Way too long, so sorry...

Still trying to get this blog thing all figured out.

Here's the latest.

Tyler and I had Christmas here in Provo this year with his family, it really was an awesome Christmas I am so happy to have such wonderful family here close. We all watched a beautiful dvd about Christ and read the Nativity together, I am so grateful to have so much family that honors our Savior and makes him the center part of our lives. The Hainsworth's are so wonderful to me I love them and I hope that I do justice to the name that I now carry.

We then headed down to San Diego and went to Disneyland with my family- they are amazing. My grandparents are the most giving poeple I know, so selfless and brought all of us there including my aunt and uncle and their sweet son Porter. It's always surprising to go home to my family because it is so completely different than life in Utah. It's the strangest thing to be thrown into a group of people all like me overnight, my whole time home in Provo i'm trying to keep my identity and figure it out all at once while keeping all of my tight ties with everyone I love here. And then i'm with my Gardner family and it's all so ridiculously natural and easy to be me and not feel judged or overly analyized. They see the world through my eyes and understand who I really am and the good in the "real world", but I still bring part of Provo with me the part that i love to share.

My sweet Tyler, is the most patient person in the world. I admit that it's a little easier for me to adjust to a quieter more adult-like atmosphere than it is for him to adjust to the squirley, nutty, noisey, and lively atmosphere at my home. But man does he do great, he loves my sibbilings and talks about them sometimes even more than I do when we're here in Provo. We like to have fun, us Garnder's, and when Tyler's brother-in-laws happen to range from 22 years old to three years old it just changes the element of family. Not to mention our favorite moments squashed altogether on our old couch TV off, and conversations on, we share life, music, and memories together, this usually ends up with laughing so hard you think you're going to pee your pants. It's clearly a contrast to the chill nature of many couches low-deeper voices, talk about cars, golf and the Lakers beeting the Jazz. OH HOW I LOVE THEM BOTH! I've been a part of a lot of differnt dynamics and this is one that has never happened until now, nor would i have ever expected it to be my life. But I'm learning and loving. And couldn't be more blessed for the opportunities both of my families have given me.

Well Tyler got all of us free breakfast at the Hilton in Anaheim when they expected us to sleep in a suite with out any beds and stuffed my whole family in a room with only two queen beds. LOL. There's somehting so right and perfect about Tyler pushing my brother Jaren in his stroller at Disneyland and buying him an Eva stuffed animal from the disney store and sending it to him in the mail. And it just makes me feel so loved to get a phonecall from Byron needing help with his spanish homework and being able to get excited for my brother in laws as they start dating awesome girls. Bottom line is we are both feeling really blessed for our families. Doing so well together and loving life.

Here's the latest in our world...
So I've started my practicum in the schools i'm at Sharon Elementary in Orem in a first grade classroom. I have learned so much already, I thought that i for sure wanted to teach the upper grades but after being in this class it's really taught me a lot about the potential position i may actually take in the younger grades, these kids are so cool. Tyler and i went up to one of my friend's receptions up in South Ogden a few weeks back and it was really fun to see a few other friends there too. But the greatest of all the announcements is the new baby that has come into our life, yes my friends Tyler bought me a guitar! Wahoo! It's been so nice to play a guitar that makes me excited to play and inspires me again. Hopefully there will be some new music in the works here soon. We are really enjoying teaching our 14/15 year old sunday school class. They are an amazing group of kids and we feel really privileged to be with them. Today Tyler and i got our hair cut together , as it was happening i knew that would be the last time we got our haircuts together b/c frankly my hair takes a little longer. So needless to say i was savoring the good company as he looked so handsome with his new dew and i was getting prettied up. It was a good saturday, BYU won, for that i'm grateful , but man alive they need to get a new defense. well this was a bit scattered but thus is our life. love you all.
