A little catch up

Okay, I figured 3 months is long enough to wait to update everyone on our lives, right? So here's what's been going.

WARNING: Extremely long post

November
All I can remember for the month was Thanksgiving. It was a great one! Almost my whole family was here for it. My sister and her fam drove all the way from Texas and my parents traveled from CA. We spent the day at my grandparents (like always) and devoured some delicious, mouth watering food.

December
My brother-in-law flew in from Austrailia to spend the last of the holidays with all of his family (we're all here in P town). It was great to see him again and loved seeing him with Mr. E. they become great little buddies.
Then came Christmas. I did a crapload of crafting and loved every second if it. Except for the part when I had to clean up all that glitter, that stuff will be the death of me.







 We took ev sledding Christmas Eve and he really, really, really disliked it. We probably shouldn't have started from the top of the hill...whoops. But he did fall in love with this little red sleigh thing my sister-in-law let us borrow. He pulled that thing all around.

That night we were supposed to go to our family's house for a nativity play but I got so sick! It was such a bummer. Christmas morning came and started off late, I'm not complaining though. I think we finally opened presents at 11 am. Mr. E could have cared less about opening his gifts. He tore one piece of wrapping paper and was over it. So it wasn't as eventful as I thought. Maybe next year.

Then came New Years eve. We spent it with my sister-in-law, and our good friends. We played games, ate food and drank...sparkling apple cider of course.

My sister, so kindly, took our family pictures for us while she visiting over Thanksgiving. Loved the way they turned out. Taking pictures with a toddler is really hard. 

January
More family came to town to visit. My father-in-laws sister and her son and his friend flew in from South Africa to surprise him for his 70th birthday. We had a house full of family for quite awhile and it was awesome. I loved getting to meet and get to know more of Conryd's family. They're all such amazing people. And I just love to be surrounded by family. It makes for great company. We showed the out of town-ers what Krispy Kremes were all about. And a trip to Park City. I guess those are 2 neccessites when visiting here :)




Two weeks in to the new year, all of the visitors left and the house felt so empty. It's always hard the first few days to adjust when guests leave.

And I guess this now gets us caught up with today. Yesterday I dropped the hubby off at the airport to go spend 3 weeks in Florida. Yes, you read right, THREE WEEKS! I'm already dying and it's only been 24 hours.
This is where my husband gets to call home for the time being... (not that exact spot, but you know, in an actual house)

If you're wondering what he's doing out there, let me fill you in as best as I can.
We still haven't heard great news back from PT schools, so we're starting to look and explore new possibilities of where life can take us. The hubby's best friend produces his own music and has gotten quite busy with his work. He asked Conryd if he'd be interested in coming to work with him doing media updates for his "band," I'm not quite sure if you call it a band it artist or music maker or whatever, and also do office management type stuff. So we've sent the hubby out there to test trial it for a few weeks and that also gives us time to hear back from schools.

So that's about it for us. Will probably do another update when we finally find out what we are doing with our lives.
