So when I posted our Christmas Card I hadnt written our letter to go with it yet so here ya go!
Dear Family and Friends,
We wanted to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and update you all about what’s happening at the Scott house! The past year has been one of the best and worst years of our lives! What a ride we have been on! We have been in hospitals more than any person should have to be in there lifetime, watched heartache of loved ones, and seen others struggle with health. Despite all the struggles we have had I can honestly say that the positive things that took place far outweighed the bad.
The birth of our daughter Gabi was the greatest gift I have ever been given. We never imagined that she would change our lives so much. Looking in her eyes each day is a constant reminder of what a perfect daughter of God she really is. She has strengthened our testimonies of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and it is an honor to be called her parents. It is overwhelming at times knowing that God has entrusted us to raise one of his chosen spirits and we believe that she was sent here to bless not only our lives but the lives of everyone who has the opportunity to know her.
Gabi is now 9 months old and is the happiest little girl around. Her smile is infectious and her pouty lip will melt your heart! She also has some awesome funny faces she pulls out of nowhere and we wonder at times what she is thinking! She is developing very well and is starting to move around more and more. Early intervention therapists come twice a month to work with her and are always so impressed with her strength and determination. She is a little stubborn, but so are both of her parents, she comes by it naturally! She is the most observant baby I have ever seen. She looks and feels things and watches every move you make. Gabi LOVES music and has learned to dance and “sing” when ever she hears it, its adorable! She also loves playing with her toys and taking baths. She kicks and splashes like crazy; I think we have a little swimmer on our hands! She is a Mommas girl big time and I love it! Dad gets a little jealous at times but he knows she loves him still none the less! She is such a well behaved easy going little girl but can be a little sassy too! She keeps us on our toes and laughing every day.
Gio has been busy going to school at UVU, working at Paul Mitchell the School as a texture specialist, and running his salon Gianni International. He is very passionate about his job and loves what he does. (I think its pretty awesome too that he can do my hair whenever I want!) He is an awesome dad and always willing to help with Gabi. Gio has more ambition than anyone I have ever met. He isn’t afraid to take risks and start new things. He has many goals and dreams that he is working toward making reality. His favorite new hobby is fishing, he became obsessed over the summer and cant wait to go out again.
I have also been going to UVU and should graduate next spring with my bachelor’s degree. I am working at Home Depot still, but I’m working toward being a full-time Mom as soon as possible! I love being a mother more than anything and I don’t want to miss out on anything. I keep myself very busy with creative projects around the house, being a mom, working and going to school. It’s a little chaotic and I look forward to having a lot less on my plate!
I love the Christmas season for many reasons, but mostly because of the memories and time spent with loved ones. It is also a reminder once again of the birth of our savior and the sacrifice he made for us. I can testify of his love for each of us, he has blessed our life in so many ways and I know that he hears and answers prayers. I am extremely grateful for the knowledge we have and that we may be together forever as families. May we always remember the true meaning of Christmas and let it shine throughout us all year long. We Love You All!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Love,
Gio, Sherron, & Gabi Scott
