Happy Holidays!

It has been a while! I don't have a ton to update you all on.. I don't even know if anybody really reads this but I thought I would update a little about my life! I am still working as an aid at the elementary school. I will be starting school in January at Weber State and I have been accepted into the Education Program there. I am getting all of my pre-recs done and on the fall I will be starting my levels! WAHOO!! 5 more semesters and I will be done. Lets just pray I can make it through.

I have had a lot of fun lately. I have not wanted it to get cold.. but I am getting more and more excited for Christmas. I did some shopping (online) today and I am almost done with my shopping! YAY!! It feels good and I am very excited. Thanksgiving was amazing. We had dinner on Wednesday night with my moms side of the family and it was a success! Then on Thursday, my parents and brother headed down to Vegas so I went with my sister to her in-laws for dinner. Then I was lucky enough to head down to Southern Utah to do some slot canyons with my boyfriend. He was already down there with his dad so I waited all day for his twin to let me know when he and his wife were headed down. We left here at about 7:30 and I couldn't wait to get down there to see Steve. We got to our campsite at about 11:30 and we went and woke Steve and Paul up. We got in our tent (I was in the tent with Mike and Lori) and got all ready for bed and I tried to sleep.. It didn't work too well. I couldn't get warm and I most definitely couldn't sleep. Friday morning we woke up and cooked breakfast and got ready to go to a slot called "Leprechaun" IT WAS A BLAST!! It was super tight and there were some spots where I couldn't fit through! It was so much fun. We went down three weeks before that (Steve's brothers last weekend home) and did another slot called "Not Mindbender" I think I might have a new addiction! 

Life is so good. I have the best boyfriend ever and I couldn't be happier! I have a good job that is so flexible and so good to me. I am excited for the holiday season. I love my family, I love Steve, I just love life! I'll add pictures so its not quite so boring! :) 

Enjoy! 

Throwing rocks during our lunch break! 

Steve being the brave one to go check out how much water we had to go through! 

Mitch staying high in the slot so he didn't get wet.

Us! 

Its so beautiful in these canyons! 

He is SPIDER-MAN!!

I love him! 

Coming off of the last repel in my first slot! AMAZING!!! 

IT WAS FREEZING!! (our first trip down) Luckily the second trip was MUCH warmer!

On Saturday we went to Goblin Valley and Steve wasn't feeling too hot.. so he found a nice rock to relax on!

The amazing rope swing that Steve and his dad made at camp before we got there!

The sign Paul and Steve made so we would be able to find camp on Thursday night.

Twins.. they turn into little boys when they are with each other.. its cute! 

Hiking up so we could drop in the slot.. Isn't he good looking?? :)
