Hey all!!! So I have not updated for quite awhile and now that I am out of school for a couple weeks and Will only has one more day of class this semester, I am finally sitting down and taking the time to update our blog. (and watching Christmas Vacation at the same time!)Well December has been such a busy busy busy month and both of us can't believe how fast the time has flown bye. Will has been keeping busy rebuilding a trailer for one of his friends and he is getting lots of practice at his new favorite hobby:welding!! And he is dang good at it too. I have some pics below of the trailer he built....if only I had pics of what it looked like when he started..needles to say it only cost $100 and barely worked but it's great now. Will has taken all but one of his finals and has been kicking butt at school! He works really hard and luckily he has a great job that he has extra time to study. When we got back from Utah for Thanksgiving, I was soooo anxious to get a tree so the very next day we went and found a little tree farm thingy and went to work picking out our tree. There are no pines for sale so we went with a Douglas Fir and I loved it...it smells so great. It was funny cuz the guy that was selling us the tree told Will to back off cuz he's the tree surgeon and let him trim the tree....Will and I were laughing so hard! We got our tree up and decorated and I already had our house decorated before we headed to Utah. I also put up our fake white tree in our kitchen and a small fake white tree in our entry way....I know....I just love trees...the more the merrier! The last week has been sooooo busy for me with finals and soooo stressful...by far the most stressful exams I have had. I had two judges for teachers this semester and it's harder to prepare for their exams. But to be honest...they are over and done and I am not looking back only forward and I really don't want to talk about law school until I have to go back in January. So Will has been quite the shopper this year. He saved up his military money cuz he said he really wanted to spoil me this year and I told him not to but a couple days later there were about 7 presents(2 huge ones)under the tree to me from him....so I am EXCITED!!!!!!! Will is having the Elder's Quorum over to our house on Tuesday for a chilli cookoff and to watch BYU in the bowl game...I am excited for them..it should be fun. Oh yeah...so I really wanted to get Will a recliner for Christmas so I have been keeping my eyes peeled on craigslist which by the way is FABULOUS here in Michigan...we have bought so much stuff on it...ne ways....I found this lazyboy recliner that looked really new and in great condition so as soon as Will got off work, I made him hop in the Yukon and we headed off to Farmington to pick it up. Well, we ended up buying it but it was not really what I had expected or what Will really wanted but it's growing on us. It's actually like an oversized love seat that reclines. It's nice but HUGE!!!! I like it but we're still debating on whether to keep it or look for something else. So today is the first day of my official winter break and first thing this morning I headed outside in my full on snow gear bound and determined to make a snowman. Unfortunately the snow we got overnight was really soft and would not stick together and the guys who shovel our snow got quite a kick out of my attempt at a snowman and Will even thought it was funnier. I also made some toffee(which I am still working on getting the temperature needed figured out being at such a different elevation), sugar cookies and dipped some pretzels. I really love this time of year. I love being able to use the talents my grandma,mom, and sisters taught me to bake goodies and make crafts and be able to share them with my friends and their families. I LOVE baking and it's so relaxing for me to be able to bake. Well...Will is on the couch asleep and I am going to upload some pics and finishing watching Christmas Vacation, so goodnight to all and until next time! Peace n Love!
