I can't believe December is half over...I really do not know where this month has gone.
First a update on the hair, I'm getting used to it more and finding out how to make it look more like me...Ryan is still trying to warm up to it. He LOVED my short big hair and isn't sure this long hair fits my personality yet. I think he will come to love it it was just such a drastic change he was a little surprised.
This last week has been crazy, Ryan has been studying for his final's. This is his last big semester of school and this is also the last grades the Grad School's will see on his applications so he always studies hard but he has been even crazier this semester. He also put in his application a few weeks ago so in the next month or so we will find out what interviews he got and where and what are life is going to be like for the next few years. We are so excited to move on to the next phase of school, but nervous at the same time.
We were able to take a break from work, school and Christmas stress and go up and visit Walt and Lexie this last weekend in Salt Lake. We love them, we have been to NY and Cali with them and we just have a great time with them. We were able to go our Saturday night to the temple and have dinner on the Roof. It was such a fun evening here are a few of the pictures I took. (I suck at picture taking by the way I need to take classes)
We decided to stay over Sunday night instead of having to leave mid day and drive in the dark and were able to just hang around in our PJ's all day and watch football and then on Sunday night made gingerbread houses.
Here is Ryan and I's
And just because she is a pro at it, look how cute Lexie's house is!
It was so nice to get away and much needed. We can't wait to see them again in April when they come to stay with us for a few days..
Since getting home we have been back to busy, Ryan didn't have school yesterday so he did laundry, set up my elliptical, and got the garage ready to be made over into our workout room. I had to go into work and when I got home I worked on some church stuff and we both crashed early. This is my last week of work before the holidays so I am trying to wrap up a ton of stuff so I can completely enjoy my time off. I plan to finish up some of the house projects I haven't had time for and watch alot of Christmas movies on the ABC Family channel.
We leave the day after Christmas for a week in California, my parents rented a beach house for our Christmas present and we are just going to chill. It's going to be awesome!
I haven't talked much about it but Ryan and I have been trying to expand our family for a while and haven't had the easiest time of it so we decided December is a carefree month where we are not worrying about anything, no counting, no stress, nothing. Come January we are trying a little more aggressive treatments, so say a little prayer for us that Heavenly Father blesses us with a baby in the near future. We have been blessed beyond measure in this last few years with my dad feeling better, and our little family has had many different blessing in various ways, so we know we will be blessed with a baby when the time is right, but we want Heavenly Father to know we sure are ready whenever he is! Oh and P.S. this kid is expensive already and not even here yet :)
