2010

Wow!!!! I can't believe the year has gone by so fast. I want to say though it has been a blessed and sad year but all is AWESOME!!!!

At the beginning of the year the Hubbard family after a year away from church after having Jace and just alot of mixed feelings especially me and after careful thought and prayer last Christmas headed back to our church and ward and boy was it a great feeling and an Awesome decision. The next month was nothing special . March of course saw Ashtyn turning 3yrs old and I celebrated my 32nd b-day. It was also a great month cause I had en called in febuary to the relief society comitee and for the first time ever I felt like I was in a great calling and a great place. then April came and after meeting constantly with the Bishop every month Todd and I were blessed and worthy to recieve our limited Temple recommends and got the chance to go to the Gila Valley Temple with family and see such a beautiful sight. we also attended in the Stake the dedication and it was beautiful I was so moved and can feel all the greatness that was about to happen. May was pretty quiet and then June came and on the 24th we celebrated Jace's 1st birthday which was so much fun and special cause we got to share it with family and jointly with his cousin who turned 1 on the 28th and I swear those two could be twins but for now they are cute little partners in crime lol!! I t was also an Awesome time of month cause the next great worthy blessing came and that is Todd finally was worthy and got his Melchezedick Priesthood. i am so proud of him and all that he accomplishes and does for our family. Unfortunately on July 1st tragedy struck and became very sad yet spiritual when heavenly father took my half-sister Marci to be with him. I miss her lots and lover her much but and so happy she is in a beautiful place and can't wait till next year to do the work for her I would love to do. I know this Holiday season she will be very missed and is thought of but I am all smiles for who she is with. August arrives and with Todd having the priesthood we finally got to give Jace a name and a Blessing and it was so beautiful and I love the support and love of having our family there to witness it. It was also a great month in that we talked with our Bishop and set a date to interview four our Temple recommends and to set the date for our Sealing and endowments. September was pretty quiet and flew by quickly and then October came which was an Awesome month. Todd and I and our little Family were found worthy to get our Temple recommends and we celebrated Todd's 28th birthday all in the same day. then came a fun little Halloween which me and the kids dressed up this year. Here though we finally come to November a time not only to give thanks but the best Month of the year and my life, our lives. November 4th 2010 Todd and I celebrated our 5 yr Wedding Anniversary and on the same beautiful day got remarried in the Mesa Az Temple getting Sealed to eachother and our children to us which was the brightest moment ever and also getting our endowments that same day. The best word to have described such a day was AWESOME!!! Besides my baptism and confirmation and the birth of my children that was the best day of our lives especially mine and we were so blessed to have a Family who loves and supports us there to be with us in that special time and to have such good friends and members of our ward family there as well. 2 days later I auditioned for the 2011 Easter Pageant and i also bore such and Awesome testimony that Sunday!! We also got to spend Thanksgiving with our Family which is always such a fun time. i am so thankful and blessed to be apart of Todd's family cause you all are just Awesome people and we love all ya. So here we are in December, Christmas time and my favorite holiday and time of the year. The tree and inside decor are up and we have seen Temple Lights. I have also gone around looking at some beautiful houses that decorate every year and is a favorite tradition of ours and we hope to make it to zoo lights this year as well. The month has also been filled with fun Christmas parties and lots of Cheer.I will note that I did not make it into the Easter Pageant this year but am looking forward to trying again next year. I look forward to Christmas and the end of the year!!!

As a family we definitley look forward to more continual blessings for our family and another great year for 2011. who knows what is to come but I know that right now I am on a cloud of happy and Awesomeness and Awesome will continue to be my word of the year. We look forward to seeing everyone into the year.

Wishing all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!!

Love The Hubbards!!!
Todd, Arien,Ashtyn, and Jace
