Iley Rae was born today!

My little brother and my best friend Mari just welcomed their first child early this morning. She's a beautiful little girl named Iley Rae. Wesley just sent me this photo and I am already a very proud Auntie! She is 5.13 lbs and doing great. Mari looks beautiful! What a wonderful day. Welcome to the world Iley!

Hike

Here's some pictures from a wonderful hike my boyfriend Dylan and I went on yesterday. It's a trail in Monarch Beach and wraps around this giant hill that has an incredible ocean view. The weather has been beautiful lately, in the 80's all week! The first week of January! Now that's what I call paradise.

Welcome 2012

It's a new year full of exciting opportunities. I can already tell it's going to be a busy one full of changes and fun! I am starting my LAST (finally) semester at Saddleback January 9th and applying for Universities the same week! I am looking to go to school in Northern California to be closer to my family and to be in a less expensive area. Wish me luck!

I'm back!

I have not blogged since 2008 but now I'm back! Much has changed in the past few years. Updates to come! :)

Back to school!

I've taken a few semesters off of college due to some health issues, but I'm back at school now (yes, summer school) and I'm actually really excited! I'm working towards my Associates Degree. I should have it in less than a year. Wish me luck!

Christmas is COMING!

I went to Utah for thanksgiving, it was a little stressful, but I made it! I love my big brother's home. It REALLY is a fantastic home, that HE built! amazing.

Karlin, once again, threw together an amazing holiday, as did My mother and step father.

Thanks KESSLERS! :) (my family...seriously...)

A little bit about me

My full name is Josephine Dorothy Snyder and I am 21 years old. I have a big family that I adore. I have three brothers and three sisters, loving parents and two adorable nieces and two precious nephews. I am also blessed with wonderful in laws. My sister in law Karlin is a wonderful mother and a great wife to my brother, Jason. I look up to her very much. My brother in law, John always makes me laugh and I couldn't imagine a better husband for my big sister, Paulette. I hope to be as lucky in finding a husband one day!
I teach Preschool and I love it! The kids I work with are adorable and eager to learn. I hope to be a teacher all of my life. It really is a rewarding job.
I love to read, take pictures, sing, do crossword puzzles, eat sushi, play with my animals and spend time with my close friends and family.
That's me!
