Our First Winter

The winter semester passed by us quickly and I can't believe we are see spring again!



Both of our birthdays are in the winter. Brent turned 23 and I 21!! For Brent's birthday I surprised him with Trans Siberian Orchestra tickets and took him to Rodizio Grill for some loved  Brazilian food! When we went to the concert we were awed struck by the amazing 3 hour performance by them!! For mine we adventured out during a blizzard. (their is a snow storm every year on my birthday lol) Spent the evening on 25th street at color me mine. We were able to paint some lovely pottery, and enjoyed super yummy food at Roosters.

I love Thanksgiving specially when Nanny and Papa are able to come up and visit us! We had 3 thanksgiving dinners and went to both families in one day!

Since summer I have been working at Little Bumkins Day care. I love it I am so spoiled! Brent also got a new job this fall working on CNC machines he loves what he does. It has just been a hard schedule and a long drive.

Our First Christmas


This was the Sunday before Christmas when we had our choir program and decorated cookies. We spent Christmas eve volunteering at the bishop store house with Brent's family then went over for snow fun and a Christmas movie. Then to my parents for a dinner. It was a lot of fun until that night I got very ill and was throwing up every hour all Christmas eve. The next day on Christmas I had planned it all out in my head we would get up early and I would make us breakfast and maybe make it to my parents before they were done... I did have a stomach to eat let a lone make anything. I slept in and slowly we did our gifts. Slowly made it to my parents for a short while before heading to both of Brent's grandparents and in between hearing my Brent's brother through skype on his mission in Guatemala. I wasn't able to enjoy any of the Christmas food and we went home early to get some rest... I was disappointed. I was loved though and I love my family and Brent's and so grateful for what we received.



That next weekend we headed out to Lava Hot springs for a mini vaca! I needed it after my ill Christmas. However, I still wasn't feeling that great so it felt good to be in the hot springs and relax. I love being on the go and always some where doing something. I have done a lot already in life and I love showing the things to Brent and helping him get caught up with me haha

New years we spent with friends playing games!

 

We have made some wonderful friends in our ward we love it! The winter Olympics were held in Sochi, Russia 2014. We were able to go see some trails in park city! We will be cheering on my moms cousin Amy Purdy in the parolympic snowboarding.

This seems like yesterday where has the time gone?! The days turn to weeks and months fast when we look back.



Valentines we reserved for the next day where we spent it in Salt Lake ice skating and window shopping and eating lots of yummy foods!

I am also so spoiled at work for Holidays we have a lot of fun!

It has been on of the hardest semesters yet. I am finally able to take 1010 math and it is a struggle. Brent works swings 3-midnight so I don't see him until the weekend and it is way hard! We don't get a lot of sleep and we try hard to keep up on our home work, but its all wearing us down and I can't wait for it to end!

We were able to hear from Elder Russell M Nelson at a Syracuse fireside with grandma and grandpa Cowley. I love being inspired by those men of God!

One of the greatest things is that we are moving!! Into an apartment basement just around the block. My visiting teacher owns the house and is going to be renting to us starting April! I am so excited to have a wonderful place to call home and a better living situation!! Everything is looking up!
And we are headed to Vegas Friday for spring break! I will post later about it all!
