Sorry

I can't believe it has been almost a month since I wrote anything on this blog. I am waiting until Friday to take a picture of my hair since I have a hair appointment with Beth on Thursday!! I am so glad she can see again and will be doing my hair again. I loved getting my hair done in Utah when I visited Kandis but I can't see me flying out to Utah every 5 weeks to get my roots touched up!! Sid and I will be leaving for Colorado on Saturday and hopefully the weather will cooperate and we will land in SLC and then Denver. We will share Christmas with Matt and Stacie and the boys. It will be so much fun to see the boys on Christmas morning. I haven't put up many decorations since we will be leaving so it doesn't seem so festive without the kids fighting over opening the advent calander! The Wheelers parents will be staying at our home while we are gone since their house isn't done yet and they had to move out of their house in the Bay area.

We moved Rusty out in the 1/2 acre and he isn't quite sure if he likes it yet. The first time we put him in the lot he escaped and when we returned from the Temple he was out and running around the outside of the house. We put him back in and he escaped out again. We then moved his kennel into the lot and lock him in the kennel when we are gone. He seems to have stopped escaping since the kennel is on that side of the fence!! We let him in the house the other night when we had a warm fire in the fireplace and he tried to climb on my lap on the couch. He is such a cuddler and thinks he is a lap dog!! I told Sid that is not going to happen again. He is an OUTSIDE dog!!

We tried a new buffet the other night with Christy and Mike and it was really good. It is called the Eastern Buffet and is by the new Nugget Market off of Pleasant Grove. We had a coupon so we tried it out. They have all the good stuff like fresh made sushi, crab legs, chinese food, plus prime rib etc. Really good and fresh stuff!! We all enjoyed it and got our monies worth. It was very reasonable for fresh crab legs and shrimp! We'll have to go back next time someone comes to visit.

We are waiting to hear if Jacob and Julia will be moving in a couple of weeks. They put an offer on a new Townhome and are in the process of waiting to hear when they can move. It is a beautiful new place and I am sure they will be posting pictures soon on their blog. Everything has happened so fast that they haven't had time to post pictures. It should be completed in the next couple of weeks weather permitting. We are excited for them and know they will love having more than 1 bathroom. In fact this place has 4 bathrooms!! 2 full and 2 half. They can each have one now!!!

Well, today is temple day for me and I just love going to the Temple and working. They have put a beautiful Nativity out on the front lawn of the temple and it is huge. Solid white and very simple. Just Mary & Joseph with the baby Jesus and 1 sheep and 1 donkey. It is such a wonderful reminder of the Saviors birth and how simple it really was. I am so blessed to be able to work in the temple and feel the spirit so strong when administering the ordinances that we are blessed to do. I know the Lord loves each of us and wants us to do our best to return to Him. We are truly blessed to have a temple so close to our home. Families really are forever and we are so grateful that our children are active in the church and honor their covenants they have made. We truly are a blessed family.

Well, I will honestly try and get a picture on this blog on Friday so Alexis better expect me to call her and walk me through this process!!
