3 for the price of 1
This post is a real treat. It contains three things I love.
First, a good snow day! We have been "lucky" if that's what you wanna call it to have three snow days already this year and even more lucky to have been snowed in together, if you know what I mean ;) hehe
Pretty though isn't it?
Second, we like to venture out after the snow is all cleaned up into massive piles and there aren't many people on the roads. On one such occasion we decided to go to the, well I would tell you if I could remember the name of the museum but long story short it was closed because of the snow. Pwwhhh! Please. They don't know what snow is out here. Anyway, so we headed to the Yale Peabody museum and because we were first timers and it was closing in 45 mins the nice security man let us in for free! Holla! (saved us $18, which no offense to yale but I wouldn't have been pleased paying that for what I saw.. just sayin') It was fun and we saw most of everything in a quick and dashing manner. Still cool though.
Third, Jeffrey. When Jeff wears a beanie in the snow and then gets warmed up in the car and then back in the snow and then in the house, when he takes the beanie off he looks like a emo punk ready to start a band or better yet one that sings lead and plays guitar in a band. It's kinda cute in a grungy, emo, punk rock kind of way..
yeah, emo or not he's HOT!

Utah, the last installment
Jan 3, 2011
I got to spend this day with these two cute things
And of course my cute sister Abbie all of whom I have missed very much. At about 0715 I got a text from Abbie saying that Lauren was awake and in her crib calling for me. Ha I knew better but I took the bait anyway and went upstairs to play. I walked into Lauren's room to find the light on and both her and Warner in her crib laughing histerically at heaven knows what! It was so funny and cute. We played for about an hour and then Abbie got up and we had some yummy breakfast and played until naps and then Abbie and I went out to lunch and shopping for a little sister time. It was so nice to hang out and talk and play like we use to. Later that afternoon we headed back up to SL county to my parents' house where we played some more and then said our goodbyes. I went out to ice cream with Lisa, one of my best friends and it was a much needed night with the girls. I am so thankful to have been able to see and hang out with as many people as we did in such a short amount of time. I definitely got my fix!
War and his new basketball hoop. He's a pretty good shot!
Sis and her babydoll
She thought it was so funny to feed me the bottle
War's sweet new motorcycle he got for Christmas
Warner found this half sucked down sucker in a toy box in his playroom...
War- "ooh look cass a sucker!" then it went right in his mouth. hehe yuck!

Travel day. I use to love to travel, I use to love to fly. I still do, it's still fun and exciting but I prefer to do it with Jeff rather than by myself. I usually have delays, or miss my plane for one reason or another. I have gotten really good at crying and not paying for a new ticket (okay so the tears are genuine but it helps nonetheless) Anyway, I was feeling homesick for Jeff even though I was at "home" in Utah with family and friends but I was not excited to go home to CT and be alone while Jeff was in Norwalk . But it was going home time so I packed up and my mom and I went to lunch before heading to the airport. I had a pretty good travel day and only had one 2 hour delay. Jeff even came home the next night to be with me. I love him.
We had such a great trip and I'm so thankful for the help of our parents in getting us out there. Thanks to everyone who drove us around or let us borrow vehicles and kept us up for a night or two. We loved seeing you all and next time hope to see more of Ryan and Jill and their cute kiddies and Chris and Tess as well. Maybe we'll see some of you out our way for a change ;)

More Utah Fun
Dec 31, 2010
On NYE Jeff and Scott went skiing in the morning time and I had the opportunity to spend the day with Dave and Becky. We went on a small outing to Orem and then back down to sandy to see a movie where because of the below 0 temps on top of the mountain Jeff met us after just a few runs. We went back to the Seare's house and cleaned up and met Scott and Becca along with Dave and Becky at Asian Star for dinner. Mmm.. it was delicious! We headed up to spend the night at Chris and Tess's place. Poor Jeffrey was so sick so we layed around and he was out by 1030, I stayed up and watching the NYE countdown and I remember seeing the clock it was 11:58 and I was thinking ok, two minutes and we can go to bed. Next thing I know I woke up and I am watching confetti flying and people on tv kissing their way into the new year. Oops! haha I kissed Jeff and then he woke up and we went upstairs to go to bed. Happy New Year all! hehe We woke up the next morning at 5 and took Chris and Tess to the airport so they could fly to cancun for their honeymoon. Ugh I was so jealous, but excited for them at the same time. We had an awesome honeymoon and I wished we were going somewhere warm and tropical!

This day we met my parents and Jeff's parents at Texas Roadhouse for lunch so that our parents could finally officially meet. A little backwards since we had already been married for 7 months but Jeff and I kinda like to do things our own way you could say. It was a great lunch and I think it went very well and I was glad we were able to squeeze it into our fast and furious trip. Jeff and I met up with John and Erin, and Mason and Sarah later that night and went to the Jazz game. It was so fun to hang out with them and the game was a good game as well. The boys (Jeff) all wanted to sit together so after about 10 minutes they all stood up and made the girls move to all sit together so they could sit by each other. It was funny and made for some cute pictures. It was a fun night and I'm glad we had the chance to hang out a little.

A dreadful day. One I had been dreading for weeks anyway. Jeff went home to CT this day, not just home to our house though, to Norwalk where he will be living 6 weeks for his pediatric rotation. The day before we had been talking about whether Dave and Becky should drop me off first and then Jeff at the airport or the other way around and he said, "Well it's a matter of whether you want my parents to see you crying or not." I laughed because he knew exactly what I had been debating in my head without me having to say anything. I love that he understands me without me even knowing what I want sometimes. Needless to say I couldn't say goodbye to him at my parents' house so we rode to the airport and I cried all the way back to my parents' house. Oh well. I have no pride or shame anymore I'm pretty sure last year I cried in practically every airport in the country. Jeff left and I spent the afternoon with my parents and then we headed down to Abbie's house for dinner.

The wedding was so beautiful and classy! Next to my own of course it's one of my favorites I have been to. It even felt a little like our own wedding meeting and talking to all these people (for the 2nd time of course, the first being at our wedding and may be a little hard to remember now) but it was so nice to see everyone again. Tess and Chris were both stunning and I've never seen two people so perfect for one another. We are so thankful to have been able to go home and be there!
