I am so behind in life right now I feel like my house is always a mess and I never have enough hours in the day. I need to remember this for future years and plan accordingly so I can get a maid for those few months LOL.
Work has been busy, church has been busy and now that it is the holiday season we are travelling most weekends this month!
Thanksgiving was great, we had a fun time up in Parowan with my extended family and then spent the rest of the weekend at our place in St. George. Ryan and I were able to visit Brigham Young's winter residence on Saturday after having lunch with our friends the Murie's. I hadn't been to Brigham's house since I was probably in elementary school, next time we go up I want to re-visit the Tabernacle and Jacob Hamlin's home. And I want to do a session at the temple. This time though we went to the temple grounds and saw the lights with my cousin's Thom and Wendy and their whole crew. Everytime I see the kids I can't believe how much they have grown and think back to when I lived with them the summer before my senior year of high school and babysat there two oldest CJ and Josie who were still in diaper's at the time and now they are 17 and 15. Man I am getting old! We had a great time with them and overall a very relaxing trip.
My pictures suck they are from my Iphone. My cousin Wendy had the camera and is sending me better ones :)
I am done with work on the 16th until the new year, I am so excited to have the entire week off before Christmas. Especially since we are hosting Ryan's school Christmas party at our house on the 17th. :) We then leave the Monday after Christmas and are in California for the next week, 9 hour drive to get there but then nothing but relaxing after that. I have been buying some books on my Kindle that I have no time to read right now but can't wait to dig into on my vacation.
One thing I am on top of though is my Christmas shopping. I am 95% done, pretty much just stocking stuffers and finishing up buying some stuff for what I am making for Ryan's church class and some neighbor and friend gifts. I am so happy about this because work will be crazy up until the 16th and I really don't want to be out shopping that entire next week. Now I am not promising Ryan I will not go shop at all, but probably not Christmas related. He might threaten to take away my cards and lock me in the house that week.
Ryan and I got our pictures taken a few weeks ago and my Christmas card is done and out in the mail to most people. Whew!
I have so much more I want to catch up on but ran out of time.
I'll sit down next week and post a thoughtful post about different things I have been thinking about recently as Ryan and I have had some experiences and trials lately.
Until then, keep the true meaning of Christmas in your hearts..
