Merry Christmas

Well we have had a very eventful last few weeks!.. more details later but it includes graduation, moving from rexburg to SLC, finding a new apartment, coming up to washington for christmas, and soon we will be leaving to Star Valley and then back to SLC to start a new job at the new year.. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and have a WONDERFUL new year!!!

Alright here is the full story on everything that is happening right now in our lives, you don't have to read it all but it helps me keep track if i write it down here. Jesse graduated with his bachelors degree in Biology on December 12th. We were so excited to have his parents come down and participate in the celebrations with us. We were able to attend a banquet with President Uchdorft which was really neat to be in a setting that wasn't to formal he joked how him and President Erying got the assignments to speak at graduation and he was chosen to come to Rexburg and President Erying got to go to Hawaii... anyways we had a really good time and I'm SOOO PROUD of my husband and all that he has accomplished in his schooling. We were lucky enough to find a job for Jesse right out of school which we are pretty excited about. He has gotten a job at the ARUP laboratories in SLC and starts on Jan.5th. He is going to be working in the area of thrombosis and hemostasis.... yeah stuff that has to do with blood and clotting factors (you'll have to ask him for more details) I'm a little nervous moving down to that area, it wouldn't have been my first choice but it is a great job for him and he gets great benefits soo i'm excited to go to the dentist :o) After Jesse graduated we packed up our house that weekend, loaded our stuff on monday (thank you to all who helped!) and headed to SLC that night in a wonderful snow storm ( took us 5 hours to get there). We spent the next few days trying to find an apartment, got a flat and had to buy 4 new tires, and lots of snow!! Needless to say it wasn't all that thrilling. We are soo glad to have some of our friends moving down there also , they have been a BIG help already! After we found an apartment and moved our stuff in we headed to Washington in yet another snow storm (YEAH!) We have had a great time here with my family! Everyone was able to come home for christmas and yet again we got spoiled by my parents for christmas.. but this year it was above and beyond.. (we got a 46in flat screen TV!) we can hardly belive it ourselves. My brother James just got back from and trip over seas and brought back some really fun things from his trip, we got a Box that is carved out of a solid piece of wood.. it is pretty awesome! Anyways christmas was fun and now things are coming to an end and we are headed next to wyoming and then finally back to SLC to start our new chapter in our lives. Again I hope everyone had a wonderful christmas and enjoy the New Year
