Just another blog

Well the weather here is much different from Arizona, lol of course I knew that. It was kinda funny as we got to the airport in Phoenix, Arizona it was raining. We got to Cody, Wyoming and it was snowing. LOL. Well we had a white Christmas, well it hadn't snowed since Monday and the snow didn't really melt because its been cold. Today we have a Winter Weather Advisory for the Big Horn County (where we are at.) It snowed alot last night and this morning. Justin's mom and dad tried to go to work this morning around 6:30 am, I guess it was still dark (iono, I'm never up that early) haha. Well we get a call from them telling us that they ran off the road because they couldn't see. So Justin's dad didn't go to work this morning and is going to take the night shift for Justin. So I'm glad I get to spend another day with Justin.

Our Christmas was really good, we opened gifts at 9-10am, which is nice hehe. I got a $50 itunes card and a cute stuffed teddy bear, chocolate covered cherries... YUMMY!! Justin got a few things, I don't remember. Justin's family has a tradition like my family did while growing up, we really don't do it much anymore. They draw names and what not, well his bro Marshall and his wife Hannah had us and they got us gift certificates and a lil magazine that we could buy anything we wanted from it. We could also go online and see what else is there. I'm glad they had us because in the magazine you could get an ipod speaker system, and Justin got a stereo that plays mp3's and ipods so we both were happy with who had us. We had Tommy and Sumer and they wanted movies. We were glad that we got gift certificates from our family for Christmas, it came in handy because this month has been super tight financially for us. So we used that money to get Sumer and Tommy the rest of their Christmas gift. We had gotten them a small teddie and moose that weren't that much and so when we got in on Monday night we went to Wal-mart and got them the new batman movie and movie popcorn that came in a bowl and some theature candy. Overall it was a really good Christmas. Thank you Bethanie and Nick for the card, it did come in handy. We even got a few things that we needed and the money that my gma gave us and the card buffy and nick gave us we still had money left over =). So Thank you again!!
We love you and Thank you for a wonderful trip!!

Visiting the fam for Christmas!!

Justin and I had gone to Thatcher last week on Wednesday because that's when Jordan was flying in off his mission. We were excited to see everyone, especially the lil kids. We had learned that Jordan and all the other missionaries that were in the Houston Texas mission that were coming home had missed their flights. So they wouldn't be coming in till 6:30pm instead of 12:30pm. So mom and dad took J and I too buffy's and nick's house. We got there and Zack came up to the door and saw gma and gpa and got all happy then looked at J and I and ran into the other room by the tree and was on the verdge of tears until gpa picked him up and told him it was ok. Trevon came to me and J started playing peek-a-boo w/ him and he liked it at first and then started crying after awhile. They took awhile to warm up to us and once they did it was smooth sailing from there. We all went to the airport and waited for Jordan's flight to come in and learned that their flight has been delayed about 30 minutes or so. After he finally got off the plane we all went out to our family tradition resteraunt Olive Garden. YUMMY!! The next day he had gotten released and so we all went clothes shopping, Justin and I went to go find black shirts for the family pictures that we'd be having while we were down. We found some that I actually liked. We go back to Buffy's and say goodbye to everyone and head to Thatcher. We get there, I felt bad because J drove all the way home and I tried so hard to stay awake to help him, but I couldn't I was so tired. It seemed liked the week flew by way to fast. Saturday came and we were supposed to take fam pic's but it didn't happen, but it was okay =). We went to El Charro instead =) YUMMY!! I was excited. I had been craving good Mexican food for awhile now. Well Sunday comes and Jordan did a good job on his homecoming talk, it was really good to see some people. It was hard to see other people.
Nick, Bethanie, Justin and I went to the hottubs that night just to spend some quality time w/ each other. It was really good, I'm glad we did. We had decided that we would stay 1 more night in Thatcher and then head back to Phoenix in the morning to catch our flight later that night. We go to TGI Friday's to go and eat before our flight, it was really good to spend more time w/ them.
I have to say this trip down was much better then last time!!

New Hair Cut

Well its official, I let someone else besides Bethanie cut my hair early Nov. Surprising right?? Yeah I know, I love the new hair cut. Its easy to take care of, sometimes. lol. After she was done she had puffed (YUCK!) my hair and since its naturally wavy/curly it was way puffy. I didn't like it when she did it. The next day I straightened it and one side was longer then the other so we went back and she fixed it. She cut my hair while it was curly and so she learned her lesson not to do that again lol. Yeah I was a lil sad because my hair was just getting to get long again, but this way my hair will be very healthy and not have the dead hair in the back.

Weather

Its so cold here, you'd think that since being here for so long I'd get used to it. I guess I've still got Arizona blood in me, hehe. Well last night snowed for the first time since it got this cold. It didn't snow a lot because it melted today, there are some spots still that have snow on it, I guess we are supposed to get more. Kinda stinks because all of our winter clothes are in storage in Star Valley (6-8 hrs away). Kinda weird that we haven't gotten our stuff yet, but means we are still living w/ his parents there is no room for our stuff.
