BaCk To ReAlItY

So i realized i had kind of checked myself out of the blogging world for a little while... I need to catch up!!

Well the first thing I guess i forgot is my Dear Amanda Jo left us for a whole year to go nanny in New York! So happy for her, but man do I miss her and her sarcasm. She left January 7, at 11:20 PM. Worst part is she had never flown before.. ever! So ared eye to a foreign land, all alone, the first time flying. What an adventure!! Before she left she had wrote us all individual letters. I waited til the car ride home to read mine.... lets just say, I was dehydrated after that night!! She sent us all a text at about 4 am saying she had landed.... and as far as I know shes loving it! I am just praying she doenst end up staying out there forever.... although itd make a good reason for a vaca!!!!
Second on my list.....
Look Out Fresno, California. Elder Christopher Jay Hortin is coming to town!!! He got set apart January 31. The whole family went down to his house and just hung out til like 930. I never wanted to leave, But he looked so cute in his suit and tie and name tag. So i gutted it up, and hugged him goodbye. Then went directly home and wrote him a letter that i sent the next day.. haha I had some things i needed to tell him, that I most likely wouldnt have been able to say out loud without crying. So i wrote it. Basically, Just how much i loved him, how much I look up to him, and how proud of him I am. Hes been a little brother to me. The little Brother i never wanted... so God gave him to me in a cousin form. haha and I am so blessed to have him in my life.

Now its time for the big time tourneys in wrestling. As you most know, at Wasatch, wrestling is a way of life. The Hortin family is no different!! Youll never see a tournament or dual that were not at. You'll actually probly hear us before you see us, but hey its what makes it fun. PArker is doing so well this year. I still can't believe how much hes grown. I still think of him as my short little friend. but no, hes a full on man, with a deep voice and huge muscles.

and lastly but definately not least, me and eli have decided to start taking Temple classes. With everything that has happened the last few months, theres no way we would have made it with our sanity without God's help. He does so much for us, and we want to do everything we can to continue to get His blessings. Im hoping to get married in the Temple December 26, 2012. ( the 2nd anniversary of when we got engaged) so Pray for us!!
