It was a sad day when I had to say good-bye to my shopping, Glee, cooking, and laughing buddy! For almost 4 weeks, we were lucky enough to have Jayson staying with us. It's even more special since he will be leaving for 2 years to go serve a mission in Orlando Florida! Luckily we made some really good memories to try and tide us over while he's away. Jayson made EVERYTHING more fun.
I seem to remember (and document) the big events in our lives - birthdays, holidays, job changes... But what I want to remember is the little things - the way David and I hold hands, the way Karsten looks with his hands behind his head without a care in the world, Skyla's giggle, and Sierra's ability to block the world when she's reading. So here's to what I want to remember the most... the little moments of our lives that equal a much bigger picture.

This little boy had a birthday...
Yes, you can count them - all the candles are there! And yes, it is sugar free! And yes, it is a wonderful day to celebrate a wonderful man.
Happy Birthday David!!!

Aloha
Lots of people in Alaska go to Hawaii for spring break. And when I say lots, I mean half the state. So I'll admit - I was feeling a little bitter looking at all the snow. Until I remembered I had 12 leis. I bought them a long time ago knowing that someday I would need them. How happy I was to realize now was the moment! It was all the inspiration I needed.
We invited our friends who made the party absolutely fabulous by invading the Hawaiian shirt section of the second-hand store and we had one mean luau. Complete with fresh fruit, tropical fish, and lots of hula dancing.
Maybe one year we'll join the Alaskans that come back from spring break with very tan faces. Until then, thank goodness for friends who are on the same white boat as us. Mahalo Noble family!

Spring Break
A little of this...
And a little of this...
Lots of this...
Of course a spring break in Alaska wouldn't be complete with out some of this...
Throw in some downhill skiing, movies, one crazy hike, Wii, cookies, and a luau, and Spring Break 2011 was a success!

Dark Clouds Fade...
Suddenly my step is a little lighter.
And I'm sure my smile a little more truer.
And if you look close, there is even a twinkle in my eyes.
Our clouds of darkness have gone away.
It started with a doctor's appointment which
rid David of his neck brace!
It continued with a mission farewell that we are so thrilled about and get to attend!
It's sprinkled with the news that our friends really are going to come visit us this summer!
And it ended with the purchase of
two tickets to Paris France.
Oh how I've missed this feeling!
I do believe it is called HAPPINESS!
