So, I have never been ice skating. Well, yesterday for my mom's birthday my dad had all us kids (and spouses and grandchildren) meet at Ice World to surprise her for a night of ice skating and family time!! It was so great to see everyone participate. Well, everyone that could, since Jonathan lives in UT so can't always make it to these things, and Tessa is due any day now so she wasn't able to skate either. Little Brooklyn who isn't even 2 yet had skates and had a blast getting to go around the rink! Either one of us would hold her hands or we got these helper bar things that she could hold on to to skate along. Abbigail and Olivia used these as wells when one of us wasn't holding their hands.
I had a great time, and did not find it as difficult as everyone says it is. It seemed like rollerblading to me, and I picked it up pretty quickly and was zooming around the rink. I never even fell down, which was great! I'm definitely anxious to be able to go again!!
Well it's almost the weekend and we have a busy one ahead of us! Fri night after work we are having the missionaries over for dinner. I'm really excited, as a young girl I always enjoyed when my parents had them over, so now I get to do it as an adult and prepare a meal and everything! Sometimes I just really enjoy playing hostess. :)
Saturday Josh has a bazaar type thing to go to and twist balloons. I have visiting teaching, and then that night is my work Christmas party. I'm sure it will all be very exciting, but I'm definitley looking forward to Sunday when we just have church to go to and we can enjoy most of the day just the two of us relaxing on the couch and getting to sleep in a little bit.
Not much else has happened since the last post, but I'll be sure to continue updating!!
Love
Josh and Jennifer.

Busy Lives
Josh and I have been busy busy with work and moving and trying to keep up with the holiday rush. We've pretty much gotten all our christmas shopping done, except for perhaps for one another. I had gotten Josh an Xbox 360 with kinect, but I gave that to him over Thanksgiving because I just couldn't wait any longer. Ha-ha.
We moved back in to the townhouse and so far it's been great. We set up our furniture differently so the front room has much more space, or it seems that way, anyway. We also had to get a new Washer & Dryer, and those are currently being delivered/set up right now. As well as our new fridge. The fridge we thought we had turned out not to work, and the drain pipe on our old washer broke, and the dryer was old, took forever to dry, and the heating element was going out, so neither of these were worth replacing to us, so we just got new ones. I'm excited to be able to do some laundry now! As well as we'll have food in the house again, we've been having to eat out or be creative with food. Who knew how important milk, eggs, cheese, or even having a place to store leftover was!!
We're also 2 weeks away from our Anniversary and have reservations for dinner as well as at a King Suite in a hotel so it should be a nice first Anniversary! :) Next year we're hoping to go back to Disneyland, or on a cruise, or Disneyworld, which will be lots of fun!
I don't think there is much more to update on at this moment. Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the holiday season!!
