The Holiday Season!
I can't believe it's been almost a month since I last posted!
I wanted to write today and record the fun times we have had these last few weeks.
In follow up to my last post- we were able to get together with our friends from the courts and my brother in-law plus his date. We had so much fun! We went to my in-laws and made homemade pizza and baggie icecream. The whole time we talked and laughed. It was a good time with good food and good company.
Thanksgiving was so wonderful and not just because we were in Kauai. Ok...maybe that is why! The words that describe the time we spent there are: green! warm, humid, driving, sunning, splashing, kayaking, hiking,napping, reading,eating,looking, enjoying, playing, relaxing,participating,making memories!
I really was amazed at how green everything is- I was even more so when we came home and witnessed the contrast! We woke every morning to the crow of a rooster, at least he sure did try to wake us up every morning : ) Then the days schedule varied but mostly we played in the ocean and worked on our tans. It was so fun to be there with everyone, it made the trip whole, a good family vacation. We also shopped and went on a fun little adventure in the rain forest. Kayaking against the river flow isn't something I suggest, or not wearing bug spray in the rain forest. The trees were beautiful though and the waterfall we hiked to was as well.
Other memories-
One of Chad's good friends and his wife took a break from BYU Hawaii to be with us for Thanksgiving and that was wonderful! Theyre great friends and it was fun to catch up and spend time with them! We're excited to have them back in SLC later this month!
We finally bought Chad a new pair of sunglasses, I think his last pair broke in July.
I read the three books of the Inheritance Cycle - definately fun books to read, and they move pretty quickly which is nice, thanks kate!
We saw a big ol seal at a beach in Poipu, and sea turtles at the spouting horn!
We had a wonderful time and we're already getting back into the swing of things and prepping for the Christmas season! The only dilemna we're facing is that we can't find our Christmas decorations! ... they'll show up sooner or later : )
Happy Holidays!

New Friends
About a month and a half ago, one of my and my brother in-laws friends told us that he knew a couple that was moving into our court!
Turns out that he taught the husband while on his mission. And that's where they became good friends and then they moved out here! We introduced ourselves and since then we've been talking and doing things almost every week. They're a cute couple, and they are a lot of fun to have around and we are loving getting to know them.
I have really enjoyed getting to know our new friends especially the wife. She is a super sweet girl! She's from England and has an adorable accent, she is staying at home till she gets a job so when I'm home all day on Tuesdays and Thursdays we've been able to do things and talk. Last week we had lunch and it was so fun to sit and talk and get to know about each other! New friends are so fun!
Other fun things that we are doing...
we're trying to organize a friend get together with another couple in our ward. We found out that we have a fun connection in that our brother (my in-law) and the girl he's dating are their good friends. It's been fun trying to find a night that coordinates with all our schedules, and when it finally does happen(maybe on Friday) I know we're going to have so much fun!
we're going to a musical at hale center theater with my "other" family and I am going to the premier of Twilight with my sisters next week. Both exciting events!
next saturday we leave for thanksgiving vacation in hawaii! I'm excited to go for my first time and to be in hot weather again!
we're expanding our meal selection. Every week I'm trying to make
something we havn't made before. I'm taking from the recipes that we got from our wedding and any suggestions...
I am listening to Christmas music on the radio!
We hope all is well with you and yours! Thanks again for checking in on us!
