Just NOT My Cup Of Tea...

So as many of you know I have been working as a Dental Assistant for about 4 1/2 years. I have only been working 3 days a week and have really enjoyed myself. It worked perfect with me going to school and having a part time job. On my days off I would go to the gym, clean my house, do homework, and attend the spa on occasion (by far my favorite thing)!! Needless to say the Doctor that I work for decided he wanted to buy another office and take me with him to start it up.... So you guessed it I'm now working 5 days a week. Let me just tell you I have NEVER worked 5 days a week in my whole life! So after the first week was over, I got home from work and I must have looked tired or something, because Thomas comes in and asked me what happen to you? The only response I had was "This working 5 days a week is just not my cup of tea!!" He probably laughed for about 10 minutes, and had no sympathy for me at all. The only thing he said was "welcome to the real world dear!!" And then proceed to laugh! I have now adjusted to this working 5 days a week, but my house is now a mess everyday, and dinner sometimes doesn't get cooked. But at least I'm staying on top of my 14 credit hours!

SISTER SISTER

So I have officially decided that I have the greatest sister's and mother in the world... This is just a little shout out to all my sisters, mom and sister in-law! I love every one of them like words cannot describe! We all have so much fun when we are together... even if it is just sitting around mom's house talking about nothing. I have realized since I have moved away how much each one of these amazing women have influenced my life in one way or another. It's hard for me to live away from all of them and I know Jennifer can relate! So I would like to thank every one of you guys... YOU'RE AWESOME!!! SISTER POWER!!!! 

So I'm finally going back to school after taking two semesters off! Last semester I was very sad when everyone was starting up school and I wasn't... It seriously made me sad. But now I am officially and Aggie! I have wanted to go to Utah State for a very long time and I'm finally doing it! I'm actually at there extension program in Salt Lake this semester and next semester I'll either be in Logan or Tooele... I'm not sure which one yet. I will be applying for the Elementary Education program in March, and will hopefully get in next semester. If so then I will only have 3 semester until I'm done!!! YES I can't wait!!! 

Thomas will be attending the U this semester to finish up his mechanical engineering degree! He is almost done as well. He has about three semester left!  I think he is excited, and a little stressed out. I know he just wants to get it done and over with. So for these next few months both of us will be pretty busy with school. 

 Pre Christmas 

A few days before we took off to Idaho we did Christmas with Thomas family. It was great. Thomas's parents gave a folding table with 4 chairs along with a 6' table! I have been wanting both of these for a long time. His parents also gave us WICKED tickets!!! I'm so very excited for this I have wanted to see this for a very long time so thanks to Clay and Belinda. We also got the board game Ticket to Ride form Ryan and Shelli. If you haven't ever played this game, you should because it's great! Thanks guys!!! (I didn't take my camera this night so sorry there's no pictures)

Idaho Christmas 

For our first Christmas together Thomas and I were able to spend the holiday's in Idaho with my family. We really enjoyed ourselves other than the freezing cold weather. Thomas went hunting almost every morning and then we just spent time with my family, playing games, watching movies, and tried to stay warm. 

On Christmas Eve we had a way good dinner, and then opened presents, played chimes, and had our talent show. On Christmas Day we got up, opened presents, and then tried to go around to all of my siblings houses, but we got stuck in two driveways not to mention that my dad got the big tractor stuck at one point, so we didn't make it to everyones that day, but made the rounds on a different day. 

Thomas opening his presents form me! He got a hunting bag thing... To hold his shells and get himself organized. 

I love Christmas morning shots... Thomas is a great husband... he got me a CRICUT!!! I have wanted one of these forever!!! 

Here are my parents opening their gifts that we all of us gave them. We gave them a digital picture frame, and a scrapbook that I made form our big trip!!! We loaded all of our pictures on their frame, I think they liked it! 

Here is Thomas with the stuff Santa left him... apparently he was a good boy this year!

This is when we first woke up! With everyone downstairs checking out what Santa left us! 

Here is Thomas opening his present from Greg on Christmas Eve it was a way cute sweater! Thomas loves it Greg thanks!!!
