It's been a while

For Christmas Bryant was able to get the entire week off of work and so was I (what are the chances, eh?) so we decided to go to Utah to spend it with our families. I had all these intentions of things we were going to do and people we were going to see while we were there and thought we had plenty of time. A week is enough to fit it all in, right? Nope, I was definitely wrong. We had a great time and I still don't know where all of our time went. We spent time:

Shopping
Cooking
Eating (of course! Christmas dinner is the best!)
Spending time with family
Playing games (Celestial Companion, Texas Hold 'em, etc)
Doing a puzzle
Opening Presents (and getting spoiled, thanks so much everyone!!)
Taking the dog out to potty in the snow (he loved it btw, I did the first couple of times but it got old)
Playing with the new puppy
Having dinner with friends (Thanks for letting us use your car Ord's!)
Relearning to single crochet around a blanket (Thanks mom! The blanket turned out really cute- as long as you don't look too closely at my poor job but I think I'm getting better ;)
Playing Bingo at the Whitings (thanks for including us, we had a lot of fun and the prizes are fantastic!!)
Going to the movies with Micquel and Jeff
Playing games at the Guymon's
Nikki's wedding reception

...and I'm sure many other things that we thouroughly enjoyed but my pregnant brain is a little forgetfu (much better than it was at the beginnning though).

Thanks to everyone that mad our Christmas a grand one!!

To you we didn't get to see (Sara, Lisa, our Willey friends, etc.) I'm sad we missed you but hopefully it won't be too long before we come again (maybe not till after the kid arrives).

Btw- Sara my phone died and I completely forgot to charge it so I didn't get your text until after Christmas so I'm sorry I didn't respond so here is a late Merry Christmas to you!! Good luck with your final semester, I know you'll do great and maybe I'll even be in Utah by your graduation (Isn't it May or June-ish?).

Sorry for the lack of pictures. Bryant and I are both slackers on the picture front and tend to end up with pictures of our dog (which who wants to see pictures of our dog?) or really lame random ones that have nothing to do with anything... We really need to be better about that.

Sounds like you guys had a great time! Wish we would have been there when you came for games. I think we were still on our honeymoon, so we had a good reason for missing. ;)
Hope you can come again soon! I feel like I didn't see you at all!

Oh Mindy! I'm so sorry that I didn't get to see you! I miss you a lot and I hope that everything is going well for you! I'm sorry I'm not better about keeping in touch... :( I hope to see you soon though.

Yo Min-D! What up sista? Okay, so on several occasions mother has mentioned that perhaps yous guys will be moving to Salt Lake soon after the arrival of your blessed boy. I just want conformation of said rumour. Could it be true? That would be fabulous! Not as great if we end up moving to tim-buk-too.

I was just thinking about you yesterday... and how much you lucked out playing Bingo! I think we walked away with a TOTAL of $20 in prizes!!!

Oh. And that whole forgetful thing... it'll get worse. I promise. Good luck with that!
