Much too long!

So it has been much too long since the last time I have posted anything! I feel really bad about it. And I keep thinking about posting stuff and I get lots of ideas about posts but then I just don't ever find the time to actually post my idea! Since my last post we have had a lot of changes in our lives! I got a new job at a Credit Union and I am now working 6 days a week between my two jobs. Rian has gotten TWO new jobs and he is staying busy with school. He works at the school as a lab aide and so he gets to use his computer skills everyday. His other job that he recently got was for a company in Spanish Fork. He edits already drafted houses. The plans get sent to him and then he goes in and makes changes to them so then they company can build the house! He is absolutely LOVING his job and he loves that he gets to use his drafting skills. We are getting so excited for the holidays and can't wait for Christmas to come. It has been fun shopping for all of our family members and trying to find ideas for gifts that they would want. This is our first Christmas being married and we are looking forward to it. Rian was super excited to have our first tree and put up Christmas lights up on our house. He kept telling me "I have never had my own Christmas tree.......... Christmas lights." He makes me giggle. He took pictures of the tree as I was putting it up. Just a little under 4 weeks ago we took Rian's little brother to the MTC. It was so much fun to see him get ready for his mission. He has been so cute sending us letters each week and keeping us updated on the new things he is learning. He is going to the Michigan Detroit mission. We keep teasing him that he better not get shot! Rian and I got the privilege of taking him to the temple when he was receiving his endowment. The little old ladies were so cute and so excited to have us there. They kept coming over to us and making all sorts of cute little comments. Rian's grandpa is a worker at the Manti Temple and that is where we had gone. We were getting ready for Riley to go get his stuff started and so one of the ladies said she would take me upstairs. So she was leading me up the stairs and saying hi to everyone and we came upon this one lady so we started talking to her and I stopped. The little old lady kept going. So when I came around the corner I heard her telling other temple workers that MY SON was going through the temple for the first time tonight. I ran around the corner and peeked my head and said, "Umm..... He is not my son. I mean he is a really good kid and stuff but he is my little brother-in-law!" The lady was so embarrassed. She appologized to me like 10 times! I was trying so hard not to laugh my head off. I then later was thinking geez how old did she think I was? Haha! So I guess I look like I could have a 19 year old son. We are going to try and do better and post stuff more often on here! I really love to read other people's blogs and I know that I need to keep mine updated too! I hope that you all have a wonderful holiday season!
This is our Merry Christmas Tree 2010!
