Just a quick update

Hey! We hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas! I hadn't updated in a while, so I thought I would write a quick note to let you know that Shawn and I had a very fun, though slightly crazy Christmas.

It started on the Friday before Christmas. For about a week before then we had planned on going to the Vegas Bowl, because Shawn's brother-in-law got us free tickets. Then on Wednesday he let us know that the tickets fell through. We were pretty disappointed, but we said oh well, we have HD television. Then that Friday night (yes the night before the Vegas Bowl) he calls and says get in your car and get down her because I got you tickets! So we drove to St. George late that night. and driving to Las Vegas the next morning. We went to the Vegas Bowl which was amazing, and yes we did rush the field. We had to jump off of this advertisement thing to get there, and it was like a 12 foot drop, and I thought I broke my leg when I landed. Despite the fact that I couldn't walk for like 2 days, it was so much fun.

Anyways after the game, we were going to drive back to St. George, but we got too tired and stopped in Mesquite. I made Shawn stop when I looked over at him in the driver's seat and his eyes were all fluttery and kept closing. It scared me half to death.

So we drove back home on Sunday, and went to Shawn's family's Christmas Eve party on the 23-strange I know but that was the day Lori could come. We finally got home at midnight Sunday and we were so exhausted and Shawn and I both had to work on Christmas Eve. We spent the evening of Christmas Eve playing games with his family and stayed that night and all day the next day with Gary and Bonnie.

We both had to work again on the 26th and have pretty much had a relatively normal weekend this last weekend.

We both work today and get tomorrow off. We are going to watch football all day.
I will post some pictures of this all when I get a few minutes.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Happy Birthday to Shawn! Shawn turns 25 today!

Holiday Pictures

Over Thanksgiving, Shawn and I had some Christmas pictures taken, and I just realized that I never put them on here. We also had a family picture taken of my family.

Christmas Party

So Shawn and I went to my work Christmas party last night at the ballroom at UVSC. It was pretty fun. Rich and I worked on a blooper reel of our TV show that we showed last night. I laugh every time I see it. So Shawn also had a final last night so he left in the middle to go take his final, and he still made it back before the end. We had a really good prime rib dinner, and had some good entertainment and got our picture taken by the Daily Herald Photographers. We also won a door prize. We got a waffle maker that makes heart shaped waffles. Not exactly the TV, iPod, portable DVD player or some of the other stuff, but I was so excited just to win something.

More Snow!

So it's light outside now, and I thought I would post some more pictures of the snow we got last night (and are still getting now, though not as hard).

There is about 8 inches out there right now.

SNOW DAY!!!!

So I woke up this morning, and knew I had a busy day. I left the house and went to a Christmas party, where Shawn was the Santa Claus. It as for Lindon Care and Training Center where Shawn's mom works. They are a care facility for those with developmental disabilities. There was a really funny moment. I sat down next to one of the residents who was so excited to go sit on Santa's lap that she could hardly sit down in her chair. I asked her what she was going to ask Santa for, and she said, "A Beer and some Smokes." I couldn't stop laughing. It was hilarious!

Then we went to lunch with Shawn's parents which was really fun. Then at 2, we had Shawn's work party at the Seminary building. We were there for just over an hour, and when we came out, there was snow EVERYWHERE!!! We were on our way back to Shawn's parents, which is like 2 miles from the Seminary building, and we got stuck in the snow going up the hill. We got out, and then drove the long way home so that we wouldn't have to go uphill at all. It took us 45 minutes to get back to his parents house. It is still snowing here, and so we decided just to sleep here tonight and go back to Springville in the morning, so that we don't have to drive in it. I hate driving in the snow, and wouldn't you know that Shawn and I both have our cars up here because Shawn had early class this morning and just came up straight after that. So we are just chilling out with the in-laws, and we are going to watch Christmas movies tonight. It should be fun. But I do have to say that the snow is absolutely gorgeous out there. It was a little dark when I took the pictures, but they are still pretty.

Anyways, remember when you were little and used to sit by the radio, hoping that they cancelled school for a snow day. I loved those days. They were the best. No worries, just fun in the snow, and a mom that always made chilli.

Ok, so you have to look at the amount of snow piled on the arm of the chair. That is how much it snowed today, and notice it is still snowing.

Ryan Shupe and the Rubberband

My friend Jeannette and I went to the Ryan Shupe and the Rubberband concert Thursday at UVSC. It was pretty fun. Peter Breinholt also played. It was their Christmas Concert, so they mostly played Christmas songs, and was good to get in the Christmas spirit.
