Hello, goodbye.

Ok poor picture quality, but here is the last picture we took of Dan with his old Acura.  We drove it to Las Vegas Friday night to give it to his Dad (the original owner).  His Dad then drove it back to CA.  

We were talking and we had many good memories in that car!  Such as... our first date, we got engaged by it, our honeymoon, and it was the only car we had for the first year of our marriage.  

Here's Dan with his new car, a Nissan Maxima.  So far he is really liking this new car and I'm sure many more memories will be made with this car.  Such as me getting my highest bowling score ever last night!  Yep, 135! Ok... it's not that great, but I rarely get over 100, so for me it was awesome!  

As of late...

Poor blog is being neglected.  But really, not much is going on here!  We've just been working and that's about it.

I guess we did get Dan a new car last weekend, that was fun.  He was ready to finally get a car that he fit in comfortably.

Lately I've been using my silhouette for a few things.  It is so much fun!  I made this to go on top of our cupboards:

I also made a surprise with my silhouette for my nephew and sent it to him in the mail.  He and I are kind of pen pals :).  He sent me a picture this week and it made my day!

At work today was 100 day.  The whole day was dedicated to activities involving 100 since we've been in school 100 days.  Let's see... we put 100 fruit loops on necklaces, stacked 100 plastic cups, put 100 stickers on a chart, each kid frosted 5 cookies which totaled 100 for the whole class, we made 100 day hats, and lots more.  All of our activities were even done in 100 minutes!  The kids seemed to have a great time!

Oh and this past week was the 150th birthday of St. George, so we went to the celebration for it.  We felt we had to participate because it's not every day you turn 150!

So that's us.  Just going through January and looking forward to some warmer weather soon (i hope)!

Christmas & New Years

I have been trying to write this post for a week now!  Work has started back up again so I've been busy with other things.  But now that we have 9:00 church I've got the whole afternoon free!  We had a fun Christmas just the 2 of us.  We slept in, opened presents (Dan got me a Silhouette and I've already got lots of projects in mind...  I got him Wii Fit and I think I use it more than he does.  I love it!), had a yummy breakfast, went to church where Dan played a special musical number, and even had a district of missionaries (10 of them) over that evening for treats and a movie (17 Miracles).  I wish I took pictures of our celebration, but I didn't.  


For New Years we went to Southern California to spend time with Dan's family.  My favorite part was going to Santa Monica Pier.  It was a really neat place!   We walked along the beach and got lunch at a little beach cafe, rode the roller coaster on the Pier, and played a few carnival games.  We then walked up to 3rd street promenade, an outdoor mall with every store imaginable.  Unfortunately it was getting cold and foggy so we didn't stay too long.  That evening we rang in the New Year by playing games and eating chocolate fondue.  

I did snap a few photos with my new iphone (other x-mas gift... i love it.  it definitely lives up to the hype).  

The Pier.  You can kind of see it amid the fog.

Santa Monica beach.

On the Pier.  And freezing a little bit.

3rd Street Promenade.  The football is Dan's prize from one of the carnival games.

Happy New Year!

We also went mini golfing one night in CA.  I did horrible.

We had so much fun we've decided to go back to So. Cal during my spring break in March!  When we saw Jet Blue had tickets for $29 each way we knew we couldn't pass up that kind of deal.  We'll be spending most of our time in Newport Beach.  I'm already looking forward to whale watching and the Newport Beach Temple!
