Kirsten Cooley

My sister has always been such an amazing friend. For the past 20 years we have been filling our lives with memories of each other. From building Barbie mansions in the living room to being threatened with the loss of a mole. We definitely have had our ups and downs...but no matter how bad...

We always make up! I don't know what I would do without my big sister! I love you, Kirst!

My New Home

Happy Birthday!

I just wanted to wish my cute little Spenser a very Happy Birthday....I love you!

School...school...school...

Spring semester is in full swing! I can't believe we've already been through 2 whole weeks. Hopefully the whole semester goes by this fast! There's been very little going on besides classes, trips to the library, hours passed in the tsc, and many, many nuka-filled walks acrossed the quad. I love all my classes this time around and I'm actually loving studying (don't judge me). This weekend I took a little time away from the books for a little fun... on Saturday Ryan and I headed down to Salt Lake for the Auto Expo. So much fun! It was a little sad leaving though, as I realized that I don't even have a car haha.

On Sunday we had a little family dinner up at the Carpenter's...after dinner activities are so unpredictable.

Don't mess...

They Do Come Home!

My fav cousin Charlie returned home from the Indiana Indianapolis mission a few weeks ago! It's crazy to think 2 years can go by so quickly yet take so long! He completed his service, though, and came back to us! Let's just begin with the fact that it was freezing that morning... Michelle was driving so she had to scrape the windows. Shut the door!

Our knowledge of his flight information was being blown around between times so we ended up in Salt Lake a little early. We decided to take our extra time over to Temple Square. We spent some time doing activities....

Even though we all needed a little help, after a few phone calls we completed our family trees!

Then we walked upstairs and watched the Joseph Smith movie. No matter how many times I see it, it is still amazing! It's fine that I cry everytime too. After a highly unexpected run in with my girl Jaclyn we were off to the airport!

The first embrace with mama
Elder Carpenter returns home!!
We love you Charlie and are so excited you're home!
