Road Trip!
















Two posts in one day?! Wow, I'm on a role! Well yesterday Kelle, Therese and I took a road trip to Sedona. We did lots of cool things and talked to many nice Sedona folks. When we got there we ate at a little cafe and there were actually signs on the table that said no cellphones! Ya, right. We saw and walked through two different labyrinths and went to two different alien/UFO themed places. People really like aliens in Sedona apparently. We ate dinner at the Red Planet Diner which was awesome and very well themed! There were good laughs and good talks with good friends. I got to feel balanced and take in the Zen-like atmosphere of Sedona. It really was a good day.

Christmas!











Well, Christmas is over. It was wonderful though. A great time with friends and family. Laughs, hugs and of course egg nog! We were lucky to get to have three different Christmases. Josh and I had our own, we spent Christmas Eve with my parents and then all Christmas Day with Josh's family. I love giving and the joy it brings me to see someone open a gift that makes them smile. That is worth any amount of time, stress and money that may come along with shopping during the holidays. I got many gorgeous and wonderful gifts but one that was very exciting is my KitchenAid Mixer! We got one for my mom months ago when we started shopping for Christmas and without even thinking of it (though I've really wanted one) to my surprise I opened one as well! Now it is on to the New Year and new adventures. I hope you all had a great year and I can't wait to see you in the upcoming one!

A new blog look.




I was getting so bored with my old blog template. Therefore, a change was needed. Now all I need to do is remember to change it after Christmas is over. Well, one more week until Christmas break. I am so excited to have time off and to spend it with friends and family. I just cannot believe how fast this year has gone by. Maybe my next post will be a nice overview of this year. Sounds good. BTW, yesterday was one year down for Brian being gone on his mission. Holy cow! That went by fast. Also, Collin had his first school performance this week. He was so cute! Two kindergarten classes sang two song and rocked out with little cardboard guitars and sunglasses. Adorable.
