President's Day Weekend!!!

Presidents Day Weekend we had a chance to go down to St. George for some soccer games and warmth. Well we got to see soccer games at least 7 of them but we didn't really get the warmth. It was warm for a few hour each day but not really what we wanted. We watched game after game but it was a lot of fun. My little brother Spencer's team didn't win any of their games but it was fun which is all that counts and my little sister Katy's team won every game but one of them which they tied. They got to play in the Championship game and won it was a lot of fun for her team. Most of the girls on her team have been playing together since they were 9 or something like that and now they are graduating so it was fun for them to win one of their last tournaments. We ended up not leaving St. George until six on Monday night and got caught in the snow storm outside of St. George but after Cedar City it was clear. All in all it was a lot of fun and the next four years we will miss our Presidents Day jaunt to St. George. I guess we will have to find somewhere else to go that weekend closer to Memphis.

















Last Saturday we had a chance to go to another Jazz game with our friends the Moores. It ended up being a pretty awesome night to go. Before the game they had a short video honoring Larry Miller and presented his wife and kids with flowers. Then we all sang the National Anthem together. It was a good game and they won which is even better!

Jazz Game!!!

Ok so I know it has been a long time since our last post but I just haven't felt like updating and truth be told we haven't really done anything fun lately and with Andrew home at night now we are able to actually do stuff together which is a first in a long time. We did have a chance to go to the Jazz game at the end of January with my sister Emily and her husband. We had a lot of fun eating at California Pizza Kitchen before the game and then going to the game. They lost just barely in the last minute but it was close the whole game. They played the San Antonio Spurs. It was a lot of fun and we look forward to going again to another game this weekend

Merry Christmas!!!

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!

Last Sunday we decided to go down to the Music and the Spoken word and it did not dissapoint...The music was wonderful, I just love this time of year!

Been a While....

It has been a long time since I updated. Life has been crazy and it is slowly calming down. Here is what we have been up to:

-Ward Party we had an excellent dinner, great entertainment, and Santa came and Mandy and I just had to get our picture with him...he wanted us to sit on his lap we didn't feel so comfortable doing that so we posed instead!


- My little sister Katy is in Madrigals and has done almost 50 performances since December 1st...this one was at our old elementary school...she is in the red snowman pajamas kneeling on the floor....it has been a lot of fun watching her perform this month!

- Decorating for Christmas...this is before we were totally done but we went and bought a real tree this year and it smells so good but it leaves a mess!

-Babysitting my cute little niece Jocelyn every Tues and Thurs afternoon til her mom is done teaching school. She is so enthraled with our ceiling fan she could watch it for hours on end....we can't believe how big she is getting she is almost 2 1/2 months....

-This week is finals and we cannot wait to be done and then after next Tuesday we are both done with work and school til the 5th we are excited to see each other for more then an hour a day!

Girls Night Out!!!

Last Weekend my friend Bobbi was in town from San Diego for the Utah game and so Friday we did GNO with a few friends from high school! We went to the Utah Women's Show which was fun and we got a ton of free stuff and some stuff that wasn't! Then we went to Pei Wei for dinner and just talked. It was a lot of fun!
