Barf Bag

For Christmas this year, Jeff and I are in New Jersey! We were very excited to leave yesterday morning. Our flight left at 5:40, we are had to be at the airport at 4:00 AM! We got about 3 hours of sleep, thats how this adventure all began! We got to the airport and Jeff was very friendly with the lady who checked us in. As we were boarding, that same lady pulled us aside and asked us to wait a minute. It made us a little nervous, but it ended up being a good thing! She handed us our new tickets, seat 4E and F! That's first class! We were so excited to be in first class, once in a life-time opportunity! Then, as the plane was taking off I got so sick and YES, don't worry, I threw up in the barf bag. Jeff then proceeded to make fun of me and told me it was all in my head. (Don't worry, he will eat his words.) After our stop in Houston, we boarded the plane and I was so nervous that I would puke again during take off. I did ok, but Jeff didn't. He threw up on the second flight. We were so miserable, chilling and achy. The rest of the day we were so sick and not doing well. We came to the house and went right to bed, slept from 7 pm-11 am. We are doing much better today, but will never forget our first Christmas trip to NJ!

Our first Christmas tree... it's only 4.5 ft tall but we love it! And I LOVE our stockings.... $10 at Downesat

Christmas Trees!

My family has a tradition of going in the mountains the day after Thanksgiving and cutting down a Christmas tree. This year we were lucky enough to have LOTS of snow and it was fun! It was cold, but fun. Here are some pics from that... (yes, Jeff is sledding with my 7 year old cousin. He went down once and said it was too much work to walk back up!)

This is how I feel about my life right now..... I'm just saying

Baby sister

My baby sister (who is technically 6 now) was in the hospital over the weekend! :( It broke my heart. On Thursday at school she was playing on the flippy bars and fell off. She immediately stood up, no tears, and went and told the duty that her arm hurt. The duty took one look at her arm and said she needed to go to the office and call her mom. The bone had snapped in half above her elbow and was sticking out causing a bump in her skin. My mom took her to the doctor who sent her to primary childrens hospital. There they took x-rays and decided to do surgery and put pins in her arm. My sister has 4 pins in her arm holding the bone together . She has done so well and did cry once during the whole ordeal. I can't even imagine being a mom and watching your baby go through something like this... it killed me and she is only my sister!

Hola,

I am officially the busiest person alive! I am now working 2 jobs, going to school, and trying to be a good wife! Its crazy. I got a new job this week working with my aunt as an aide in her 3rd grade classroom. It will be way fun, but I am going to be gone all day... everyday. And its in Draper, so I have a cummute. (For example, I was in the car for nearly 3 hours yesterday between all the driving I had to do.. from the new job to class to home to my other job.) I am also working at the Alpine School District as a preschool teacher for the Family Literacy Center, 3 nights a week. Its way fun, the kids are hilarious, but it means I don't see my husband from 4:30 am (thats when he works) til 9 pm some days. LONG days! But other than that we are doing good. We are going to two sessions of conference this weekend and a misison reunion for the Seattle Washiongton misison. I'm pretty excited and hopefully I will have pictures to post next week.

Until then....

Get excited to hear the words of the Prophet and Apostles!
