Relaxing

Last night we went and saw a production of Fiddler on the Roof done by the Kimberly Stake. We saw it in the CSI auditorium. They had an orchestra pit and a great actor playing the part of Tevye. He even sounded remarkably like him! The main reason we went is to see my Uncle Garth (dad's brother) play the part of Lazar Wolf. He was great too! It was awesome to realize I come from such talented families :) We are super excited to be in Boise for Thanksgiving and are realizing each day the more things that we have to be grateful for! We are so blessed! Today we are just relaxing the day away. We have set up all our Christmas decor as far as our tree and house lights. We are blessed to get to host, along with Amy and Brett, the Packham family Christmas this year! We are so excited to have everyone here and to be celebrating the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Don't forget everyone, the Christmas Devotional is the first Sunday of December so be sure to tune in! I love feeling the special messages of our leaders, especially during the coldest and possibly most dreary time of the year with all the snow and ice. I love it!

Birthday

November 12th was my 22nd birthday! It is weird to now be as old as Andrew was when we married! I want to thank all of you who sent your birthday wishes my way. I am so blessed to be surrounded by such wonderful people. Andrew took me to go get a massage and dinner for my present. It was amazing! Thank you Honey :)

First Snowfall!

On November 10, 2010, the first snow fell in our little city! It was so crazy and now as I type this there is 1-2 in. of snow on the ground outside!

October Cont...

On the 30th of October we participated in the "Great Pumpkin 5k" at CSI. We did it with Amy and Brett, my parents (Joel and Marie), and my cousin Andrew Martin showed up unexpectedly. Andrew and I walked with my dad and Amy. We also had Sariah and Renetta. My mom and Brett ran together and my cousin Andrew M. ran too! He placed 5th(I think) overall, and 2nd in his age division! Way to go cousin! My mom got third in her age division(I think), and we walkers finished just under 50 minutes. It was so much fun to be out and about. We took a ton of great pictures and had a blast being with family. It was pretty cold, but when we finished the students in the culinary arts program had hot chili and cornbread waiting for us. Delicious! I'm so thankful for days that you can enjoy and look back on and smile. We had so much fun and will hopefully be participating in the run next year! :)

Halloween!

Sorry we haven't posted in in months... so here are October's main events. We went to our ward party and helped with trunk or treat for the Primary. We also brought carved pumpkins for center pieces and some corn bread to go with all the chili. Yummy! We both dressed up. I was an army gal and Andrew was the infamous Mr. Monopoly. We had such a great time and took lots of pictures:)
