4-H Mentoring

Rich and I have been mentors for 4-H since October. We love it. I meet with Alicia, and Rich meets with Dylan. Dylan and Alicia are siblings. I love 4-H. I was involved in 4-H when I was younger (horse shows, drawing, etc) and I think it is a great program, so it has been fun to get involved again. They have awesome activities. A few weeks ago, we went up to SLC with a big 4-H group and saw James and the Giant Peach. It was super fun. I love meeting with Alicia. She is so artistic, so I am learning a lot from her. K well that is all. Bye!

Jazzy Clothes

Rich is so cute. He hates shopping, but he will go with me because he loves me and because he knows that he is my favorite shopping buddy. Usually Rich has no strong preference when I ask for his opinion. His only "strong" remark is "Hmm... I don't know. I don't really like it that much." or "Ya I like it." Normally he just finds a seat and plays on his phone while I shop. BUT today, he came and found me and he was carrying a Utah Jazz shirt. "You need to get this shirt-It's awesome," he said. It was more than I would've spent for a sportsy-shirt, but he carried it with him as I continued to shop. I found some cute jeans that I really wanted, so I said, "well, maybe I just won't get the Jazz shirt". I didn't think Rich would persist on it because he doesn't care about clothes. He obviously cared about that Jazz shirt because I found him later, and he had bought the shirt for me. It was really funny. We ended up getting him one too, and I got my jeans. Boys are funny. I love that he got involved in the shopping--even if it revolved around the jazz shirts.

Finally!

Rich and I finally got to go snowboarding/skiing together! I was soooo happy. We have been pretty broke and busy because of school and having a job that should pay more, but we finally made it to Sundance. It was nothing compared to Snowbird, but it was a lot cheaper. However, it was way better than Buck Hill. Haha. It was so much fun. I love being up in the mountains. It is so gorgeous up there. Rich kept hitting the moguls which was a definite NO for snowboarders, but it was fun watching him speed down them like a crazy kid. Always wear helmets. :) I am still working on my 360. I loved snowboarding and am so happy we finally got to go. If we are near mountains next winter, we are getting season passes for sure. Bye!

AwesomE

YAY!!! Rich and I finally got to go see Mickey in Idaho. This is his final season playing hockey, so we went to see him play. There were two awesome things that happened. The first thing was that everyone prayed before the game started. I loved that. It was so cool to see these big hockey players all praying together. The second awesome thing was that Mike got put in the penalty box. That was pretty funny and awesome. K well I hope you enjoy the picture. It was so cool to be there and watch Mike play. He is the coolest brother. I love him. He's probably not ever going to read this, so I'll just say that I am so lucky to have him as an older brother. He is an awesome person.

SiSterS

I love my sisters. We are all so different from each other, but I love that about us. I love how Amy is the amazing chef, and I am the sports one, and Laura is the amazing clogger, and Ashley is the amazing pianist, and Michelle is the amazing singer, and Kristy is the amazing entertainer and the baby of the family. We are all different, but then so similiar. It's crazy. I love going home because we know what we are thinking without even saying a word, and we all love talking about the same things, or we at least enjoy hearing each other talk about things, so it is great! I think it is because we are all random versions of my mommy. I love her too.

Merry Christmas!

I LOVE being married and I LOVE Christmas, so this is a fabulous time for me! Rach took pics of Rich and I. I LOVE them. We leave for MN Thursday night, and I can't wait! I LOVE everything about the holidays except for my chemistry final on Wednesday...OH WELL, Merry Christmas!


Oh baby! :)

iCE SKATiNG

In MinnesoOoOoda, babies learn how to skate before they can walk, so naturally I grew up taking ice skating lessons and thinking Tara Lapinski was the most amazing person in the world. I loved it until I turned about thirteen and decided it wasn't cool anymore, but I am over that phase now, and I love it again. Rich and I gotta go skating with his fam and it was so much fun! However, UT ice skating sucks. It sucks because there are millions of people on the ice. It also sucks because they only have one indoor ice rink in UT. Minnesota people would be apalled and shocked. FACT: In MN, every town with a population of 100 has at AT LEAST two out door ice rinks. When a town is about 5,000, that requires two indoor ice rinks AND at least ten or fifty out door ice rinks. UT has 1 indoor ice rink. Sucky. It also sucks because people don't know how to skate here. Bad skaters + crowded rink=DANGER.

Despite the danger, it was still way fun. Rich continues to amaze me with his roller and ice skating skills. He catches on pretty well and was almost cruisin' as sweetly as me. :-) I love ice skating regardless of the rink, BUT I am definitely excited to go skating at MN's high-class, professional skaters only, wonderful, non-crowded and MAGiCAL iCE RiNKS. Sucks for UT.



Rich is skilled and scary.

Ta-da!

Kelly was a pretty amazing skater too! He could do backward crossovers! Daniel (Rich's little brother) is definitely following in their steps. He rocked!

Ya for us! While we were taking this picture, a guy ran right into my skate. No joke! UT skaters...


Straight up divas.
