A few updates

I know I have been so horrible at updating lately and it doesn't make it any better that I have a ton to say cause it just makes me not want to update at all!! ANYWAY-
I never posted about our anniversary trip. We were planning to go to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico but in the wonderful world of standby flying we couldn't even make the flight to LA! So on the turn of a dime Jason and I decided to head down to the Button cabin and spend the night then drive down to Mesa Verde and back to Salt Lake the next day. We then flew to Seattle and spent three days there. It was short but a blast. Jason served his mission there so he showed me some of the places he served and introduced me to a couple he taught the gospel to! (their friends are the ones who baptized them). While there we were able to see Mt. Rainier and Mt. St. Helens. Washington state is so beautiful and green I love it!

About a week later, Jason had to go down to Phoenix for a week to conduct some trainings for his job so I tagged along with him. The trip was pretty much free, we just had to pay for my food cause everything else was covered by Discover Card. It was the week before Thanksgiving and it was 80 degrees! So nice! I just got to be lazy and do as I please while Jason worked and then we would go out to dinner. We even ate at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse, it was pretty good but I don't feel very comfortable in those fancy restaurants.

The next week was the week of Thanksgiving and my cute sister along with her cute family drove from Omaha, NE to be with the fam. So it was a crazy week trying to steal time with her cause EVERYONE wants to be with them while there here and there is just never enough time. They just need to move back to SLC when Jared is done with Oral Surgery. This year we had Thanksgiving at my sister Natalie's house and it turned out really well. We had lots of yummy food and just enjoyed each other's company. We also went out to our Thanksgiving movie and saw James Bond. It was good but I like Casino Royale a lot better.

Now we are into December and not much has happened except the fact that we had fabulous weather until last week when it started snowing. Don't get me wrong I absolutely love the snow, but remember I work outside and with planes which means there are delayed flights and long nights for me. I actually don't mind working out in the snow cause of all the layers I can put on, it just makes it hard to jump in and out of the airplane when you can't really move. I always feel like the kid on "A Christmas Story"..... "I can't put my arms down!" If you don't know what I'm talking about, it's about time you watch that movie again.

Well that is about it for now. I will try to get a little slide show of pictures of the above mentioned but I wouldn't hold your breath cause it might take me a few days and I don't want to be responsible for anyone passing out!
