I hereby go on record as the WORST blogger known to man...it's been almost a full year since my last post, and to be completely honest, I'm not even going to try filling in the last year. but i'm going to go from november, since there was a pretty momentous occasion:
11/11/11 at 5 lbs 7oz, enter Karsyn Kate Glosenger...the second little girl to keep her sister on her toes--this means i have the cutest 2 nieces and 1 nephew. Fast forward to december: christmas at the rees house is always great, but it's even better when you get to skype a missionary in chile. i'm happy to report elder rees was (and is) still doing amazingly well in the mission field, and not missing one bit of his outrageously funny sense of humor. we had the whole gang here this year (minus the elder) as we surprised our parents by flying bob, savvy, and braden out for christmas. it was such a great surprise, and so awesome to see them!
then, two days later, my best friend got married in the salt lake temple..she was such a GORGEOUS bride, and i'm so excited for her and her new husband!
of course it helped that i got to hang out with some girls that i haven't seen for ages..made the wedding a lot more fun, despite the wind chill! january was pretty uneventful, though i did make some resolutions that i managed to keep for a solid 72 hours (eliminating sweets is impossible, i tell you!) february was about the same, though valentine's day was pretty fun--this would be logan, who just happens to be the nicest, sweetest guy you'll ever meet...he surprised me with flowers, then surprised me later after work with ice skating and texas roadhouse..i've got to admit, it was the best valentine's day i've had.
(please excuse my awkward arm....i never quite seem to know what to do with it in pictures, then i kind of just panic and end up looking like that..) march was spent working--and yes, i finally quit working at Vivint, and got a job at Velocity Sports Performance as the Operations Manager. i guess i could've filed that under january, but regardless, i love my job, and i'm so excited to see where it takes me!
i managed to sneak in a mini-spring break, though BYU doesn't technically have a spring break. i drove down to las vegas with a couple other girls to meet logan, drew, and a couple of other friends who were on their way back from california for their week-long spring break. definitely a last-minute, spur-of-the-moment road trip, but aren't those the best anyway? so we stayed down there for a couple days and just relaxed. successful vacation in my book!
and here we are in april..finals start in a week (which is precisely why i'm blogging at 2am instead of studying/sleeping--this would be considered a "break" from studying.) and after that i'll just be working for the summer. i'm excited for a break and amazing weather like we've been having the past couple days (knock on wood), and then it'll be back to school in the fall. tonight i went home to celebrate easter, and it definitely had a special meaning for us this year as a family. my Grandma Rees passed away on Saturday evening, and it's such a great feeling to know that she's going to be reunited with Grandpa and that we will all be able to see her again.
and, as usual, i got to hang out with my favorite little girls--the two who are going to grow up being adorable little heartbreakers..
ms. karsyn..
..and addison anne, the sassiest two-year-old i know..
of course, you can't possibly forget this little stud muffin..i mean, come on..there isn't a man alive who looks better in a suit than this little guy! always a treat getting pictures from the fam across the country!
