I Surrender!!!

Lately, I feel like I cannot go anywhere without hearing people talk about "blogging". Seriously I will be talking to girls and they will start finishing eachother's stories, because they just got done reading the exact story on some former acquaintances friend of a friend's blog. It's CRAZY! My friends are always asking me when I am going to start a blog, and I am always blowing it off with excuses......I don't have the time.......I don't want to post my family all over.......What the heck is a "blog"......yada yada yada, but the honest truth is that I am completely computer illiterate, seriously the only class I have ever failed was my seventh grade typing class. My report card literally was all A's and a D+, and that was with a lot of begging and extra credit. It is a miracle I have figured out e-mail after all these years. There you have it......... I have technophobia!!!
So Let me take this moment and give a shout out to Lacey May for helping me set up this blog and the super cute background. She is one of those girls who has ridiculous talent in every department, and I am forever grateful for the countless times she has lent it to me!!

So I think I will start off by writing about my fabulous weekend with my awesome, wild, and hilarious Spitzer family. I flew to Boise, Idaho to go to my Auntie Rose's wedding. I got to hang out with all my cousins, aunts, uncles, brothers, sister, parents, and my beautiful Grandma who is seriously more "hip and fashionable" than I will ever be. Here's a pic of some of my great family

These Pics are from my Grandpa's funeral, which I can't even think about without crying. I feel so incredibly blessed to have had the Grandparents that I have, the cousins that are more like my brothers and sisters, and all the great and fun memories. We are loud, fun, crazy, and we love eachother fiercely!! I can't even tell you how many times I have seen my Grandma thrown over someone's shoulders spinning when we have turned some everyday event into the biggest zero talent dance competition you have ever seen. This family has made me who I am. When I am with them hanging out and laughing , I am home. This past weekend was one of the funnest I have ever had and it was simply because I was hanging with some of the best people, watching one amazing woman get married, and just remembering who I am. I love you guys!!! I am proud to be a Spitzer!!!A few of the things I love about my Auntie Rose:

• Her GREAT sense of humor. She is hilarious. I laugh just thinking about her!
• Her sense of adventure and ability to always stay young. She will still jump in the car with all the "kids" and go to the midnight movie any night. On one of our Lake Powell trips we named her "Aunt Extreme," because she is always up for anything. (my other favorite Aunt was nicknamed "Aunt Cozy" but that will be saved for a future blog)
• Her crazy ability to turn a normal bike riding story into the most intense, detailed, and hilarious event imaginable.
• Her great testimony. She has taught me so much about the gospel, especially the atonement. I can remember in detail talks that we would stay up and have years ago. She really has been a significant contributor to my own testimony.
• Her calls out of the blue just because she wanted to talk to a "happy person," and they always seemed to be when I really needed them.
• How she always made me feel and know that she loved me like one of her own.
• Everything about her!!!! I am so happy for her!! She has a great guy now and I hope he knows how lucky and blessed he is!!!
