caidos, but the funny thing is that it was extremely foggy, and we couldn't even see the enormous cross that was constructed there...

We went on a tour of the Real Madrid Stadium, which was awesome:

The Castle and the 2000 year old Aqua Duct in my favorite city, Segovia:

I love my family so so much, it was so much fun to finally spend time with them all. I can't wait for us ALL to be together this summer. We spent many late hours together playing games, watching movies, and waiting for Papa Noel to come. My parents are so absolutely amazing, and the obedience and happiness of all the missionaries in Madrid are living proof. I love you mommy and daddy, thanks for everything!

Booya!

Yep, there she is. The new company I just got hired with! I am so so so super excited. After 3 1/2 years at the Bookstore, I am finally moving on, and I can't wait! It's a great paying job, great people, and I will get the marketing experience I was looking for with all of the other internships I was applying with. I also got the internship with Deseret Book, but driving to SLC all the time was not something I was looking forward to, but good things come to those who wait!My first day is January 2nd, after we get back from Spain, and have a New Years shebang, I'll be back to work making the world a better place through my online marketing skills (or those skills I will soon have).

I have 2 finals down, and 3 more to go before Friday. 5:00 p.m. Friday, I'll be on the plane, flying to the beautiful Madrid Spain for the last time. This being my 4th time going to see my parents, and I honestly cannot wait.

Just thought I'd pass on the happy news. Go me!

My Beautiful Niece!

Congrats Ryan and Shanna Farnsworth! My wonderful brother and his adorable wife had their first baby yesterday, December 9th, at 6 lbs. 15 oz. and 20 inches long. The beautiful Kenna Rae is the first little addition, besides Sarge, to the Farnsworth family. My parents finally have their first little grandchild. Everything went perfectly, she even came 12 days early, and if I were the mom I would not be complaining one bit! I am so excited to meet my little niece in a few months, and I look forward to seeing her growing up and loving her so so much!

I wanted to cry..

I did not want to get out bed this morning, it was cold, I was tired..and I wanted to cry. I was on my way to school, and I saw the gas price at $1.49 per gallon, it made me so happy I wanted to cry! My little Brittany turned 22, she's all grown up and made me want to cry ;). I gave 2 presentations today at school, sat through 10 other 15 minute presentations and was so bored I wanted to cry. I wore heals for 9 hours and my feet wanted to cry. It started snowing, and although I'm not looking forward to driving on ice and having my toes numb up I was so excited I wanted to cry! I realized that in 12 days I will be done with my finals, and off to Spain to see my parents, and I wanted to cry out of joy! I see the same homeless kitty everyday, and once again makes me want to cry. My fabulous in-laws had left over P.F. Changs and brought it to us, so I didn't have to cook, and it was so yummy I wanted to cry! I am still on campus and it's 10:00 p.m., and I definitely want to cry.

Ok, so it's that time of year, and there is so much going on, there is excitement in the air, there is bitterness, there is joy and love, and it is all hitting me at once! So, I'm not an emotional wreck, I promise. This is just a typical day of the feelings and emotions I feel, my poor husband, he's so great for putting up with me! I love you dear!

Temple Square

This past week we got to go to Temple Square with the youth in our ward. For the past year or so, Ry has been the young men's president, and I've been the 1st counselor in young women's, so we've had fun going to mutual together and serving the youth. Anyway, we love our callings, and we love the youth in our ward. We also got to see the Joseph Smith movie on the Restoration, and it amazes me every time I see it. If you have never seen this movie, or have not seen it in awhile, then take an afternoon and go up to SLC and see it. It's simply amazing! It makes me realize that I really can't complain about the trials I face, it's nothing like the early saints had to go through. Here are all of our youth, 3 YM and 3 YW, and if you think that's small... our numbers have doubled since last year!

I had an interview with Deseret Book Corporate for an internship Wednesday morning, and she told me that they had free hot chocolate in the Deseret Book store across from the Joseph Smith Memorial Building, so if you happen to go up there this Christmas season, go get some free Stephen's hot chocolate...and browse around the store I guess. We got stuck in the Jazz traffic...so it was a late night, but totally worth it! We love the lights.
