What We've Been Up To!

I am copying Michelle (my sister) and doing a SUPER POST! I know I haven't blogged in a while but I have been incredibly busy! This semester is almost over and I am so stoked! But next semester won't be any better. Oh well that's life! I first need to say thank you to my sister in law Rachel! She is so freaking wonderful! I had to write a literary review for my English class. And my teacher made the assignment so confusing so I was not sure if I was even doing it correctly. So I emailed it to Rachel and she graciously reviewed it for me. Thank you so much!!! Next is Ryan and I were released from being primary teachers. (We are now the Weblo leaders). We had a fun group of kids. We taught the 7 turning 8 year old class. We had 14 of them! We tried hard to make it to all their baptisms. The first picture is of three of our kids at their baptism. Today was the first Sunday we haven't taught primary and right before Sacrament started one of the girls in our class came up to me and gave me a hug and some treats for Ryan and I and thanked us for being her teachers and said she is going to miss us! So CUTE!!! Right after the baptism some of Ryan's mission companions and their spouses all came over to hang out. It was a lot of fun. The guys played Wii (picture 2) while us girls chatted and watched. It was nice to hang out! My brother in law Matt got ordained an elder a few weeks ago and turned in his mission papers. He should be getting his call Wednesday! We can't wait to see where he is going and he is super stoked about going! I will miss him but he will make a great missionary! Thursday Ryan got really sick. I think he had food poisoning. But Thursday late afternoon Matt and my father in law came over to give Ryan a blessing. This was the first time Matt annointed (sp?). It was way cool! Ryan is now healthy and back to being himself! Yesterday was the big rivalry football game! BYU vs UofU. Jamie (my sister in law) had a football party at her house! It was so fun! Most everyone was BYU fans but Ryan and I had to cheer for our school! Ryan, me and Kelly were the Ute fans (we recruited Patrick, Matt and Dee, Matt and Dee are Utah state fans really) and Jamie, Casey, Loreal (sp?), Jenn were BYU fans. It was fun being together. I think BYU could have had a chance if their QB played a little better. Oh also yesterday I went and saw Twilight with my sister in laws. I have never read the books but I have heard all about them from my co-workers. The movie was really good and it made me want to read the books. So I am on book 2 but we will see how long it will take me to read it since school is taking over my life! LOL

Oh man...that game would've been so much better if the QB didn't suck! UGH!!! I am glad we had fun at the party though. It was cool just to hang out with everyone. We need to have an awesome New Years Eve party too! Wanna help plan?! :)

And yes, the Twilight movie was AWESOME! I am glad you came with us!

I love Twilight! I am an addict. And I love Ryan's face in the picture of the Ute fans. That's great.

Sounds like you guys are having a lot of fun. So you are now reading the Twilight books.. I loved them!! I have already read the series twice and gotten a couple of my co-workers into the series.
