It's been a while since we've posted.
We don't have a really good excuse other then by the time Sunday comes around all we want to do is sleep and eat. They call this the college finals funk. . More just lazyness on my part. oops. Actually we've meant to post the past few weeks and have even slowly added stuff to this post.
I am now determined to finish it or we'll have an outrageously long post trying to catch up on everything. We're doing pretty good. We're almost done with this semester and the Christmas Season has begun!!! I LOVE this time of year and anytime it has snowed the past few weeks my Christmas cheer has become just that much brighter. Jay is a sweet heart and "puts up" with all the Christmas music, baking, snowflakes, etc. Ive been "putting up" with it for about 4 months now lol.
The following is an update on the past few weeks since our last post.
Timmie has officially become comfortable with us as her humans. She has adopted the cat tendencies of sitting on our homework, keyboards, and books. Its cute until your homework needs to be done and she gives you the look of death if you go to move her. I should also mention the passing of Skittles, our beta fish. S/he took a trip down the toilet express. We did have a wonderful funeral and ceremony AKA Sharyti told me the fish was dead, then a couple minutes later I hear a splashing sound and the toilet flush. Goodbye Skittles.
As a young married couple each Holiday we try to establish fun traditions we can have for our family. Well it was a no brainer when Jay wanted to get the bow out to practice since it had been awhile, to shoot pumpkins. New family tradition - Pumpkin Archery. In this case we started late and had to use a spot light to be able to see the pumpkin. Definitely added a whole new element to the game. Only broke 2 arrows, so I'd say it was a success :)
Every Thanksgiving the local choir chorals gather together and have a Thanksgiving concert. My Grandma Lu sings in the Orem Choral so we went and watched her sing and all the other fun performances. It was really beautiful and a great way to start the Thanksgiving Holiday week.
Thanksgiving was a full day. We had Thanksgiving dinner at my families and then went down to Mona to celebrate with Jay's family.
Note - We didn't make these pies. . I wanted a Thanksgiving picture with Jay and so what is more Thanksgiving then a live Turkey. . well we didn't happen to have one so pies had to do. These were actually my moms pies and they were amazing! Can you see the temptation in my eyes? Oh how I wanted to give Sharyti a taste of my pie haha.
The food was soooo good. Many thanks to Sharyti's family!
It looks sparce of people but that's because the kids were all downstairs playing and the adults somehow managed to never be in the same room all at once.
I love that my brother and sister in law know that if they need someone to hold their little girl they can always give her to me. Her smile melts my heart and I love making her laugh (Which is super easy). One of the many many "favorite" nieces. :)
Jay's family scheduled a cultural hall for their Thanksgiving Celebration because his parents house is too small. . The crazy thing is not all of his siblings and their families were able to make it and it was still a big/huuuge party. Super fun and the pies . . oh the pies!
Williams Boy's Thanksgiving Shootout. No one got shot!! It was good times and the kids really enjoyed it!
Christmas decor is up and a plenty.
This is our life right now. School, work, eat, study, sleep, repeat. Jay's and my finals are all this week. By Thursday night this week we'll be extremely happy and our brains will be fried. We're not just excited for the end of this week because it means finals are over, we may or may not be going to Salt Lake for our 1st YEAR ANNIVERSARY too. One whole year!!! It's gone by so fast and sooo much has happened. But I am so grateful I got to spend it with my stud muffin of a husband ;) (que your inward groaning) A wonderful year it has been! We've been very blessed and are grateful for all we have. Looking forward to another amazing year with my sweetheart :)
