Our New Place

Warning: These pictures were taken within the first few days of moving, so it is not 100% organized. We love this place though and are excited for each new phase of life!

Move #7 in 3.5 years

We are moving into an apartment in Idaho Falls here in a couple weeks! Excited to be in our own place. We found a great apt for a great deal. At least I think it is a good apt...I haven't actually seen it in person. I am taking Andrew's word for it. It seems like this is almost a normal process for us now. I haven't seen most of the apts I have lived in before we moved in them. As for the #7 part...its true. This is our seventh move in the 3.5 years we have been married. Crazy! The funny thing is that we both HATE moving. We are excited though to finally have our own place.

February Updates

I am not a very consistant blogger, but its mostly because it takes sooooo freaking long!!!! Anyways, quite a bit has happened over the last month and a half. First of all, my nephew Cooper was born. What a little cutie. He was a little over six pounds. He is sooo tiny. Also, my family went skiing at Jackson Hole. I love that hill and we had a blast. I went on my first real jump and landed it twice! I am not a daring skier so for me that was a big deal. We also had the opportunity to go to Washington to visit our good friends Taylor and Amanda. We had so much fun being with them again! We have so much in common with them, its almost scary. Amanda and I always joke that if we switched husbands, we wouldn't know the difference. They made sure we were very comfortable! Thanks guys. We miss you already! As for my job...its going great and I feel truly honored to work for such a great dentist. Well folks, that is the highlights of our life in the last little bit. Thanks for those who care enough about us to read our blog updates!

Changes In Life...

So I realized that a big thing has happened to me that I haven't blogged about. I am working full-time as a dental hygienist!!!!! I finally got a job and LOVE it! I am working four days a week in Idaho Falls. I feel so blessed and thankful right now!!!

Fun with Friends

I was able to spend some time with Jessica and Chelsea from Arizona!!!! It was so great to see them both again! I love you guys!

Its Christmas Time!

We had a great Christmas with family. On the 23rd, we went to my G&G Forbush's house and had a potluck. It was so nice seeing the aunts, uncles, cousins, and especially my grandparents. Then Christmas eve was spent at my dad's house. We started a new tradition for the grandkids this year where we read the story of Christ's birth from Luke and acted it out. Of course the grandkids played all the characters. It was really neat. We also had food that they had in the olden days like goat cheese, figs, pita bread, and other nuts and fruits. That was cool to experience too. I think the kids understood more of the true meaning of Christmas. Christmas Day was spent mostly at my mom's house. We had a present exchange game that was fun and also had an amazing Christmas dinner. Later we went to my dad's and opened Christmas from eachother. Andrew got me exactly what I wanted...some workout pants from Victoria's Secret and anti-wrinkle eye cream. I knowunds rsounds retarded, but I am already starting to get them. I spoiled Andrew with a remote conrol helicopter, windows tinted for his car, and other smaller things. We are so thankful for all the blessings which we have been given and most of all for our Savior Jesus Christ!

Thanksgiving and the Weather

Thanksgiving was a blast. We were able to spend time with both of my parents. My two favorite things about Thanksgiving are the food and spending time with family. Both were perfect. The food was amazing and most of my family was able to come to my dad's for dinner. On the other hand...this weather is crazy and not so perfect. I like snow for the month of December and that is it! The weather the last few weeks has been rediculous. Driving has already been terrible. Hopefully this dies down when Christmas is over. On a lighter note again, I am so excited for Christmas. I can't wait to spend it with my family and best of all...my hubby!
