I realize...

...that I haven't done much blogging lately. I just haven't been able to find the motivation within me to do it. But, I promise, I will work on getting you all caught up on our fabulous life.


Last I posted I had just graduated. I can't say that being done with college feels any more real today than it felt the day I wrote my last post. Even though BYU is back in session, it hasn't really sunk in that I'm done. Still feels weird saying it. But, I am. Done.


Besides being graduated, life is fabulous. Christmas was amazing. Christmas started here in Provo. Because of Josh's work schedule, we spent our first Christmas, just the two of us, here in Provo. Josh claims that I left him for Christmas but I didn't. I left the day after Christmas. But our Christmas together was fabulous. 


We each opened something small on Christmas Eve night after a trip to the River Woods. The River Woods are a an outdoor mall in Provo. They decorated the place with tons of lights and so we walked around, stood by the fire and enjoyed the brisk weather.

On Christmas morning we went to church and then came home to call the families. We got to Skype Josh's family for a little bit which was a lot of fun. And we called my mom and my siblings to wish them all a Merry Christmas too. It was a fun morning. After talking to family we opened our gifts. We got each other one gift and then filled each other's stockings. My big gift from Josh was a cashmere scarf from Gap. It's huge, warm, soft and I love it. He got a video game. Lame on my part, I know, but it's what he wanted. :) But we also got a bunch of fun things in our stockings and we wrapped everything in our stockings so it felt like we were opening more things! So we actually had a lot of fun.

For Christmas dinner we made a pork roast, mashed potatoes, green beans and rolls. It was delicious. Josh isn't a big fan of ham so we went for the less traditional route, but arguably more delicious one. Our roast was yummy.

Being together was the most important thing on Christmas and while we both had a hard time being away from family, we really enjoyed spending our day together.
