Okay let me give you a little back story with me and my family. When it came time to leave for college I couldn't WAIT to get the heck out of Colorado and be on my own. As every person that age does, right? All my friends said "don't ever move back in with your parents...its way to hard!" So I had it in my mind it would be horrible!! Horrible having rules again and not being your own person. Well it came time for me to choose to stay at Dixie College or move back home. I was doing fine money-wise...But for some reason that little voice in the back of my head told me to move back home. I battled with that voice for weeks on end! I did not understand why I kept getting the impression to move home right then. I know now..It was because I needed to grow stronger relationships with my family, and meet my sweet husband.
I didn't want to move back home! But I did and it was the best thing for me. I came home and grew a stronger relationship with my sweet sister Allex. We always fought growing up. But we became best buddies once I moved back. I also got to watch my other sister Baylee start to grow up into a young woman! I was able to be there for both of them and be that older sister that I always wanted. I was always more interested in boys and social activities in High School that I wasn't the best older sister I could possibly be. Moving back home all my friends were at college or back at Dixie. I really didn't have anything other than my job and my family. But I absolutely LOVED it! I got to be there for my baby brother and love on him. I got to grow a better relationship with my best friend...my mom! I love her so much. I was able to learn from her and get to know her better. We used to butt heads a lot when I was in high school. But my Mommy is my best friend and is always there for me no matter what. I know that my time home those few months before I met Curtis was meant to happen. I know my Heavenly Father knew I needed to move back home and be with my family before I met my husband. I got to work for my Daddy and see what a hard working man he is. I was able to witness what true love is through my parents relationship. I got to sit back every night and just be with my family. Laugh and joke with them all day long! It was the best. I was seriously in love with life. I worked with kids all day long and then came home and spend the rest of the night with my amazing family. We made silly videos on my computer... We went on walks all the time...we made up games! It was just perfect for me. I love my family so much.

I met Curtis in January and I started spending most of my free time with him. But even now as I am married and live in Utah again...I still cherish that quality time I had with my family. I am constantly telling Curtis that we have to move back to Colorado because I want to be closer to my family. After high school I would have never even dreamed of moving back to Colorado! But I know now being with my family is the most perfect place to be. Lucky for our relationship..his wonderful family lives 5 minutes away from mine! So its a win win situation :)
My family came to visit me this past week. I realized then how much I just adore my family. They totally surprised me..I had NO idea they were coming. I was just sitting with my Nana and my sisters run down stairs saying "The party is here! Where is the popcorn?" I figured it was my cousins but when I looked up I saw my beautiful grown up sisters running down to hug me with my handsome brother and beautiful mother following. All I could do was drop my mouth open and cry! I had no words. I was filled with emotion. Confusion, happiness, more confusion and absolute happiness! I held my mother for a good 5 minutes just crying in her arms. My dad wasn't able to come sadly. But I still had never felt more peace and happiness in one moment as I did then. They stayed a whole week and even though it was already a stressful week for me it was the best week of my life!
My darling sisters stayed with Curtis and I. We stayed up till 1 am every night laughing and playing games! I somehow managed to still work 35 hours that week... sheesh! Anyway I am done blabbing on now... I just want everyone to know how much I love my family. They are my world.
