Wow! Two months have passed since I wrote. SO MUCH has happened. Here's a quick rundown of the last 8 weeks:
- Amelia visited the surgeon and found out surgery will not be needed. Hooray! She just needed to finish a few weeks of physical therapy and wear a brace until May. In addition, she can't do any strenuous exercise or activities (dancing) that may twist her knee until October.
- Cooper continued with his ballroom and lift class, performing at Dancing with Rexburg's Stars. He was amazing! He has been so good to continue with his gym workouts regularly.
- Cooper performed in The Nutcracker and was fantastic! He made me cry with his talent and hard work. His pas de duex with Abby was beautiful. He loved performing and is looking forward to next year. (Dianne booked him until graduation!) 😂
- Amelia finished her first semester of college and did well in all her classes! She's moving home to save money for a Europe trip with the college she's taking in a year.
- We had a fantastic Christmas!
- Amelia went through the temple to receive her endowment. It was such a special day! My mom and all my siblings and most of their spouses made it. A few close friends from our ward made the day perfect. I'm blessed to have such a kind, wise, and mature daughter.
- We held the Call Christmas. It. Was. Insane.
- Cooper rang in the New Year with friends at a dance, and Amelia went to a party. I partied at home in my pajamas with my favorite movie.

Here's to 2023!
