WELCOME HOME ELDER NAISBITT!!!
so yesterday was the most exciting day I have had in a long while!! I'm pretty sure everyone knows how close I'm to ALL my family but I grew up next to my cousins, spent countless summers at the fair showing piggies and swimming in the irrigation ditch with jessie, kyle, jake, jennie, luke and lane. All through high school I got to watch Kyle play basketball and we rode to school together since everyone knows my driving record!! :) when kyle got his mission call to Ulaabaater Mongolia the first thing I did was found it on the map, as it got closer to him leaving the more it sunk in, it was sooo far away and two years is a long time! BUT I was excited I know that kyle is such a blessing in my life he is so funny, friendly, lovable, and really smart! I always knew a mission is what the lord expected of him and he also always wanted to serve! time flew by and his farewell came he deff. looked the part as a missionary I wont lie, I was to busy crying to remember it all BUT he did excellent!! It was hard to say goodbye to the cousin who always roughed me up, beat me at basketball, and gave me all the lectures I needed without asking. The first year was hard him being gone for the annual naisbitt family christmas party, not seeing his christmas presents, not seeing him at all the family birthday parties but his letters amazed me!! I witnessed his growth spiritually!! I loved reading his letters it made me realize how lucky I was to be an American, I loved seeing all the pictures he sent home, and I felt special when he wrote me during the times I needed him the most, I especially loved my birthday letter, the second year flew by! I was in a better state of mind, I knew he loved his work , he was safe, protected, and serving the lord, and helping with a lot of service projects!! Christmas this year was the best I got to hear his voice and then time dragged again I was SOOO ready to have him back!! I took the day off work, made sure I had my camera and went to the airport with the whole family, Im sure the airport security hated us!! :) BUT we were prepared video cameras in hand!! Seeing Kyle come down the escalator with his HUGE smile made me sooo emotional!! Im so happy to have him back I cant wait to hear more of his stories!! :)) He left his family for two years so others could be with there families for eternity, sometimes it felt like eternity but now he is home!!
so far I'm loving fall except for waking up early to get the ice of my windshield. I love wearing hoodies everyday to work though!!! here are some pictures of fall thus far.. me and ash took a little road trip to malad idaho for the last outside rodeo of the year.. needless to say we did not dress warm enough luckily a friend of ashleys shared her blanket with us!!! :)) I think the rest of the year we will stick to inside rodeos. we had fun cheering on the bull riders and speeding along the freeway and taking tons of pictures. mostly in the bathroom in downy idaho. hahahaha. me, meg, ari, and jessica went swing dancing it was a good time I learned I need line dancing lessons. Rachel, Alyssa, Lauri, BreeAnn and I got together for a girls night before Alyssa left on her mission to the Philippines, she has always been such a genuine girl and such a good friend and a good example she will do great as a missionary. Jess and I attempted clubbing, it was so much fun even though we took tooo long getting ready and managed to cover lisas bathroom in glitter. kg, greg, jesse and I along with there friends went to haunted hallow then watched a scary movie got me in the halloween spirit. :)) I love the fall and I got the twins Kiyah and Kenidi pumpkins so more photos of parties, trunk or treat, and of course inside rodeos will come soon!! :))
I love the fair!! I look forward to it all year, and save time off so I can be off all week for the rodeo, the livestock shows, livestock auction, the derby and all of that fun stuff. This year was a little more eventful than usual my baby sister Lindsey was showing her steer 
and he got spooked whether it was the rainy weather, the loud speaker, or a tired steer, when she got in the show arena the steer kicked her, she flew and then the steer was off into the fair. My mother called me hysterical but luckily she was ok, mostly shaken up and bruised real good. My cousins, siblings, grandpa, uncles, and aunts live for the fair. I always run into old high school friends, extended family and see my family everyday during fair week. My grandpa is an amazing man and without him we wouldnt have this family tradition. :))
SO... this queening thing is all so new to me.. it takes a lot more effort than just horse shows, I was SOOOO impressed with my baby sister lindsey, she modeled like a pro I was blown away. The morning started pretty early like 4am, curling hair, hair spray massive amounts of makeup. THEN.. it rained.. this is the halter my sister won I was excited it was zebra, earlier in the year my sisters horse had fallen in the ditch and got a horrible rope burn, but a family friend rescued us by letting Linds use her horse. She won miss congeniality as well as horsemanship. :)) way to go sister..
