Christmas, New Years, and Cold Water...

Well I tried posting some pictures from my Christmas break, but my computer won't cooperate. I'll keep working on it and hopefully I'll get some up soon.

I was fortunate enough to go home very early - I flew home on December 15th. It was nice to be home and see everyone, even if it was only for a week. December 21st, we packed Christmas in the car and made the 17 hour drive to Boise, Idaho to spend Christmas at my grandpa's house. We go there for Christmas every other year and very much enjoy spending time with family and having a "White Christmas". This year was somewhat hard, being that my grandma was not there to celebrate with us. But we still tried to enjoy ourselves, nonetheless. On the 27th, we packed up once again and made another 8 hour drive to Medford, Oregon to see my brother Ryan, his wife Kelli, and my new niece, Kayden. We spent a few days there and we were able to get a visit to the grandparents in as well. Kayden is the cutest little girl!! We drove back home on the 30th and all went to bed!!

New Years Eve was spent a variety of places. We went to the Kershaw's for snacks and after a while, us kids left and went our separate ways. I stopped by my friend Kaleigh's house and was able to see a few people I haven't seen since graduation, which was nice. But by 10:00 I was feeling tired and by 11:00 I was in bed. Lame, I know. But really, what's the big deal? Another year, so what? We've had 2008 of them...

Unfortunately, the fun had to stop some time and I made it back to Utah this morning - barely. We left the house a little late and then the driver (I won't mention any names - some of you may know her. She goes by mom most of the time...) got on the freeway going to the wrong airport. We got there with less than ten minutes to spare. But I'm back. And surprise, surprise - our water heater is broken. I turned the water on to take a shower, but after running it for about ten minutes, it was still cold. So I called the management company... But they are closed for New Years. I guess one day without a shower won't kill me...
