Quick Update

The holidays are generally a busy time of year. This year feels a bit busier than usual and a bit busier than I like. So that is my excuse for slacking off on the blogging. So much to blog about, no time or energy left to do it:).

We had the chance to visit my family the weekend before Thanksgiving and then we visited Brad's family over Thanksgiving. We had a great time at both places. Lots of good food and great company. And we got to see a movie at each place: in I.F. we saw New Moon (I thought it was great) and in Logan we saw Blind Side (this is a good show, I recommend it).

Brad's been busy finishing up the semester, preparing for the GRE, working, and getting ready for the ward Christmas party. And I've been busy with various church, work, friend, wife obligations. I won't bore you with all the details:). Just a few. We had fun going to another Jazz game last week. I love sitting up in the suite and eating and talking with co-workers, etc. It's a definite perk of this job. Otherwise I don't think we'd make it to any Jazz games. Plus our future boss was there so it was good to meet him (he'll be joining us next week and we're looking forward to the extra support and help). Another highlight last week was singing in the chorus in a program for the Relief Society Christmas dinner. I also helped throw a baby shower, despite the fact that the mother had the baby the previous evening. It worked out alright. Last but not least we had Stake Conference last weekend which is always inspiring. I got to sing with the Stake Choir during the Sunday session.

This weekend is the ward Christmas party so hopefully all goes well with that. Then for me, dress rehearsal and a couple of performances this weekend with the Stake choir of "Sing Noel". The conductor is great and she has us singing some really nice songs so this should be a good experience.


Here's a couple of pictures from our trip to Idaho (sorry, none of Brad...he wasn't around during the photo shoot)...

I'll try to be more motivated and keep up with the blog better so that my posts aren't so boring:) Hope you are all having a nice holiday season!!!
