Holiday Video

Chris made a video on his iphone. I think it's cute, so I'll share. http://fb.flixlab.com/watch/03xtbtc0oaowp1ebiy5ecvys4h?p=0hx5hu1utexq71xse7sn0j2d41&s=e

Bringin' in 2010

Chris spent December 31st skiing with Danny in the amazing waist high powder at Snow Bird. I went sledding with my family on a hill near Lori & Brad's lot. There was a STEEP hill. I decided to take a chance. It was iced over, I was flying!

We brought in the New Year by having fondu with my family.Who doesn't love fresh fruit dipped in chocolate!?! We had delicious chicken to dip in Matt's famous Alfredo sauce too. It was a yummy night. The kids loved watching their show with Grandpa Mortensen.


We then went to Colby and Tommy Hoschouer's to play Ticket to Ride and watch The Proposal. Great movie, great friends, and very chill New Year's Eve. Perfect!

New Year's was similar to the previous night, we had a BIG breakfast with my family and then spent the rest of the day snowmobiling with the Hoschouer's. Fun times! We're going to have to save our $ to get a snowmobile. It's serious marital boosting when you have to hold on to one another for dear life. :)

Holiday Month

Isn't July great? I love all the holidays & visits from family. The fireworks are my favorite part! The fireworks on Independence Day in Washington, DC were absolutely amazing. I don't know that the fireworks I'll see this year will compare, but at least I'll be with Chris. Fireworks are that much better when you're with the one that you love. How's that for corny!? It's true though, cuddling under a blanket with fireworks going off above your head is one of the highlights of the year for me.

Family visits are lots of fun as well. I'm looking forward to my 10 year reunion. I'll get to spend time with my sister, JoAnn, and her family, as well as my parents. It's been a long time since I spent time in my good 'ole hometown. It should be fun. The Mormon Pioneer Days are always a good time down there.

My nieces & nephews sure love visits from Grandma & Grandpa, as you can see from the picture of Kaylynn, Grandpa, & Ryan. Blake sure loves the fireworks as well. It's amazing how quickly they grow. Sometimes I wish it could stay this time forever. But, every year I get a little older, and so do they. In fact, my niece, Nicole, visited for a week. She's going to be a senior. I can hardly believe it. She's beautiful, intelligent, and talented. I'm proud of her.

Kids are amazing. Every once & a while Chris & I talk about when we'll have kids & what we'll name them. You can only imagine the discussions (AKA arguments) that begin. I love the names Rylee, Jaycee, Jackson, and Carter. Chris once mentioned the name Dash, for a boy. I think we have a LONG way to go before we have kids, if those are the names he's thinking about using! :)

Actually, I recently learned that my LPC license is a little further off than I thought. I have more supervised hours than I realized, as well as Utah requires LPC's to take 2 tests, in addition to the NCE that I just passed. I'm looking at a lot more studying and a lot more $. Blah. Maybe I should've pursued my LCSW, or maybe I should use my 2nd degree instead? No, I love the work I do. I guess I just have to settle with VERY little money and working forever to get credit for the work I do. HA!
