We know we are a little late in posting Christmas but we both were off of work until Monday so we were busy doing all sorts of fun things. Christmas thing year was great we love the time we both get off it was so nice to not work or worry about school for almost two weeks. We got to spend time with both of our families and just relax. For New Years we had a few friends over and played Wii and some board games. We were sad to see it go by so quick but we look forward to this new year and all that it has in store for us.
This year will bring a change for us, most people already know this but in August we will be relocating to Memphis, Tennessee for Optometry School. Yes we will now be known as "Memphians!" We had our choice of a few schools but after a lot of prayer and fasting we know that this is the right decision for us. We are so excited to go but sad to leave at the same time. It will definitely be a huge change but we can't wait to see what it has in store for us. If anybody knows of any great places to eat or the best place to live there let us know we are open to any suggestions! We will also take visitors any time as well! We also look forward to still being close to a temple, Andrew had a chance to go to the Memphis Temple while he was there and it is less then 20 minutes from the school! Also if anyone wants to buy our condo let us know!!!
Another big thing this month is that I finished my last course to graduate. I officially have my Bachelors degree and am excited to not return to school. Andrew has a lab credit to take care of and that is it so he is hoping to do some research so he doesn't have to take a class. All in all we are doing great and wish everyone a Happy New Year!
WARNING...lots of pictures!
We took a drive up to Heber and Park City and stopped off at Jordanelle, it was so beautiful!
Andrew's big surprise...I saved all year and surprised him with a Nikon D60 he absolutely loves it and takes it everywhere he goes! He surprised me with a Silhouette machine (like a Cricut)! It is fun to use but I still have a lot to learn about it but I love it!
We helped Andrew's sister move into her new townhouse and this is her view out her living room, the new temple in South Jordan!
