New Calling

I just received a new calling at church. I am still the Laurel Advisor, but now I am helping with the Young Women's sporting program. I haven't really done anything with it yet, but it should be really fun. We play volleyball at the Stake Center every Tuesday night. I am kind of nervous to start coaching (There will be two of us, but still!) I played volleyball in Jr. High and part of High School, but lets be honest here...I wasn't the star player ;) The only bad thing is the Stake Center is a half hour away. My Tuesdays and Wednesdays are now going to be super busy. I will get off of work and go straight to gym. I am really excited to help with this though! I absolutely love my YW calling. The girls are so great, and we have so much fun together. Last week we went ice skating together, and I felt like everyone bonded really well. We have a lot of different types of personalities, but on Wednesday everyone just had fun together. I will try to post some pictures of the girls here soon.

Thanksgiving 2012

We had such a fun Thanksgiving in November. We decided it was too far of a drive to go home for a four day pass, so we had Jared's cousins come up from Portland for the weekend. Brody and Sam stayed for the weekend, and everyone helped make a delicious turkey dinner! We had rolls, jam, mashed potatoes and gracy, corn, turkey, ham, and yams. Everyone helped in the kitchen, and we just had a fun weekend together. We missed getting together with the big family though. We are hoping next year to either go home, or have my parents come up. I was actually pretty nervous to make Thanksgiving dinner for everyone. I like to cook, but I had never made that much food before all at once. I am not so good on the timing part. I didn't have to worry about a thing though this time. Everyone was so helpful, and I was really only in charge of the turkey! Brody and Sam were our first visitors. Thanks for coming to share the holiday with us!!

I am so far behind on blogging, so I am going to be playing catch up! I will have to post what the house actually looks like with our decorations later, but here is basically what the inside of house looks like :) We love our house! It has been a lot of fun nesting over the past 5 months.
