Our Christmas!!!






Merry Christmas to all!! Our Christmas was wonderful! We love living close to both parents. We were able to spend Christmas eve with my parents which was quite busy they had LOTS Of people over which was nice, and learned what kind of traditions we might want to take from living with them, and look forward to starting our own traditions for next year. We spent the first half of Christmas with my parents and then headed to his parents for the end of Christmas day and Saturday with them. 

Santa gave us a camera for Christmas and we really like it and been using it all the time!! 
For the week of News years Eve we have been "house squatting" is how my parents put it in their newsletter. We are house sitting and watching this old dog for a week and loving the chance to be together ALONE! It is really nice. I have also had 2 calls for piano and have possibly 3 new students before the new year, and my goal is 10 before summer which would be an exstreme blessing! We are looking at house that has been offered for rent for us and maybe we will move into there we will see! 

Lots of wonderful things to look forward to in the future we will see what the future instores for us!! i hope all that ever look at this are having a wonderful week and such and that all are safe!! WE are grateful for each other and look forward to the new year also! 

The pictures are of Steve beating me at Pool, taking pictures with our new camera, a picture of the H1N1 but it looks like HiNi (hiney) lol.. so it was funny to us :) and messing with the camera it is our newest toy :)

About time I write again



Okay so for those of you who even check my blog, i know I don't write often and so I tried to write once a week, well that seemed to not work very well.. Maybe that will be my new years resolution. Things have been crazy here but fun. I STILL love my calling teaching music to the primary kids and this sunday December 20,2009 they will sing "The Nativity Song" ALL 5 verses it is awesome how well they learned the song and it is just fun to teach it to them. We will then run through the whole nativity story with them in Junior and Senior primary with singing songs it will be a blast to do this the week of Christmas because we know they will just be SO hyper to do anything else :) 

I am playing the piano for the ENTIRE Christmas Program also this Sunday in Church and so I am going to be crazy till Sunday!! But look forward to the fun of playing I love to play the piano and grateful for the opportunity to help out with Choir. Also look forward to having it all over. 

I am still teaching Piano and Clarinet and today only teaching one child the Holiday's make teaching very intense but look forward to the regular not a lot of things going on and make the regular amount of money with the teaching. 

Steve and I have a chance to sing at Seaworld this Saturday for a free ticket each  so we will have a fun time doing that. We are also going to brave MGM this weekend and look forward to havin some fun before the Holiday's. 

Thanksgiving was great and hope all of your Thanksgiving were good also? Were you able to see family I hope!!! Steve's parents came down and spent sometime with us and ate Thanksgiving with my Family and it was wonderful. We braved the Black Friday just a little bit and went to the Bass Pro Shop. That is an AWESOME shop by the way!! We took a picture or two before we headed to lunch at this Delicious place called "Fruddruckers" With HUGE hamburgers but all natural deliciousness. 

Steve and I watched "Four Christmasses" and just LOVED the movie it was funny to us and Vince Vaughn and Reece Witherspoon I thought they did a great job playing together and it was funny I think because as a couple we could relate with them as a couple a little bit with questions about things and what not.. it was funny. We also watched "Julie and Julia" I really would like one of her cookbooks now that i watched that movie but it was also good, and I want to cook a lot more for Steve now. It motivated me to keep trying new things out and cooking more. 

We are doing very well and looking for an apartment we can move into for this Summer. We are ready to get out of the parents house but grateful to have a place right now to stay. It is our time to start looking. 

Oh we have been very blessed also with so many wonderful families in the ward who ask us to babysit all the time and we have made lots of extra money which has helped us to prepare to move out also we are grateful for all the many people in our lives!! Oh if anyone is in the Florida area and needs a break to sleep or whatever a lovely date with you and your husband give us a call :) We will babysit for a day, a week or overnight let us know!! We are learning lots from all the kids too!! 

Well, I think that is all for now I will try harder to write more and keep you guys interested in my life :) I hope you all have a MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR!! 

Love you all!!
