Temple Square

Last Sunday, we went to Temple Square to look at the lights. Our favorite things to see, however, were the nativities they've started putting up. There are nativities from different countries, but they didn't say where each one was from. We got pictures with an Asian one (Tim's favorite), one from somewhere in South America, and my favorite, the Alaskan one! To anyone who hasn't been to Temple Square in Salt Lake City, check out this website: www.mormon.org.

Christmas Time!

Here are the much anticipated pictures of our apartment decorated for Christmas. We strung popcorn and cranberries for the tree and I made gingerbread ornaments- Tim likes eating the ones that break. We also got a new nativity, and Tim's dad got him a track that goes around the tree for his train. It was a lot of work to get everything done, but it's been fun!

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas!

Here is the view from our back porch today...

It's kind of fun right now, but I think after Christmas I'll want to be back in St. George...or even Georgia.

Nieces, Nephews, and Ducks, Oh My!

We spent Thanksgiving down in St. George with my family this year. I had a great time with my cute nieces, Kate and Makayla, and Will, my chunky nephew. I even got to take Makayla to feed the ducks at the golf course, but we left when they came out of the water towards us (even though Makayla wasn't as scared as me). We had a great weekend seeing movies, family, and eating lots of food!

Happy Birthday Tim!

Last Friday (Nov. 9th) was Tim's 25th birthday. I replaced his old Braves hat (which he lost), got him some drill bits, a razor knife, and a nice light jacket. His parents got him pretty much everything else in the pictures (the cool treats are thanks to Aubrey). Thanks everyone for your cards and gifts!

Fall Crafts

I am trying to be crafty (or was before I started working 60 hours a week). Here is my homemade fall wreath...

Poor Car

This is it. I think I'm going to either put my car up for sale or let someone pay us to tow it. My car has had trouble starting due to the distributer, and the clutch will be going soon (I have been told), so it is time to say goodbye. :(
It has been a great car for me since I was 16 and had to practice driving to cross country practice at 6 am to get used to a stick shift without much traffic. This little Honda Civic has traveled with me from the far reaches of Hurricane, Utah (the farthest I ever dared drive in high school), and up to Provo (never back to St. George again-I didn't know if it would make it) to get me through four years of college. I got the car from my neighbors, the Grays, who drove it for a company refilling quarter machines, and sold it to me for a deal. If anyone is interested in purchasing this beauty, let me know; I'll even throw the sheepskin seat covers in!
