"The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul. No matter our talents, education, backgrounds or abilities, we each have an inherent wish to create something that did not exist before. Everyone can create. You don’t need money, position, or influence in order to create something of substance or beauty. You might say, I am not the creative type. If that is how you feel, think again. Creation is your opportunity in this life….. Start small. Creativity does not require a brush, a pen, or the keys of a piano. Don’t let the voice of critics paralyze you. You will make the World a better place. Improve, beautify, extend, smile, cultivate, develop, create."
~President Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Christmas Ornaments

One of our Christmas traditions is to buy a new dated ornament each year.

It of course started with our first Christmas together...

The next year was when Corey went to basic training and AIT...

The following Christmas was of course right after Nathan...

And we finally got an ornament for this year...in honor of me graduating!

Yay!! I love Christmas traditions!

Cute idea. I like how each ornament has a special meaning. You looked very beautiful for the military ball.
