Here is our Christmas Tree- "Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree"

So this post is long, long, overdue! So I will start with Christmas and see where this post leads me! I am trying to get a post in before Valentine's day, man where does the time go. This might be a little overwheliming trying to update everything that has happended in the last month. I have no excuse for my neglect on our blog, I just have too much fun looking at everyone else's blog. So tonight is the night to update.

Our Holiday's were incredible, I enjoyed every minute of it. I also loved all the nice presents I received. Our parents spoiled us! I love Christmas, I love driving down the road and seeing everyone's festive lights, and I love reflecting on the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. We spent lots of time with family, it was awhile ago so now I can't remember every detail. We went to Gateway with my College roommates in December with our husbands. We went to California Pizza Kitchen which was really yummy, and we had a great time with our friends. I feel so blessed to have such great friends, I laugh so hard when I am with them. It is always good times.
In December we also went to the Hogle Zoo with Nate, Brooke (my super cute cousin), Katie and Dan. The Hogle Zoo had Christmas light displays this year. It was pretty clever, it just might be a new tradition. I also got to see the white Alligator, which was really neat.

On New Years Eve we went to Snowbird to watch some fireworks and drink some hot chocolate, we went with Zach and Chelsea. It was really fun, after that we came back to our place and played some rock band, watched a movie and tried not to fall asleep before midnight. I think I might have had a little cat nap during the movie. It was a great start to a great new year!

7 highlights in 07



1. Sealed for all time and eternity to my husband Aaron- ( It has almost been a year since I got married) CRAZY!

4. Going on our first annual Lake Powell Trip
5. Finding out that I am going to be an Aunt
6. Halloween Party with our friends
7. Being able to spend every day (almost) with my hubby Aaron.

2007 was so great, I have so many things to be grateful for. I am excited to make 2008 great. Oh and one of my new year resolutions is no soda pop, I have gone three weeks without it. YIPPY! I am sorry this post is so jumpy and all over the place, my thoughts just are not organized. I think that covers most of December and some of January. So now lets go to present day.

Present Day
Aaron is getting ready to leave in about a month so I am just preparing for him to leave. It is getting really hard knowing he will not be home for a year, but I know that my Heavenly Father is helping me to be strong. I just got a new calling which I love, so I know that will keep me busy. I am throwing Aaron a going away party on Saturday, January 19th so that has been occupying my time this last week, I have just been stressin about food, decorations, how many people will be coming, and the list goes on and on. So I will post pictures of Aaron's party this coming week. Also this week I had book club, which I look forward to every month, because I just love the ladies in my ward they are all such great example. The book we just got done reading is: "Prize Winner of Defiane,Ohio" It was a very good book. Last Sunday Aaron and I went to my Aunt Cyndi's house to see my Aunt & Uncle before they leave on their mission to Figi. It was fun to see family that I haven't seen for awhile, it is always nice to catch up. It was a very nice Sunday, we have 9:00 church now and I love it! Overall this week has been great! I think that is all for tonight. Oh Aaron did get a new I-pod Touch so he has been pretty occupied with that this week. Technology is crazy, this little thing can do everything.


Life could not be any better.
