Well you know how it goes. The Holidays got busy and I haven't blogged in well, a good long while. Here is my best attempt to play a really quick catch-up.
November
-We spent Thanksgiving in San Diego at my oldest sister's house with her family! It was fantastic! I think Thanksgiving at 60 degrees and a trip to the beach the day after is the way to go.
December
-We went on a Cruise with Randy and family to the Caribbean. I always love to take a nice warm trip in the middle of winter to try to break it up a little bit.
-We said see ya later to Bailey for 18 months when she left to serve the people of Columbia, South Carolina on a mission.
-We had our first Christmas as a married couple! It was seriously the greatest. We got a teeny tiny tree (A real, live one 'cause Waylon says "Fake Tree, Fake Christmas") We had a great Christmas Eve at my mom's house with all the Howells and a lot of delicious food. We woke up Christmas morning and exchanged presents at home. Waylon has better fashion sense than I do and got me some really cute clothes. It was hard to tell what his favorite gift was. I think it was a toss up between his new Nike Elite socks and his large tub of Chik-fil-a sauce that came in his stocking. Then we headed over to the Hervey's to exchange gifts, and then off to Grandma Sara's house! Next we went over to Randy's and lastly back to my mom's to play some games and eat left overs. It was a very busy day but we wouldn't have it any other way. I love that we have so much family in the valley that we get to spend time with.
-For New Years Eve we kept with one of our favorite traditions and went to the buffet at The Coppermill with my parents! It's delicious and it's fun to spend part of our night with them and some of my siblings. When we got done at dinner we headed out to Waylon's brothers house to hang out with them! It was a nice laid back New Years (And the 5 year anniversary of Waylon and I's first kiss)
January
-New Years day my mom and I went down to the Dillards in Ogden because we are still sore about ours closing and it's her favorite sale of the year. Apparently every other person that used to go to the sale in Logan was there too! It was absolute chaos! So jam packed, we will not be doing that again.
-I started my 3rd to last semester of my undergraduate degree on the 6th of January. Spring semester is really hard for me for some reason. I don't like leaving the house when it's cold, I just want to stay home in bed! So far so good, 2 weeks in I haven't missed a class yet (knock on wood.)
-Hopefully we are starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel of these crappy graveyard shifts. Waylon has officially applied for a couple of day shift openings now its just a matter of waiting and getting through the interview process.
-Waylon started winter-workouts with his freshmen baseball team. He absolutely loved coaching last year and we're both really excited to see what this new group of boys bring this season.
Well, there's my catch-up. We're busy as ever with work and school but really everything
great, I couldn't ask for anything more.
