Holiday party with the fam

Hope everyone had an amazing holiday. Bring it on 2011!!

We've got campin' fever!!!!

AHHH, is winter over yet??? Me and Richard are dying to get out our camping gear!!! Today I went to REI with my dividend money and a 20% off coupon in hand. I ended up getting a sweet sleeping pad from the brand Thermarest. It's called the prolite plus. I am sooo excited!! Richard had the brightest idea.. why don't we set up camp in our front room?? So that's exactly what we did!!! Can't wait to smell like smoke and eat tin-foil dinners again. Cheers to the outdoors! :)

The Latest and Greatest!!!

2010 has treated us well so far! We had the opportunity to go to the Chicago temple a few weeks ago with some friends. What a great experience. It was small but so beautiful!! I hope to get back soon. Richard has been crazy busy with school and I am just trying to stay occupied with work, applying for school, etc. We are counting down the days until we have warm temperatures and sunshine!! Due to the long winters out her in Wisconsin, it has been a MUST for me to find some new hobbies. I have started to make fabric roses! With the roses, I have made a lot of headbands and just made a broach for my Momma. I knew I had a creative side.. I just had to search for it. :)

Happy 2010!

We hope everybody had an amazing holiday season! Richard and I were able to fly home to Utah to celebrate Christmas and New Year's. We had such a great time with all of our family and friends and are so lucky to have them in our lives! After having such a fun vacation.. We are both back into the grind of things here in Wisconsin. Richard is officially 1/8 done with his medical education! haha, all you can do is laugh when you see a figure like that :) He did great his first semester in school and got honors in all of his classes. I am so proud of him!!! He started his 2nd semester on Monday and is already studying like crazy. Work for me is going well. I am really enjoying the 7 days on, 7 off schedule so far. But believe me, after that 7th day of being on.. I am running out of the hospital at a very fast speed!! I am also keeping busy with going to a local gym. It is so close to home which makes it great for my lazy butt to get moving! I have found a new love.. it's called Zumba. My friend Chelsea and I have been going since September and cannot get enough of it! It's a workout class that includes latin, hip-hop type exercise routines. Everyone just lets loose and has a great time. You need to try it!!! There is not much to do or see here in the winter, so just trying to keep occupied has been kinda tough. Thank goodness for cable TV. :) (thank you Bachelor and Biggest Loser!) I am so excited for summer and to be able to go explore this pretty state. Two of the main things I want to go do is #1 go up north and camp on the shores of Lake Michigian and #2 travel to the countries biggest waterparks in Wisconsin Dells. Pictures to come! I posted a couple of random pictures of stuff that has recently happened.. so I hope you enjoy. Love ya!
