Ok, this post is going to be a Happy Birthday/very grateful post to my friend.
Last year during softball season I met this girl. Our husbands played on the same ward team and so we sat together and became friends. I grew up with her husband, and Koby likes him so we all got along well. We started hanging out every once in awhile, and I really enjoyed being around her. Softball season ended and I was nervous I friendship would too, but she continued to be my friend. We went to the movies together, shopping, talked a lot. did crafts together, all kinds of things. What amazes me about her is she is genuinely my friend, no strings attached. She has changed my life. Its been awhile since we met and I still love her tons.
I think she means so much to me because I have never truly had a friend that was always there for me. No one liked me. But, I have finally found a true friend in her. She recently moved to the valley and I am NOT happy about it, cause I don't get to see her and her sweet baby NEARLY enough. But she will always be my best friend. I might not mean as much to her as she does to me but she is awesome.
VALERIE LARSON I LOVE YOU!!! Your my best friend. You have changed my life and made me feel like finally someone likes me for me! The memories we have made I will never forget, and I hope we have many many more! Come home to Snowflake soon!
Your birthday is on Christmas and I wanted to be able to do a post so here it is. I hope you have a wonderful birthday!! You are wonderful!! Thank you for being my friend, thank you for showing me I am not totally worthless, thank you for liking me for me. Always be my friend! I need ya!!!

A bad couple of days....
My sweet husband. He turns one year older tomorrow. Man I love him! He is seriously amazing. Theres not anyone like him. I hope he has a wonderful birthday, and all his wishes come true but one thing will be holding him back.
His sweet absolutely beautiful Grandma ( my grandma too) passed away in her sleep Friday morning. Its weird because I hear of peoples Grandmas dying, and I think "how sad, but at least its not a husband or child or parent" Well I was wrong. THis was been so awful, its hurts sooooo bad. She has seriously changed our lives. She loves our baby girls. On there birthday she ALWAYS brings them a card with some quarters in them and a couple pieces of gun and a balloon. Tatum LOVES and CHERISHES those. She wont spend her money. The last time we got to see her alive was on Sunday. One week ago. We were having her birthday party. She bore her testimony. She loved and held on to each of her great grandbabies. Tatum ran over and sat on her lap. We got her testimony on camera. I was so impressed. It was like she knew. That party wasn't like any other we have had for her. She knew something.....She has always treated me like a grandchild, even though I only married into the family. That night I gave her a big hug and kissed her on the cheek and told her how much I loved her. If only I knew that would be my last time I would see her alive....i would of held her tighter and longer, I would of expressed my feelings more. But I am still soooo grateful I said and did what I did. I am so glad we WENT! 
Friday morning around 11 Koby came through the door. I could tell he had been crying. SO I freaked out. His parents were driving to Utah that morning, and that is where my mind drifted to. But he told me Grandma Peterson had passed away. She was more of a Grandma to me than anything. She will be missed sooo much. I am sooo sorry Grandpa. Koby is hanging in there. He was doing good until we walked into church and he saw Grandoa sitting by himself crying. Thats when Koby and I lost it. Koby doesn't want to celebrate his Birthday tomorrow, because he and the rest of his family is mourning. But Grandma would never want him to not celebrate his birthday because of him. In fact she will probably be dancing all day for him tomorrow since she is no longer in any pain!!! So If you happen to go into Ed's tomorrow please wish Koby a happy birthday. He is having a hard time, but I want him to have a good day!!!
And we love you too Grandma. I can't wait for the day I get to give ou another hug!
