Sheldon and Emily Mallory

This was a really good Christmas!!! One of my favorite by far! We had our traditional Christmas Eve Chinese dinner with Grandma and Grandpa Blaine, Nik and Kandice, and Dave and Sheri, and this year SHELDON!!!!! We had a lot of fun. After that we went up to Albion. This year Sheldon's family stayed the night at the bed and breakfast in Albion. It was a lot of fun to be with everyone.

The girls and I love getting matching outfits and PJ's and Sheldon and I found a great match this year.

Christmas Eve Dinner

Sheldon surprised me and came over when we started opening gifts! I was so excited to see him!

Christmas memories

~My Endowment Session~

I had a very special endowment session. Aunt Karla was able to go through the day before I did, so it was special having her, Melissa, and Jeff there with me. I received my endowments the Saturday after classes were done, so it made for a great ending of another great semester. I am so blessed to have the support that I do from such a great family. It was the perfect day. There were several women from my ward who were working that night and were assigned to help me. It's always nice to have familiar faces. But most of all, I am grateful for a worthy mother who was by my side the entire time! She is always a great help and full of wonderful advice. Seeing Sheldon's face when I finally got to see him made me feel instant peace!

We went to JB's for dinner with everyone. I love getting together with the family visiting and making memories!

End of a new and last semester!

My last single semester with roommates!!!!! I was more than excited to not have to worry about who was going to do the dishes, or who took this, or what boy did this. But it was a good end. We went to Applebee's for a roommate dinner and had some of our FHE brothers come. Then we had our gift exchange. I had Vanessa and Kristen had me. It was a fun semester full of some great memories. I am so glad I had Sheldon by my side! Another semester come and gone. I am almost done with my associates degree, just 2 more classes!!!! Then all I have is my nursing classes and I am done! I spent my 3rd semester engaged!!! Finished all of my foundation classes and planned a wedding! It was a really good semester!
