Jamee and I are living the dream. We love where we are at right now in life and the past few months only prove it. Although it was fan-tab-ulous to see all the friends and family over the holiday's the cold weather was not. Here is a run down of how the holiday's went, and what is happening right now.
::Thanksgiving (a long, long time ago)::
We spent Thanksgiving in Arizona. We were graced with the presence of a short couple (Ryan and Ashley) and a tall couple (Manda and Charlie) and a solo flyer (Brad, my buddy from college) coming to visit us from the north. We had Ry and Ash with us most of the time crammed in our living room with Brad.
We went to Angies for lunch and had a marshmallow fight, since we didn't have snow, we pretended the marshmallows are snow balls. Pretty low key and just enjoyed the company. Manda and Charlie then stayed with us the last night and we really enjoyed hanging with them and going on 2 dates in one night. Mande is now hooked on the Yougurtology craze just like us!
Then we waited to go home for Christmas...we thought we were ready...
::Christmas (a long time ago)::
We first celebrated with our friends in Arizona before we all went our separate ways. We had a party at Kyle and Leslie Morris'. They are some of our good friends down here. Along with the Bost family, Motte's, Webb's, and the solo flyer Paul Colman.
We were flying in to MSP during the supposed "storm" that we were supposed to get. Well to Gil, there is no such word as storm when you drive a Tundra. So we got in and home just fine. We stayed in MN a couple nights hanging out with Jamee's family just to catch up and have some fun. Thanks Brenda for the great Christmas Eve program! =) Always a fun tradition...
We then got to Iowa and got to see my family. It was great to see all of them as well. We did our annual white elephant exchange, while the girls could just call it a "purse exchange" cause thats what it is. Anyway Kyle won the NCAA'10 family tournament...I was ousted by the winner at least! We loved being around all the loved ones and seeing everyone again, especially Tyler and Megan as we hadn't seen them since they got married. Pretty weird he's married now, yet cool!
::New Year's 09/10? (some time ago)::
So we had a good time with our friends and family's combined on this night. We went to my parents house and met up and caught up with everyone, then went to the Blackhawks hockey game in town. It was a great game that went to a shoot-out. No fights though! Then we went to a lounge where one of our friends band was playing. Which was nice because it was only blocks from the game, and it was freezing out!
All of our friends were there and it was a good night of dancing and just talking with them all.
We then just relaxed the rest of the time enjoying the snow, as much as we can. So we got in the hot tub when it was (-20) which made it feel really hot, it's my favorite thing to do in the cold winters.
So that is our holiday update. Now we will keep you up with the everyday happenings going on so this thing isn't so doggone long! I/We will try to do something weekly, if there is something to write about. Nana/Bumps....I know I told you I would update it, so I PROMISE!
Till the next time, have a great week and keep it in the short grass...I mean in the foot deep snow in the cold weather :)
