Christmas in Review....

So as it usually happens I have a spare half an hour in between my classes, and I have run out of facebook activities and homework to do so I thought I would write a little bloggy blog, and also Courtney is probably going to yell at me again next time I see her if i don't :).

Christmas was GREAT so much fun being home, I only went for 5 days but it was still fun to see everyone. Aubrey and Andrew (my sister and her hubby) came with my nephew Ethan, I brought Brandon for a day, and my long lost brother Ryan and his fiance (now wife) Christina came from Germany!


They ended up getting married here too, which was very interesting but it was just nice to see them. I don't care what issues a family may have, in the end you're family and you just need to put it in the past and realize you need and always love your family. Anyways so being home was fun, all we did was play rock band all day. Me usually on the drums, Christy on guitar, and Aubrey or Cody singing, and then everyone joins in for a rousing number of "Livin on a Prayer". We pretty much have a family band forming, i'll keep you updated on tour dates.


After Christmas I had to be back at work so Brandon and I drove back to Provo. New Years was just okay. I always have such high expectations for New Years and it's always just O.K. I can't complain though, we just went to a friend's house and watched some fireworks, then went to another friends house to visit. Welcome 2009!

Since then school has started and i went into it thinking it was going to be an easy semester because i only have class from 10 to 4 on Tuesday and Thursdays, but little did I know what I was in store for! Apparently we are back in high school and we actually have to ATTEND class, what college professor takes attendance? Apparently all of mine. Oh and it's my second day of school today and i have to give 2 presentations already. I also already read a chapter and took a quiz, and read a news article to talk about in class. So this semester is not going to be the piece of cake i imagined.
Work is going pretty good too, we are getting ready for inventory which is always a blast (sarcasm) where we go around and scan every item we have. We are also going to be switching 2 sections in the store entirely so that is going to be a BIG change, but it will be good once everything slows down i think. Well I have to get ready to give my presentation in my next class but I will upload pictures when I get home tonight! Happy New Year!

Romeo loved his santa outfit! Okay actually he hated it. But how CUTE!

Family christmas songs around the piano? Put a crease in us and call us Hallmark.

Cat in a bag! (This may seem cruel but he loved it!)
