haaaaaaappy new year, errybody!
Typical of our screen-dependent generation, our Christmas/New Year card is a blog edition this year. Procrastination reasons, mainly.

But hey! Better electronically late than never. Here it is.
PMR. 2014.
PMR. 2014.
Mallory and Preston (they are best friends forever),
had a 2014 year to always remember.
It will go in the books as "The Year of Boise",
because...well, that's what it was, you see.
It was a delightful, wonderful, busy year,
full of laughter and smiles and more than one tear.
They both started jobs, big-kid-style,
and went on adventures and had a child.
(jokes, jokes.)
Preston started the year with his new job downtown.
He wins the Hardest Worker Ever Award...hands down.
He shows up before 6am to his job at Clearwater,
working accounting software magic better than Potter.
But no rest for the weary, not for this cute guy!
For after he comes home, he gets to apply!
Apply to The Great World of Law School, that is,
For you see, a JD/MPA is a big dream of his.
After all those things are done and through,
and he gets to rest for a moment or two,
Preston plays in city leagues (basketball, football...softball?) or fixes a car,
cheers for Cougars, watches movies, and listens to NPR.
Mallory, now, is a real-life teacher.
(Good luck ever trying to reach her.)
She spends her days with her 5th grade munchkins,
(except...they are big. like...bigger than me. i'm the munchkin?)
Teaching and praying and picking up lunch bins.
She has learned a lot about sacrifice and love,
and Pokemon and Minecraft...sort of.
But seriously, no really, she has grown so much,
as she prays to help these lives she can touch.
It is hard and rewarding, demanding and satisfying,
But all she can say is she really is trying.
And while she is trying, the Lord is her Rock.
He strengthens her daily through this Life Walk.
Through it all, the thick and the thin,
PMR are the happiest they've ever been.
Mainly because...well, they have each other,
(This is the part you can say, "oh brother.")
They are oh-so-in-love, and they have an awesome ward,
They are close to family and are never bored.
They have traveled afar and they have traveled a-close.
But being together is what matters most.
They wish each of you a happy new year,
full of laughter and smiles and a cup of good cheer.
But if those things don't happen and it doesn't work out,
they wish you some faith that is stronger than doubt.
They wish you the love of their Savior dear,
who lived His life for everyone here.
He knows you and loves you and atoned for you too,
That you might be able to see this life through,
So when things get hard and things get tough,
They wish you the best gift they can think of.
And that is the gift of the Atonement true.
That is given for me and is given for you.
