Christmas 2010

I somehow got my pictures from my phone to download onto the computer... I LOVE THE HTC EVO, I have contemplated getting a camera for a long time and I think in the next little while I will, but for now my phone is doing a great job... This year was the year to spend the holidays in Texas with the Phillips family. My husband and I decided to drive out instead of flying. Which turned out great in that we had a car for transportation while we were there. I was able to go and visit some mission friends and have a nice break... Since we drove I decided to bring my desktop so I could work the week following Christmas. I was able to get some work done and that was nice... Here are some pictures from the Vacation

Ashlee gave me the latest Tennis Shoes Amoung the Nephites Book for Christmas and I was able to dive into it on the drive out there... We ended up leaving Thursday the 23rd at 4 pm and drove through the night... The last time we drove out there my husband practically drove the whole way because he wanted to but this time around it was pretty even... We made it by 8 the next morning...

This is the only picture I have from Christmas... At least I have one...

For my Sister in Laws Birthday we were going to go putt putt golfing but ended up going bowling instead and I have to say I was a baller... My classes at BYU Idaho years ago paid off... I mean I still did not do that well but I scored in the 160 range... We had a nice time...

I got to have lunch with some friends from my mission and that was so nice to have some catch up time... I love you Eden, Dawna and Lori...

When I was serving in Colleyville I met the Johnson family. They had a daughter at school at BYU Idaho and she came home for a visit... I first met Brittany in the singles ward that I was serving in, she came in looking all cute and hip with these salmon colored high heals that I thought were too cute... I kept in touch with her and ran into her at BYU Idaho when I went up there after my mission. We became good friends and she got married this December while I was in Texas. It was so fun to be able to go to her wedding and see her marry the man of her dreams... I am so happy for Tom and Brittany Coplen!!! Sam so willingly accompianed me to the reception in Colleyville and I was able to see some wonderful families that I met while serving my mission. Tom and Brittney are both from the same home ward but are a few years apart, they met in the singles ward through his sister and they hit it off... I was so happy to be able to celebrate with them... BTW: does my husband look sharp? We went to the Van Hussen Outlet the day before and he went a little out of his comfort zone with some of his purchases and it paid off... SUPER SEXY!!!!

The holiday season was full of love and laughter and I was able to spend time with the family I love...
