'Tis the Season

I just love this time of year. I looked out my window today and saw snow flakes falling and that makes me so excited. I know when I walk out side I am going to smell that clean crisp sent and my lungs will be filled with chilled air! I just love it. I know that (by family rule) I can't put up our Christmas decorations yet, but boy am I tempted. I just love everything about it. The world is covered in White, there are going to be twinkling lights everywhere and the mountains look amazing. It just shows that no matter what the season everything is still so beautiful. In the words of the great singer Loui Armstrong "What a Wonderful World".

Just a Small Change

I have been contemplating dying my hair dark for a couple of months now. I dont know why, but I have always been curious what I would look like with dark hair, probably because my sisters all have dark hair, so why not me? So I DID IT!!! After much thought, I just went for it. Thank heavens for Roo. She is amazing! I love her and am so sad that she is leaving, my hair will probably suffer now that she is moving. But here is a pic, hope you all like it!

This little piggy had...swine flu?

So I'm sure that everyone has heard of this crazy swine flu panic, at least if you live in Utah you know all about the MTC and how some kids went to Mexico on spring break. Any way, I have been really sick since Saturday... but i didn't really think anything of it because everyone gets sick right? well I went into work this morning, still feeling a little under the weather, but much better than before. Since I work at an office full of Doctors, I asked one of them to just check me out to see if there was any special kind of medicine I should be taking. So one of the doctors took a look at me and the first thing he tells me is "You look like you have Swine Flu". Um...hello, that isn't exactly what you want to hear when you are surrounded by people all day long who have been sick and then feel like you are going to cough up a lung at any minute. So under his strict order, I was sent home and told to be checked by my primary care physician. Luckily after a 3 hour appointment, having my ears& lungs checked, and getting my nose swabbed (which is not the best feeling in the world). I waited for my results...and lo and behold, I have a bad COLD. ha ha. It's kind of funny if you think about it. Luckily everything turned out negative for swine flu and influenza A. So hopefully I will be feeling better in no time...but for a minute I was "sweating like a pig" (pun intended!!! wink!)

My Husband!!!

I have the best husband in the world. I know I havent written since Feb. But since I only update like once a year then I figured this would be a good thing to talk about. TJ found a JOB!!! woot woot! I am so excited, thanks to our friends Kelsey and Murray Tucker TJ was blessed enough to find a job. I was so excited that I started crying. Yeah I'm a baby. But I really do have the cutest husband in the world. He does everything for me, and is so sweet. It's my birthday on thursday and he wants to make sure that everything is going to be so great. He even ordered me a Birthday Cake from Baskin-Robbins because he knows it's my favorite. He also knows how to make me laugh whenever I am frustrated, and he is so willing to help out anyone whenever he can. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful man in my life. I LOVE YOU BABE!

To Space and Beyond

I don't know about you guys, but I have always wanted to be an astronaut! I know crazy, but traveling to space would be so sweet! So since I cant I have to follow the only true Astronauts/ scientists I know. Not only do they travel to space, they also have been working on breaking the barriers of time travel. I truly admire their work and so I thought that I would share their experiences with you. Check out the Blog of Ace Johnson & Jeans "Jeans" McCartney they are truly amazing! Just click on the link and you too can become a Spientist (aka...space scientist.)

I know this is long over due...

I know that i am not the best at blogging. but with school and work and other activities, this doesn't really seem like a major priority right now. But here is just an update on whats happened in the past couple of months. my family had the opportunity to go to Costa Rica for Christmas. That was so much fun. We stayed at beautiful hotels, and did so many things that i have never done before. We went on a zip line, which TJ thought was a little too high, went horse back riding down to a water fall, got to go river rafting, and those are just a few of the major things that we did. On Christmas day we too a catamaran out on the ocean for some dolphin watching and snorkeling. the sun set was so beautiful, it really was breath taking. It was such a fun trip. Also on Christmas we got to talk to Austin, TJ's brother who is on a mission. It is crazy how we did it through a 3 way call in America. We were talking to TJ's Parents in the U.S. then they called Austin in Brazil. It was so nice to talk to him, even if he was a little awkward. ha ha! But that was our fun vacation. Now were are just busy with school...talk about a lot of work. But hopefully we will both be graduated by Dec. 2010. So for this new year i will try to be better at this blogging thing, but i make no guarantees.
