Okay, so I am officially a horrible blogger. January is almost over and I haven't written anything since November. I'll try harder. I have a little bit of an excuse- the past couple months have been so busy for us! In a good way. Spending the holidays with my new husband was wonderful! We were in Denver for a big, crazy Thanksgiving, and then back again for Christmas. My Nanny and Dano came up from St. George to spend Christmas with us, which was fun. We all went out to dinner on Christmas Eve at Outback Steakhouse (family tradition), and spent all day Christmas hanging out in our matching pajamas playing xbox and wii. The weekend involved lots of eating and shopping- always a winning combination! We also got to celebrate Christmas twice with Steve's side of the family, once at the big family Christmas party in December, and then again when we got back from Denver and got to go eat dinner and open presents with Steve's parents. What a great way to make the holidays last! Steve and I also ha
d people over to our house for a little Christmas get-together, we all went and saw the lights at Temple Square, and then came back to our house for soup and Rock Band. It was really fun to have all our friends come to our house to celebrate the season. For New Year's Eve, we went to a party at Tucanos with my cousin Vicki and her husband Mike. We ate a big Brazilian buffet and then danced in the new year. We were unaware when we bought our tickets that this party was a predominanty ethnic event. Most of the music was in Portuguese, and everyone there seemed to know line dances to all the songs. We felt a little silly, but it was still fun to get dressed up and go out with our friends.

My very smart husband got his LSAT scores back right after 
Christmas, and this month has been a crazy blur of getting law school applications sent out. They are FINALLY done, as of this week, and now we just have to wait. He applied to a big variety of schools all over the country, so I really have no idea where we might end up. There are things that would be cool about every place he applied, so it will be a very tough choice when it comes down to picking one. I know I could drive myself crazy thinking about it the next couple of months while we wait for acceptances, so I will try not to worry, because I know wherever we go it will be great.

Luckily I've had some distractions. I'm just finishing Week 4 of my fitness bootcamp. I've been 
getting up at 5 every morning and going to this really intense fitness class to try and get back in shape after the holidays. It has been so hard to get up so early and push myself physically harder than I ever have, but it feels really good that I've made it through! Steve and I want to start our own at plan at home once I'm finished with this to keep the good results going. And my most exciting news is that last week Steve and I booked tickets to go to Europe this Spring! We're leaving right after his graduation in May, and I am so, so excited! It will be the perfect way to celebrate his graduation, and planning the trip will be a great way to keep our minds off waiting to hear back from law schools. Sometimes it's hard for me to believe how wonderful my life is.... I really have everything I could ever want, and more, and I just feel so thankful and happy every day.

Oh, one last thing, I never posted all the cute pictures that my friend Kristin took of Steve and Snoopi and I for our Christmas cards! She did such a good job, so you can click HERE if you want to see how adorable we are ;)
