NOVEMBER & DECEMBER

Both November and December were busy and eventful which could be why they flew by so fast. Let me try to update you on the past two months. We had an amazing second Thanksgiving in VA, we hosted it at our new house and three amazing couples joined us. A couple weeks after Thanksgiving our parents came to visit, which was AMAZING!! You never realize how much you love and miss family until you live on the other side of the country! While they were here we cut down our Christmas tree. This was the first time I had ever done this. You would think being from Idaho I would have but nope. We also took them to some of our local historical sites and to the Law School. As fun as it was to have them come it was harder to have them leave, especially right before the holidays.

This was our first Christmas in VA, and a hard one. Not only did we miss our family but we were extremely jealous of all their snow. As much as we both wish we would have been home I think that this Christmas will be engraved in our memories for the rest of our lives. It was our first Christmas on our own and a growing experience.
Now its 2009 and we are both looking forward to a promising new year. God has great things in store and we are excited!!
