I'm definitely behind on posts. The biggest reason being that we lost our camera. Well I found it last week, but now I can't find the cord to hook it up to the computer! Oh well. So now you get lots of writing and phone pictures. Yay!
Life is still great, school ended nicely and our jobs are going well. I'll start school again in a week or so and I'm taking awesome classes! Painting, photography, graphic design, and.... geology. Ok so the geology class probably won't be that fun but it's the only class I need to FINALLY get my Associates. Jake finished his first University of Phoenix class and is on to the next! His first class was a joke but hopefully this next one will be more challenging and interesting for him.
We've moved from Tempe to Maricopa and are living with Jake's parents again, this time with hopes of buying a house soon. However, now that I live here and have to drive 45 mins to work every day, I'm less and less excited about house hunting here. I feel like we're in Limbo and I'm not sure where we should be going. But we'll figure it out with time and with prayer.
So the Holidays! I'm sad they're over but relieved at the same time. (I really loathe Christmas shopping). For Christmas this year we visited my family in UT. Most of the pictures were taken by my parents and can be seen on their blog brendandoug.blogspot.com. My dad is the best blogger around. Here are some of our festive photos...
My wonderful public speaking class friends! That class was so fun, couldn't have asked for a better teacher or class.
This was definitely the highlight of the trip! Jake was swerving like crazy through my mom's office park. She's so cute! The best is her laugh at the end, it's a long video but worth the watch.
I totally forgot about Thanksgiving! It was fun and pretty low key. We had dinner with another family in the ward. The best part of that day though was finding these little guys! Jake caught one before dinner, then as we drove home after dinner we found two more! Jake got out of the car and meowed to them, and they both came running! It was so cute, like something from a movie. We had to give them all away but I'm sure they made wonderful Christmas presents for some happy children.
And that's that! We'll have more to come soon, I promise!
This was in the herb garden, it smelled so good in there
This is my favorite, I love how the spines look with the sun behind them. These little cacti look like a miniature city.
I made Jake come with me but it was fun :) there was a chocolate festival going on at the same time so we got to taste some yummy chocolate!
