New Adventures

This year has already been full of new and exciting adventures. Mike began his last semester of school (at least for now) in January and he is very excited to almost be done! He will graduate in April with his B.S. in Chemical Engineering. 

Michael has had several interviews with different companies. In January he flew to Chicago to interview 

with a company called Praxair. They sell different gasses like helium, nitrogen, and oxygen to different industrial companies. We are excited to announce they offered him a job and we have accepted! 

Michael will begin his job with them sometime in June. 

The catch is we still do not know where we will be located. They assign us to a location for one year and they are still deciding on that location. We will keep everyone posted. For now we anxiously await to find out where we will be headed. 

We also have another big adventure heading our way! We are expecting baby #1 July 24th!

We are very excited to start this new chapter in our life!

With so many big changes ahead of us we want all our family and friends to know how much we love and appreciated their support. We appreciate all the help we have had getting to this point in our lives. We will miss Utah, but we are very excited for the adventures that lay ahead!

Holiday Recap

I am terrible about keeping up with our blog but here is a little recap of Thanksgiving and Christmas

this last year. 

Thanksgiving 2012

This year for Thanksgiving Mike and I headed to Boise for the weekend. Four of my 5 siblings 

families were there and it was fun spending time together. My mom went to Detroit to be with my other brother for the holiday so although we missed her it gave us a chance to surprise her with a bedroom makeover. Us girls spent Friday and Saturday re-decorating her bedroom. It turned out great and her reaction was awesome. We also spent time playing minute to win it games and doing black Friday shopping. 

It was a great weekend. Here are a couple pictures. 

This was Thanksgiving day.... Mike, Emerson, and Yoda taking their afternoon nap :)

Two days after Thanksgiving was my sister's birthday. It was fun to be able to 

celebrate it with everyone there. 

Christmas 2012

This year for Christmas we headed south to the warmth in Arizona! We spent two weeks there which gave us a lot of time to relax and enjoy the break. All of Mike's family was there for Christmas and we had so much fun! Christmas included a cold December dip in the pool and lots and lots of games! After Mike has been away for the last 3 years for Christmas he enjoyed being back at home with his family traditions. I even got my first pair of Christmas pajamas! There is so much we did during the two weeks I would be typing forever. Unfortunately we don't have a lot of pictures either but here are a couple.

Mike was very excited about his Christmas gift of Psych seasons 1-4

Mike and I on Christmas Eve in our Christmas pajamas. All the guys matched and all the girls matched. 

Me with my new Kindle! I have the best husband ever who surprised me with this awesome gift!

This is the Christmas dinner we did at our house before going to Arizona. I just had to show off my 

new Christmas china that I got from Jen and Gable for my birthday! I love it!

I hope everyone had wonderful holidays like we did! It really has been a great year for us and 

we are so blessed to have wonderful family and friends!
