Catch Up...

It's been awhile. I have been doing bunches of lovely things, but life for the most part is pretty simple. Go to work, sleep, eat, exercise, hang out with friends and family, the occasional adventure. Stuff I don't really think is that intersting when I compare it to all of my friends blogs with their vacations and children and other fun and exciting adventures.

Basically I am still working at Timpanogos Hospital which I am still enjoying immensely. I love my coworkers and everything I am learning. I moved to a new apartment which I just decorated for Christmas and love very much! My roommate is a clean freak as am I, so it works out nicely. I am enjoying time with Eric who is back in Provo, Marybeth my dear friend who lives here, and other awesome people. I have a new ward which is awesome! I just got called as a ward missionary which is scary. I have never had a calling like this before and it is a little out of my comfort zone. I would love advice:)

We have had a lovely fall here in Utah County. Beautiful colors, nice warm weather, exciting BYU football games! Marybeth and I went on some AWESOME hikes.

Thanksgiving was spent at the hospital. A different way to spend the holidays, but I was so grateful the entire day for a good job, for my health, for the knowledge that the Lord has blessed me with. I was also grateful because I get Christmas off this year!!! I am one blessed, happy girl and I feel very fortunate for enerything that I have.

Preston is doing really well on his mission in Mozambique. He writes some pretty crazy experiences in his letters. Eric is surviving another semester at BYU in the hardest major on campus. Cameron is dating, yes actually dating! He has been on a couple of dates so far this school year. Mom is selling insurance again and is anxiously waiting for open enrollment to end. Dad is busy with work and finishing his MBA.

I am loving this time of year. Christmas is the best! I love the excess of love that I feel the entire month of December. I am going to continue the tradition that I started last year and read the Gospels through the month of Decemeber. This was an awesome experience last year because I got to think about and read about Jesus every day of the month.

Here are a few pictures from the last couple of months:
