Cross Country skiing and an update!

We have been busy these last couple of months! We drove to Arkansas for Christmas and stayed with Emily's family. We had a great time! We then went to Colorado to visit my family. It was a lot of driving but the was looking out for us and the roads weren't bad and Emily narrowly avoided hitting some deer. She used her mad driving skills and weaved between the deer on the road. Emily now has 5 days left of beauty school! We are super excited for her to graduate. I have started up my classes and am still working at HAS inc on the weekends. We are busy but we still find time to have fun. It is amazing to think that I have been married to the love of my life, Emily for a year and a half on February 4th. Chad is coming to visit next week and Emily takes her written boards on Monday and next weekend we will go to Boise so she can take her practical boards. Everyone pray that she will do well. I know she will!

 We took some family pictures and they turned out great!

 We put up our Christmas tree at the beginning of November so we could enjoy it.

 These are some cinnamon rolls Emily and I made at her parent's house. They were delicious!

 We went to Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National park with my family and we saw some Elk crossing the road.

 We went cross country skiing at mesa falls. All together we skied for 10 miles! It was tiring but very fun and beautiful to see the falls in the winter.

 I got hot while skiing so I took off my jacket.

 Lots of Snow! But it wasn't very cold that day.

 We went with some friends from our ward: the Mcombers and the James. We had a great time.

Pumpkin Carving

This is Emily with her Pumpkin carved like a cat:)

These are our pumpkins and our Friend's pumpkins.

My pumpkin is Mike Wazowski from Monsters inc. We had a good time!

We made chocolate white chocolate chip cookies! We love them!

Meanwhile Snuggles is passed out in her bed! :)

 

Now for a little update. We are as happy as we can be together! We make each other happy and we love life together! Emily is excited to graduate from beauty school in January. She is counting down the days. She is also extremely excited for Christmas. We put up our Christmas tree yesterday. Emily really gets the Christmas spirit and some of it has rubbed off on me. She is wanting to have a Christmas party for all of her school friends. She is my whole life, I love her so much. I feel like we grow closer everyday. I am about to register for my classes this Monday. My classes will start in January. I am working right now and I enjoy my job. I hope to work part time once school starts. We are doing great and so is Snuggles! We will post a picture of our awesome Christmas tree soon!
