Catch-up

This is late, but we had a great Christmas break! We were in Pinetop with Tommy's family and had a lot of fun! We had fun playing with the kids, visiting with family, watching movies, playing games, going to Taos, NM (minus the ride home when mine and Sam's relationship was almost damaged :/), playing in the snow, and tons of other things. I really enjoyed getting to know the family better and meeting more of his extended Montoya family. It was a great, much needed break!

I won a puzzle at their ward Christmas party and I enjoyed doing it. I felt like my mom who always does puzzles at Christmas time and ignores everyone while she does it...which I did. :)

It snowed a bunch (nothing compared to how much they've gotten lately...but still a lot) and we had a lot of fun playing in it. I had never played in snow with ski pants, good gloves, and boots before and really enjoyed not being soaked when it was all over. It was probably the most fun I've ever had in snow. We created an awesome sledding route behind their house on the hill and had a ton of fun (which I didn't take pictures of).

He wrote me a message on the van.

We were able to do a session at the Mesa temple with Kim when we went back to Phoenix. There were a TON of weddings going on. I guess Mesa is a popular place in December.

Since we've been back, we have started school and things are going well for us. Tommy is in his last semester of classes and enjoying it and I am in my "I just have to get these classes over with" semester...so nothing too fun. I do have a lot more free time than I did last semester though and I am really loving that!

One of my old roommates, Lizzy, got married on Jan 15th and we got to go to that. All 6 of my roommates and our boys got to be together and it was so much fun! It seems like between the bridal show, the wedding, and the reception (all on different weekends), I have gotten to see them a lot and am loving it! I have remembered how much I love them all and how happy they make me. :)

This is all of us, minus the bride and groom and Jocelyn's fiance, Jason who was working.


It was fun to be bridesmaids together! And Lizzy was beautiful!

:) It was such a happy day.

The boys took our bouquets and showed off their great looks. There were several of these shots and they were hilarious.

I have more to post of more recent things that I will do on another post...I just wanted to get caught up on this stuff.
