Hello

Just wanted to take a quick minute to say hi. Ben and I took down our Christmas decorations this week - kinda sad but oh well. We still have our naked Christmas tree sitting in the corner waiting for us to take it to get recycled. We have had a lot of snow in the past few days and it has given me a good work out keeping the sidewalks cleared. Now I just need to carry my shoveling work out into the gym and exercise more. Like everyone else in most of the world I have made some resolutions to be healthier.

We would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year once again, cause hey it is fun. Also it is hard to believe that 2009 is already here.

Its a bird, its a plane no waits its......

Our Thank You Cards!!!!!

Finally I know. 80) I feel so happy to have these finally done. Not the pic below, it is a reminder to do our notes..... yeah look at the date. August 7th. It is still on the fridge but now I get to scrub it off that white board.



So some of you may see a thank you note in the mail soon. I'm just happy I was able to finally get them sent off and let people know we are really thankful for all the gifts.

Wonderful Christmas

Hello all. So Ben and I had were able to have a wonderful First Christmas together. We both worked Christmas Eve and spent that night here at our apartment. Christmas morning we woke up and went up to Ben's parents house to exchange presents. As we left the house we were greeted by a bad snow storm.



We were scheduled to leave salt lake city at about 445pm but because of the storm we hopped onto an early fight. We arrived into phoenix at abt 5pm and went over to our Aunt Janet and Uncle Scott house for dinner and to see a number of our cousins. The house is beautiful and large enough to contain all of us.



We were able to meet some of our cousins new babies and just spend time hanging out with everyone.
We flew out Sunday morning back to Utah.

We had a wonderful time and it was so great to see every one and meet the new little additions to the family.

Hello Again

Well sorry it has been a while since out last posts. As some of you know the hard drive on my MacBook crashed so I have not posted. Not much new is going on with us. Ben is averaging about 60 hours a week right now with the increase in mail traffic. I have just been keeping busy with chores and my usual work schedule. We got my computer back yesterday and were excited to video conference with Mom and Dad Harbour out in Va. Beth and Derek (along with Charlotte) were also out there to watch various Montana Grizz championship football games so we got to see our beautiful niece and her big eyes.

I highly recommend Skype for families who have internet access and a web cam - if both parties use the Skype application to video conference the call is free. I love being able to see my family every week.

Ok off my soapbox -

Well I would love to wish everyone a Merry Christmas as it is just around the corner and travel safely if you are heading out for the holidays.

Little Update

Hello all.
Well so just thought I'd put a little note in about our week. On Sunday Ben and I spoke in church on thanksgiving and eternal families. The talks went well but I always feel like when I talk I zone out and forget what I was doing. 80) Ben is a really good speaker and did a very good job.

Yesterday we also got called to teach primary CTR 7 starting in Jan. It will be interesting to see how we hold up as teachers.

Other than that not much going on. We are gonna set up some Christmas stuff this week and just get ready to welcome 2009 in next month.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!!!!

I am this game....

You Are Boggle

What Board Game Are You?

Hello all,
Well not much has been happening but we got some exciting news today as my wonderful Sister -in-law Beth started contractions today. Her due date was Nov 12th and hopefully little Charlotte will great us any time now.

Below are some flowers my neighbor brought me (it is awesome having a friend who works in a flower shop). Apparently the flower store only allows flowers to stay in the cooler for a allotted number of days before the are "expired". Then the flowers would just get thrown out so they let the employees take them home. Alaieda brought theses up to me the other day because she and her husband already have a few arrangements. 80)




So that is about it. Ben and I are just getting excited to head up to Montana next week to see all the family and hopefully our new Niece.
