Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope all is well with everyone. I am amazed how fast this year has passed. This year has been a very fun year! As many of you know, I returned from Mexico a year ago in October. I was supposed to return to Mexico a month later, but decided it was in my best interest not to return. I filed for divorce in February and it still is not final. I am hopeful it will be in the next couple of months.

Some of the highlights of my year have been Christmas last year, the Nielson, Small, and Loveland Reunions! Grandma Nielson’s 80th Birthday Party. A trip to Oregon to visit Leah, Ryan and the twins, during the 4th of July! Lots of fun time with my sister MeLinda and her kids TyLene, Tayson, and Jace! Working in the After School Club at Harold B. Lee Elementary! A business trip to Sun Valley with my good friend Lori Zilles, and a visit to the Twin Falls Temple! Great talks with my awesome Mother! Fun activities with my brothers! Walking in the mornings with Grandma & Grandpa Small! My friends Marie & Mike moving back to Salt Lake City! Dropping in and chatting with Aunt Jo! My friends Javier & Brenda taking out their endowments and soon will be sealed! Trips to Salt Lake to visit Alaina & family, Verolinda & Arturo, & other friends! It has been so fun being close to family again!
I am still employed at Bear Lake Memorial as their floor specialist. I’m looking for another job in Cache Valley so that in the fall I can finish my schooling at Utah State University. I will be staying with Uncle Sam & Aunt Marilyn. They have graciously opened their home to me. I am very excited to stay with them!

During this particular Christmas Season, I have realized the great love of our Savior. I’m so thankful for him, and for the things he has done for me. I’m very blessed to have the gospel in my life. I’m very blessed to have the wonderful family that I have. And I’m thankful for their unconditional love & for their continued support!

I love you all & wish you a very Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year.

Lots of Love, RaLauna Ann
