Christmas and School

Well to start off I had a great Christmas. It stress free and full of lots of family stuff (between Zach's family and mine) It was a lot of fun. It is so nice having a boyfriend's family like you, and you like them. It makes life a lot easier and less stressful! McKay and Chayse were so cute this year too, they actually got the whole Santa, elves, and Rudolph stuff. It was just a great day, I will post some pictures below. Also, I have great news....I got into Graduate school at the U. I got into the advanced standing program. I start next fall and it will only take me a year to get my master's degree! I am so so so excited and very nervous! It's going to be tough, but it will be so worth it in the end!

Merry Christmas

I just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas! I hope everyone has a great time with family and friends and we can all remember the real meaning of Christmas!

SNOW!!!!!

Many of you might look at this picture and say "Awe, that is beautiful and serene." To me this is my worst nightmare! I have a hidden phobia that I would like to get off my chest! I am terrified of driving in snow. I was crying on my way to work this morning and I even came in late just to make sure all the snow plows had time to plow every road I would need to use! I hate it, it gives me major anxiety. Now, I am sitting at work and festering in my anxiety as I look outside and it is dumping snow! I am not looking forward to the drive home...let's pray I don't die!

Disneyland was a blast!

Well I am back from Cali and back to real life! Cali was so warm and so fun! There were so many times (like the airport, that is for you Britt) when I could not stop laughing! The weather was great, and being with my family was great! The kids were so fun to watch and I just love my Niece and Nephew so much they are my little buddies and I could not even imagine how anything would be with out them...I hope I love my future kids as much as I love them! Here are some pics from the Trip!

The only picture we took a picture of everyone that went. Sorry you couldn't come Jord...we missed you.

Chayse gives the cutest kisses. She also says I love you 4 million billion..... and then says something such as M&M's, pizzas, or fruit snacks. This whole trip it was 4 million billion "kinkerbells"

Mckay loves taking "silly face" pictures!

Chayse and me swimming

I just like this picture, chayse is such a cheeseball!

Yes, Mckay is on my back and I am holding Chayse. I feel like the I was carrying a kid the entire time!

My personal Christmas!

Well this week has been a good one. On Thanksgiving I went shooting with my family and my friend Tracy. It was a lot of fun and for the first time I shot a hand gun. I am a good aim! It really was a lot of fun though. After that Thanksgiving carried on as usual, dinner, and loads of games afterword! Then came my favorite thing of the entire year!!!! BLACK FRIDAY, it is my own personal Christmas, I love it that much! I started shopping at midnight on Thanksgiving and we didn't stop til about 8am!!! It was great and I bought so many clothes for cheap!
Then this weekend I went to the Jazz game on Saturday, which is always a good time. Then on Sunday we did our annual Downtown Christmas Lightsm with the family! It really was great and now I am writing this when I should be packing because I am leaving tomorrow for California to see Christmas Disney! It should be fun and don't worry I'll tell you all about it!

Gotta love this week!

Well this week has been great! First and foremost, I loved Twilight the movie. I was really nervous before I went and saw it because I didn't like the actor that they chose for Edward. However, he was very charming in the movie and I fell in love! I really enjoyed the movie and plan on seeing it again and buying it the day it comes out on DVD.

Second, you gotta love them Utes! It was a great game! This was great to finally get back at all my BYU friends and shoving it into their faces (mostly Jacquelyn and my Bro in-law). Zach is a BYU fan too so I had a great time with the win!

Third, I made it to my first JAZZ GAME of the season this year, it was a lot of fun and I love going to them and we have tickets for a few games coming up and I am so excited.

Fourth, The new love of my life is my new laptop. I got a sweet laptop this week and I love it!

Finally, The reason for the this week. I love Thanksgiving. I have had a lot of chances this year to really see how blessed I am. The one thing I have really realized is how gratful I am for my tribulations. I have had some rough patches in the past little while and I can't even express my gratitude for my family, friends, and most of all my faith. I would have never gotten through the things that I did with out them. They continue to help me with my daily struggles and I don't know what I would do without them. I am so grateful for the the lessons they have taught me and I am stronger and more faithful person because of it. I will never know or understand how I got so lucky in life. I am so thankful this THANKSGIVING! HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!

Update just for you Stacy!

Well first I will say meet Zach everyone...he's cute, he's fun, we've been dating a few months and I'm sure you'll be seeing more of him on here!

Second, on Halloween we went on a big group date to a haunted house. We went with my good friend Stacy and her husband Cameron. It was a blast and I forgot how much fun I can have with Stacy! While hanging out that night she informed me that I haven't updated my blog in a long time and that it is her pet peeve when people don't update their blogs. The funniest thing about this is that Stacy doesn't blog! So This is for you Stacy!

Well things have been going good, super busy, but really good. We had a great week-o-Halloween! We did lots of fun stuff like making carmel apples, candy, and carving pumpkins. Then we had a great weekend on our big group date and we went to a Brazilian restaurant last night and bowling with some other friends. The Brazilian Restaurant was so yummy, but a little to much meat for me. Zach loved it and of course he would because he served his mission in Brazil! Here are pictures of some of our fun week!
