It's the most wonderful time of the year........

We had our official welcome to Utah... SNOW! It started snowing on Friday night and snowed most of the day on Saturday. I would guess there was probably about 8" of snow. It was beautiful. This picture was what it looked like when I went out to church today. The trees in our neighborhood are so big, they were loaded with snow, and it looked like a winter wonderland. Kent had to go buy a snow shovel yesterday. This is new for us. He bought a little one for the kids, and they loved it. Kent said that they were actually pretty good help. Sad thing, I didn't get any pictures of the kids in the snow. ARRGH!

We decorated for Christmas yesterday, and had fun. We didn't out all of the decorations out, but it is good enough. Our living room is pretty small to put too much out. It is fun anyways, and the kids were happy. I love this time of year. It is so fun to watch the anticipation in the kids. They are starting to think about what they want to ask Santa for. McCray told me he wanted toy weapons today. Great. I am not sure that Santa even makes those.... We have our ward party next Saturday and Santa is going to be there, so they have to think of what they want pretty soon. :)

I survived my first week of work. I have to admit, it started out pretty rough, but it was ok by the end of the week. It was pretty shocking at first. I guess I haven't been out in the real world for quite awhile. I think I will survive, and hope that it won't last forever. The actual work part of it isn't bad at all.

The Party is Over

Wow, where has November gone. It must have been whirlwind month because I can't seem to remember why I was so busy. This past week has been so fun, and now the party is over and it is back to life. All of my brothers and sisters, their families and my parents were here for Thanksgiving. We had such a nice time. The kids had a ball playing with their cousins. It is so nice when they get to the age that they just play and play and you hardly even see them. We have a playroom downstairs and the kids played down there, which made it easier to visit upstairs. We had Thanksgiving dinner at my sister and brother in laws, and it was AMAZING. Think of the best food ever, and multiply that by 5! My favorite was the stuffing. WOW! It was really nice. Our kids had colds and I am afraid we gave them to the whole family. A parting gift, I guess you could say. Sorry everyone. I love my family so much. It is so nice to be together and just talk, laugh and do whatever else we can find to do. Lindsay and I even braved a couple of early Friday morning sales. We went to the fabric store and boy, I have never seen so many flannel hoarders in my life. Thankfully we were just able to buy a bolt of fabric, didn't have to wait in line to get it cut, and we were out of there. WHEW! Seriously, we could have been there for 5 hours waiting in the cutting line. We also braved Roberts crafts, and that wasn't bad at all. It was fun to brave it together. Thanks to all of you guys for coming. It was so nice to have you here!

I started a new job last night. I am working at a job called myanswering.com. I am a "receptionist." Basically I am a receptionist for lots of different companies. When a call comes in, the company pops up on the computer, and there is a script so you know what to say and how to answer the peoples questions. Interesting. I am working M,T,TH,F nights for 5 hours and probably every other Sat . I started training last night. There was 3 of us there, and it was pretty dead. I just listened in with another girl. Let me just say, I am grateful that I won't have to have jobs like this forever. The people I work with were nice and well.. interesting. I hate to say it, but kind of what you would expect when you work for $8.00 and hour. I guess the bright side is they are entertaining? There are not many calls that come in at these times, so I think that I will be able to bring a project in or something to keep me sane while there is nothing to do. We'll see how it progresses. Let the adventures begin.
