Yay for becoming an aunt again!! Welcome Janson!

I am so thrilled to say that Janson Dale Wadsworth, my second nephew, was born on Sunday, February 1st. (I know, I know, kind of old news since I am the last one to blog about it.) After staying at the hospital all night, I got to see him not too long after he was born at 6:09 in the morning! He was so cute then, and I swear he somehow gets cuter every time I see him!! Really, I just wanted to make this post to say I love my new nephew and to post all the cute pics I have of him! So enjoy these pics of the cute little spud! :)

Him the morning he was born.

A wee little update and some BIG news!

It has been far too long since I have done a post, but I kind of have an amazingly uneventful life - yes, i know, it takes so much talent - and therefore have had nothing to say. Except for the big stuff like Christmas and all that Jazz. :) But eh, I will just sum it all up... in chronological order, so I guess the BIG news is last! (Technically pretty much everyone knows it at this point but eh).

Christmas was absolutely fabulous and I just loved it! It was different having it with only my parents, Emily, and Brycen, but it was nice. I kind of really liked how low key it was. And it was fun being at home again. It was kind of weird, but not as weird as I expected. Oh, and my parents converted me to Bones. I am now a Bones addict. Go Brennan and Booth! Whew. Don't worry, I'm chill.

So, during the Christmas season I was able to go up to Festival of trees with my mom, Emily, Amber, and Will because Amber's clogging teams were performing. Team? Teams? I absolutely ADORE Festival of Trees. It's one of my favorite parts of Christmas, and I am going to be so sad when I'm older and can't go because I don't live around here. Sad day. Anyways.... The trees were as amazing as ever, and I got two super cute pictures that I just figured I'd share. Ooh, I love them.
Okay, I changed my mind about filling you in any more than that. Ha ha. Let's just skip to my big news..........

I'm Going to FRANCE!!!

Yes, the country where they speak French! Crazy, I know. So yeah. I got accepted into the Fall Paris Study Abroad program for this Fall! I get to spend three months in fabulous Paris! And in addition to just having an awesome overall experience there, it's going to improve my French like majorly. Woohoo!! Yay me!!

A Time of Thanks

So this post is kind of late, but I figured better late than never! This time of year (even spilling over into Christmastime...aka now) always makes me think about what I'm thankful for, like it does with most people. So I just wanted to talk about four things I'm thankful for. And in the process, you get to see all my cute pictures from Thanksgiving!

1. My Parents: I'm so grateful for them! They have always loved me and supported me and helped me with everything that I do. I know they will always be there for me, and the knowledge of that "support system" is so great. I love them and don't know what I'd do without them.













2. My siblings: They are all so great! I'm so thankful for them and the influence they have each made in my life and continue to make. I love doing stuff with them, and I love having them there for me to talk to. Sometimes I'm amazed at how great literally every single one of them is at listening to me and giving me advice - even if they don't realize that they've just given me much needed advice. I'm really so grateful that I have all of them. I don't know what I'd do without them.



























Jeff and Jason were already included in the thoughts about my siblings, but I just wanted to add that I'm so thankful for what great brothers-in-law I got! I am very lucky! And also, I'm grateful for cute Will and I am so excited to have another cute nephew in a couple of months! Yay!




































3. My Friends: All of my friends have made a major impact in my life for the better - and I am grateful to them for that. I am also just so thankful that I was blessed with the amazing friends that I have! Junior High, High School, and now College are/were the great experiences they are/were due a lot to my friends. I don't know what I'd do without them either. (these pics are obviously not from Thanksgiving ha ha. And I am sorry but I have hardly any pictures on my laptop, so please don't be offended if you aren't in any of them! :) I love you all!)

















4. The Church: I'm so grateful to be a member the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I don't think I could make it through everything like I do without the knowledge that we are all children of God and that I can pray for help, guidance, and comfort whenever I need to. I am so thankful for the Atonement. I'm grateful for all that Jesus Christ has done for me and that I can be saved through Him. I love Him and am so grateful for Him. I truly don't know what I would do without Him.

Okay pretty much, I love this ha ha ha ha (sorry it doesn't quite fit. It's also at the bottom of my blog if you want to see it without the edge cut off)

My Cute Little Work Area

At my job, I have an office...ish. It has three and a half walls ha ha but no door. So it is an office, just not an enclosed one. But it's cute and nice and it has a window for one of the whole walls and I quite like it. Me and another intern there share it. About twice a week we end up working at the same time, but we just take turns working on the conference table out in the main area. Sometimes one of us needs the computer, and usually the other person doesn't NEED it the same day. So yes. I am glad I am boring you with an entire post about my office space. Talk about lame. But I had these pictures on my phone (I was sitting there and I remembered that I had my camera in my purse so I took it out to get a picture, but unfortunately my camera was dead. Bummer. Luckily I had my phone to quench my photo taking thirst) so I figured I would share them.

Here's a close up of my desk. Doesn't it look at professional editor like? Ha ha kidding. But this project was pretty sweet. See the darker colored pages on the right side? They're copies of the Kirtland Egyptian Papers. I went through the revised "Meaning of the Kirtland Egyptian Papers" or something like that by Hugh Nibley. It was really interesting!


And here is just a random picture of my office area ha ha. Isn't it so cute?


Well, that's enough random, boring information for one day!!
