'Tis the Season!

I love holidays! Those who know me know that I love all holidays. This season is a particularly exciting time. We are excited to finally be at this point. Mark has finished his finals and classes for better or worse and I am done with school. The last few days seemed to be more like babysitting than teaching but we did our best and it was fun to see them so excited.

This year we invested a little in some new decorations of our own instead of only the hand-me-downs (although we still use many!) but we haven't had the time to put any up! We just barely got Halloween decorations down! We are trying to re-organize and give things a place in our house. The task is pretty daunting. I hope we can actually finish before Christmas!

I am really excited to see Kendra, Cory, and Taylor who are flying out for Christmas! (more time with Colby too!) They are coming from Michigan and the last time I saw them was not for a happy occasion. I hope we can all make this time a happy visit and memorable holidays despite the sadness.

We are also driving with Grandma and our 2 dogs to see my family in Washington. I am so excited! It has been a long time since we really spent time with them and even longer since I have spent the holidays with them. I just hope the weather is good for us so we make it safely!

Well, time to get decorating!

Fast Times...

I can't believe how quickly time has flown by the last couple of months. We have been trying to keep our heads above water with everything that is happening. We did have a couple of fabulous holidays (I will post pics later for those) and a lot of great times with the family. We are looking forward to more this month!

Tonight we are driving to St. George for a roommate's wedding.
(CONGRATS CINDY!) and a visit with Matt & Marcee and Family so I don't have a lot of time to post now but I just wanted to say keep checking in... There will be updates soon!
