Growing up...

Well as it goes, the grass isnt always greener on the other side!! Adam and I are very grateful for everything we have been blessed with over the past 6 months to year and a half (our restored health, our education, our wonderful jobs, and family), but life sure does get more complicated as you grow up. We are in the middle of buying our first home and are totally excited to have our own place and to not hear our neighbors snoring at night!!! Again, we are so thankful for the opportunity and the means to take this big step...but the more we talk the more it seems like this is just the tip of the iceburg. We have been determining what we need for the house, what improvements we want to make, and when we are going to do all this fun stuff. We are also wanting a boat and we know that the corolla wont last forever. It has been so crazy trying to figure out when all this stuff can realistically happen. It just seems like when we were still in school all this stuff wasnt a problem...mainly because we knew it couldnt happen while we were still in school. Now that we are in the real world with wonderful jobs, we are in a different mind set (there's always new stuff we are adding to our "want" list).... we just have to remember to take everything in stride!!! It has been so excited but so frustrating at the same time...tips anybody?

And I know I have been bad about blogging...I will be updating my blog shortly.

Christmas in Utah

Christmas day was great!! We started off by opening presents, followed by a yummy breakfast. Dad sure was excited about the Finnihati..a scottish smoked cod fish. Most everyone had a cold this day...except for mom and dad (dont worry it caught up with them right before their trip to Africa, thank goodness they got better before they left!)

Adam taking his Christmas Day nap! He fell asleep watching Over the Hedge. I think we watched 4 movies that day

Here are our stockings before we rummaged through them. Santa does a better job at getting everything to fit in the stocking than I do!

Posing for pictures!! We dont look the cutest..but what do you expect first thing in the morning?

Our Not So Little Christmas

Since we were going to Utah for Christmas with my parents this year, Adam and I decided to do Christmas from each other and his parents the night before we left to Utah. We had a blast opening up our presents and are grateful for all that we have this year.

Here Adam is with his new toy...a new top of the line driver!!! He was so happy :)

Here I am with my gift from Adam...a matching Dooney and Bourke purse and wallet!! He over did it this year but I love them!

Me posing with my new pea coat...an early birthday present from Adam. Yeah!
Adam with his new jacket. It was hard to find the right size...but I got it!

Christmas Pictures

Since we live in such a beautiful city, we really wanted to take Chrismas pictures in the scenery. Here we are about 10 minutes away from our home in a state park. There are so many breath taking views here and we are having a great time seeing them all.
