Goodbye Elder Gubler!

Elder Nicholas Burr Gubler! Called to serve for two years in the Alpine, Germany mission with Austria, Lichtenstein, and half of Switzerland! Nick is my hero. He is one of the best examples I have in my life. He is obedient, fun, loving, smart...okay, lets just say he's the bees knees and he's already being the BEST  missionary ever! For a long time, I was holding back the tears. But when that sunday came...wow, I was a mess!! At least he knew how much I was actually going to miss him and how much I really do love him. He's been in the MTC since January 18th and he's already a District Leader. j

Yeah for Elder Gubler!! Love you so darn much!!!

These pics were taken right before we said our goodbyes and dropped him off at the MTC. That drop off is miserable by the way. It's like i'm dropping a package and they just yank it away from you with no time to actually look at it. Harsh right?

 Father and Nick. Two amazing men!

 Holding back the tears really hard. He is the best. Seriously. 

 Now Nick was doing a REALLY good job at not crying. I was almost convinced that he wasn't going to at all until he picked up this little ball of joy Taive :) Then they all started rushing. It was the most tender thing someone could watch. Taive will be two 1/2 when he comes home so leaving all of the 5 nieces and nephews was real hard for him. 

 It's kind of hard to smile when you're crying. But I guess we all succeeded! 

 I don't know why I was special and got to go to the real drop off, but yes i'm just in the back balling my eyes out. I honestly didn't think I had so may tears!

 Little Lauren Anne chasing after Uncle Nicky. Makes my heart melt :/

Now there was something special with Nick and Ellie. Ellie always LOVED Nick and Ellie is not a very emotional baby. One of the first words she learned was Nicky...what a coincidence? She's actually saying Nicky in the pic above. Hopefully when he gets back that love for each other is still there :) AND Ellie rarely smiles so this pic just proves how much she loves Nick. She's just the cutest girl out there!!

New Years

For real New Years, this great crew here went to Mason's house and played fun games all night long! I honestly was having so much fun I didn't realize it was almost 12...loved it so much!!

For a post New Years celebration, Adams birthday, and Nicks final ho-rah, my family and I went up to my brother-in-law Adam's cabin which I love with all of my heart! It's up in Sundance which is up the mountain from Orem (hometown) and even though there wasn't a lot of snow, it was still SO beautiful! I always love going up there because it's the perfect getaway and I get to spend quality time with my Best Friends in the Whole World!! Below, Addie is 7, Lauren (Lolly) 3, Andrew 5. Can you believe they are already skiing? Holy Moly! I love them!!!

Fall of Fun

 This girl here, Katelyn Jones, is my fav person ever! She's literally my best friend. Together 24/7-not kidding. We always go on little adventures like the one above and I love them to death. We're never not laughing, which I love doing so it's just great!!!

 Now we ladies above, decided one day after school to go rake random peoples yards for them. I loved every second of it! Raked 4 yards, filled the truck with filled bags, and the people never saw us raking at any of the houses. I felt so good. I absolutely love my friends and service!! Then we had a dance party, soul sesh, homework sesh, pizza party, and topped off the night with going to The Help. Good day!

 This beauty is Aynsley Ovard. The cousin and best friend. I LOVE HER!!!

 I know I had a previous post about Sadies, but I had to post some pics from the Day Date. It was so much fun!! Loved every sec of it!

 This here is Kiel Lambson. One day in Seminary he was asked to carry everyone's backpacks in the class for a good 20 min. He's a champ!! I never really got the point of why he had to do that though?

 Miss Callie Jean Stewart! Yes, I love her too :) of course friends like us like to match (kind of) somedays, especially when it's not planned! Leather jacket, grey jacket underneath and the scarf. Matchy, matchy!!

Nick and Me :) I love you brother!! You rock my world!

 Every year the Gubler side of the fam has a fun party like pictured above. Last year it was ugly sweater and mustache party-this year, Redneck party!! My fam started the tradition which shows how much fun we have when we're together. We all looked completely hideous, but I loved it.

 Three best friends, Three cousins the same age. Lets just say we're triplets :) plus Zack creeping in the pic.

Lastly, I was finally given my Young Womens Award after being finished for 2 months. Bishopric is a little bit slow, but it's okay; i got it! For Night of Excellence Lauren Smith and I read the New Era for a year. I love her. I honestly can say she's like my sister who is my best friend but wont hang out with me cause she's scared my friends dont like her? Typical (my friends love her). But we still play :)

Weekend Getaway

This past weekend, I escaped up to Orem with Mother Susie and Papa Shan to go through the temple 
with Nick and then help Annie move into her new house!
It was the perfect timing to go. All of the fall colors are everywhere and I could finally wear my jacket that I've wanted to wear since Christmas last year. Not kidding.
I absolutely LOVE my fam...as I've told you plenty of times before.

I also got to visit and go to lunch/dinner (whatever you want to call it) with this fine woman RYLIE ELDER!!  She is honestly one of my Best Friends. No joke. We grew up together and sadly I had to move away :( But thank goodness we've stayed close because I really love her a lot!!!


Good Weekend. Good times. Love Life.

Favorite Memory

I was given the assignment in school to find my favorite family memory and while I was on the search I stumbled upon my FAV MEM OF ALL TIME!

Aren't these pics beauties!? I know i'm in love with them.

These were taken when my fam was tearing down my house for remodeling (obviously a while ago) and while we were working, we found joys in reenacting my attitude and just being flat out retarded.

I love my Family!

Hope you enjoyed those as much as I do!
