Special Times...

I love this time of year deemed the "Holidays!" I unfortunately forgot my camera when we went down to Nephi/Sanpete for Thanksgiving. We had a great time. We came back Friday morning and missed the traditional christmas tree cutting, but Jesse and I were able to go and see "The Forgotten Carols" and it was so amazing. I think it is also going to have to become a tradition. Earlier friday when we were getting our christmas decorations out I was having a hard time feeling very christmasy. It has been quite warm outside (i am not complaining) and I don't know, just busy I guess and a little stressful, but I was having a hard time getting that feeling until we went to the "forgotten carols" and now I have it in spades! We are all doing great! The kids are just finishing up a round of antibiotics that they needed for some nasty colds that have hung around for weeks. They are doing much better now and love all the fun christmas decorations around the house. It is "no test week" for jesse at school (meaning the week before finals) and then my amazing husband will officially have his bachelors degree. Then we start right into the Master's Program in january. We really will be done with school by this time next year. I think that the Masters degree and all the options and "job security" that it offers will be worth one more year of school. We have seriously been considering buying a house the last couple weeks. We even have one that we would really really like to buy. But after a lot of thought, talking, prayer and more thought we don't feel that it is a feasible thing for us right now. I am sad, becuase I really want the house. But we have some time still and it will happen when it is right. Anyway, that is a little update on our family right before this amazing yet crazy season decends upon us. I will try to keep posting a little better. Love you all!

Chelc,

It's good to hear from you! What a beautiful family you have! I'm so happy for you! Things are going well. I'm loving my job and spending time with my family. I'm up in Logan quite often (Kristin and her fam live there), so maybe we should get together sometime. Have a wonderful holiday season, and take care.
Love,
Michelle
