2014 Family Letter

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
This year has been wonderful and we would like to wish all of our friends and family the best and give you an update on our lives. Our biggest news is that we are expecting a new addition to our Family in July. Emily is convinced that it will be a girl. Aaron thinks that there is a 50/50 chance that it will be a boy or a girl. We are very excited to be parents! It will be an adventure!
In May we went camping near Swan Valley, Idaho and hiked to the Lower Palisades Lake. It was great weather and the mountains were beautiful.
In August we went to Yellowstone with the Vernon Family and had a great time going on hikes, boating, playing games and spending time with Family.
 Emily graduated from beauty school in January and has been working full-time at Great Clips in Idaho Falls. She enjoys cutting hair and does a great job at it. She has also been taking some online classes from BYU-Idaho and will begin taking classes on campus in January. Emily ran her first race this year and it was a half-marathon. She did great and persevered until the end of the race. She wants to do another one and improve her time. Emily has found a new hobby of doing crafts. She has made some amazing fall and Christmas decorations. She is a humanitarian aid assistant in our ward so she has been busy this year! She is excited to fulfill her dream of becoming a mom.
Aaron has been going to school full time and will graduate with a Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Physiology in April. He has applied to a few Physical Therapy Schools and is waiting to hear back. He continues to work with Disabled adults when he isn’t too busy with school. He also ran his second half-marathon. He enjoys playing basketball and racquetball with his brother Chad who is also attending BYU-Idaho. He is excited to be a Dad!
Snuggles is now 13 years old and is doing great! She will be jealous once the baby is born. Snuggles lives for attention from Emily and loves to cuddle. Aaron has given Snuggles a new nickname: Snoogs. It is pronounced “Snewgs.”
We hope all is well and that we can remember the reason for the season!
Love,

Aaron and Emily Vernon and Snuggles










 One day I cam home and found out we are expecting a baby! It was very exciting. Emily decorated the door all nice and it was really cool!

 We played the game of Bang! With our friends.
 We went to my Grandma's Funeral and were able to remember her amazing life. She was a great Grandma.

 I got to be a pall bearer.
 This was the dinner my Uncle Scott's ward put on for us after the Funeral.
The whole Family... except for Cory who is on his mission in Brazil:)
