                  Christmas 2014

                   So Christmas this year was awesome. Yes, I had to work on Christmas Eve, as well as the day after Christmas, so that made it seem like it just flew by, but Christmas was great and relaxing. I loved it.

                  We got SNOW!!! So gorgeous!



                  We stayed up the night before watching Christmas movies, and me playing my new Xbox game Fantasia while Greg played his computer. We went to bed around 11. We’re way too old to be partying all night long. We woke up around 8-ish the next morning and just chilled. We watched movies, played on our computers, ate food, etc. We opened presents which is always fun. I never know what Greg is going to get me, and I never know what to get Greg. I thought I did okay this year with what I got him though.

                  I got him a lot of the dri-fit shirts, which are his favorite, and a Wyoming Cowboys hoodie. I also got him some Dallas Cowboys office stuff, along with a Cowboys and Miami Heat gnome. I’m sure he loved it!

                  This is Tony....Tony Gnome-o
                   
                  He got me a bracelet and charms to go on it. It was a total surprise, but I loved it. Of course each of the charms were wrapped separately which made it all the more fun. It’s funny, because the bracelet he got me was similar to the Pandora bracelets. One of my co-workers wqs trying to decide what to get his girlfriend for Christmas, and her friend told him that she wanted a Pandora bracelet, which got us all talking about them, and one of my co-workers told us how much he absolutely hates them. So I got a good laugh when I opened it, and then when I told my co-workers what I got. I love it though. Greg also got me some shampoo & conditioner dispensers and a new brush.

                  This is the bracelet without the filler beads. There is a volleyball, "Together Forever", I Love my Husband, my birthstone, Family, and a basketball. The first one I opened was the "Together Forever" charm. Made me happy to think that maybe after being together for 10 years, he does want to be with me forever! ;)
                  I'll post the finished bracelets later.

                  It really was a fun, relaxing day, and I didn’t want it to ever end. Unfortunately it did, and it was back to work the next day. 

                  New Year's Eve was nice too. I, of course, had to work again the day before and after, but Greg & I were able to make it up to midnight then we went right to bed.  

                  One Direction were on the New Years countdown show. Woot woot!


                  Our celebratory drinks...



                  I was really quite sad to say goodbye to 2014. It was a very hard, yet very amazing year. Hopefully 2015 will be just as amazing!

                  November Updates

                  So November came and went. I started the month by teaching in Relief Society on being 'Grateful in Any Circumstance' based off of Elder Uchtdorf's conference talk. Always fun teaching Relief Society...Always...

                  Our Halloween lights stayed up for a few weeks into November, and Greg found this awesome massive leaf. It's pretty rad.




                  I've got some pretty awesome friends. My friend Melanie invited us over for dinner one night, but Greg wasn't feeling well and we didn't want to get her kids sick, so she offered to bring us dinner. It was so delicious. I told her I'm going to hire her to just make extra food for Greg & I when she cooks for her family. 

                  My sister, Kandyce had her baby on the 4th of November. She is just the cutest thing ever. Myka Jade




                  State Volleyball happened. I'll write more about it on my Sclero blog, but they did AMAZING and won their 4th straight state championship title. It was so excited, and I'm so happy for my dad and those amazing girls.


                  We FINALLY got a little bit of snow...FINALLY!

                  So Steve got a package in the mail but forgot to grab it before going to lunch. Lucky for him we sent him on a scavenger hunt to find it. Unfortunately he got stuck on the last clue which was to give his "mini-me" a hug. To quote Steve, he said, "Hell no!" Guess he won't be getting his package after all....

                  Kennan played his last year of football in the freezing temperatures in Laramie, Wyoming for the 1A state championship. I didn't realize it was being broadcast via radio, so I was on twitter watching it. They did awesome and won, and Kennan even had an interception. I'm super excited for him.


                  One Direction came out with a new CD. It rocks my world!

                  Panda Express has become our new favorite place to eat....Their Orange Chicken is super yum!


                  One Direction also came out with a new music video. Its pretty much my favorite. They are so adorable.

                  Thanksgiving was wonderfully relaxing. We cooked our big turkey dinner and watched football. I love days off in the middle of the week. Unfortunately, I did have to go back to work the next day.


                  One of my favorite things to do during that month of November was sit on my front porch when it was cold and dark out. Weird, I know, but it was relaxing.

                  More Catch-up Randomness

                  One would think it would be a lot easier to blog the current and then blog the catch-up posts, but I can't do it. Maybe it's OCD, but I have to go in order. Sorry. It sucks for you, especially since nothing really exciting happens in my life. But here goes.

                  I actually convinced Greg to go with me to take 'family' pictures. I asked a lady in my ward who is just getting into photography if she would do them, and she was awesome and said yes. Greg said we had 30 minutes, and not counting driving time, we got it done. We went up to Second Dam where it was a gorgeous fall day.


                  Of course I can't post the pictures yet, because I really am working on Christmas/New Years cards that will have them on it, and I don't want to ruin the surprise at how awesome we looked.



                  Funny story. At sacrament meeting one Sunday, a member of the bishopric stood up and was doing the announcements. Well, he misread one of them and said, "Primary Program, Please be sure your kids are WEARING their PANTS." It was quite funny. The best part, he really thought that's what it said, even after when Greg was teasing him about it.

                  It has been an absolutely gorgeous fall. It was so warm. It was really strange, but kind of nice to not have to bundle up in October, November, and December.

                  This is totally random, but they re-did the carpet at work...on a Saturday...while Donna and I had to work. The smell of the glue totally gave us both headaches. But if you had seen what the carpet was like before this, you would be as happy as we were to have the carpet replaced. We're talking big holes that had to be taped over. It was bad. We just wish that they had let us have the day off so we didn't have to deal with the smell and noise.

                  And then they put glue in front of the vault room door, so they had to make a path for us to get in...

                  After work Greg and I were headed to Star Valley to get the brakes replaced on our car....or something. I can't remember. Maybe it was something else. All I know is that when you put the brake pads on the wrong side, it will result in squeaking.



                  It was seriously so pretty. I felt like it should have been summer, and we should have been in a convertible with the top down.

                  But then it rained, and it was absolutely beautiful.


                  And this is the result of not showering or doing your hair. I look great!

                  As I mentioned in a previous post, I opened an etsy shop, and it really kind of took off. I was really nervous at first, but when I would get comments like this, it made it all worth it!

                  Sometimes we go to Kneader's for our morning meetings. Sometimes we get in big arguments, other times I stay quiet so we can all enjoy it. :)

                  And sometimes life is just hard.

                  And then you see this etched into the women's bathroom (for whatever reason?) and you make funny jokes about it that could potentially get you fired, but then you're glad your co-workers have a sense of humor.

                  I really REALLy dislike Halloween, however, it is one day that we can wear jeans, so I try to base my costume around whwat I can wear with jeans. I decided this year to come as a one direction fan.

                  I am so cool, I know!

                  We had like 3 groups of kids show up trick-or-treating. Kind of sad. Stupid Trunk or Treats!
                   
                  And that brings us to the end of October!
