Christmas and a New Year's Eve Wedding

Christmas was great this year. It was the first time I wasn't at home in Virginia, but I had a great time in Utah with Rich's family. Here are a few pre Christmas festivities...we watched the Utah vs. Boise State game (horrible game by the way) with a few friends. Rich and I went to go see the temple lights and I was able to take several pictures using my awesome monopod.

On Christmas Day we opened up presents in our living room...just Rich and I. My mom mailed us lots of presents...thanks Mom! After that we spent the day with Rich's family. Here are a few pics of us opening presents, and here is the aftermath...

After Christmas I flew home to Virginia for Sammy and Lee's wedding. Rich couldn't come because he has a new job and didn't get any time off! Lame. So, Kim, Chris, Smellie and I headed up to DC for the day. Mel was my girlfriend for the day.

On New Year's Eve, Sam and Lee got married! Woot woot! It was a beautiful day, and I'm so happy for them!!

Cuuuute!

What we've been up to...

It's been super busy lately, but life is great! We just had Thanksgiving with Rich's family, and Kim, Mellie, and Chris Potter joined us. Too bad I don't have any pictures of that...but it was a great time!

It's been snowing like crazzzzzy lately, and Mellie stayed with us for the long weekend. Mel brought out the college kid in me, and we went sledding one night. We didn't have any sleds, so we resorted to tupperware lids! And...they didn't work. At all. Seriously, we went about 5 feet down the hill. But hey, it's all about the experience, right?

Oh yeah, and Rich and I went to a Jazz game this past week.  It was a great game...they played the New Orleans...crap, forgot the mascot. Anyway, the Jazz won, and boy, do I love 8th row seats!! Make my day!

We decorated for Christmas too! Check out our living room!

Even though this is super out of order...here are our Halloween pictures. I told you I was getting used to this thing. I'll get it down eventually.

Do you like Rich's? Haha, we are sooooo glad for that awesome block made by the UTES for the win against BYU!!

Finally Did It!

So, I finally did it...I started a blog! It's snowing on a Sunday afternoon, Rich is shoveling the driveway...and we have only one shovel. What else to do? Mess around on the computer and try and figure this stuff out. I'm starting out slow and I have no clue what I'm doing! This is a picture of our house. We recently added shutters and I painted the door black. We've got a long way to go as far as "curb appeal goes," but hey, it's all a process right? Here's a before pic.
