This and That...

So I have yet to recieve a disk with pictures from our California Christmas vacation (wanna take bets I get a call from my mom tonight about how she's mailing them tomorrow?) but we really had an awesome holiday vacation.

I'm pretty sure California thinks I've been out of it's life for too long. It cries when I'm not there. (It was raining before we got there, then rained the day we left.) We basically hung out and did... not much... and it was PERFECT. Just what we always wish for when school and work seem to be overtaking our lives.

Dan got quite an array of tools for Christmas. Of course, we used them right away. (He's a real man, yes he is!) See all those shoes in the background? They are all organized very neatly now on the back of our door!

We had another project as well... but more on that later.



I got a sewing machine, which I am WAY excited about. I have always loved sewing. Never been stellar at it, persay, but I love it. My mom bought both my sister and I a pattern and material for a reusable shopping bag and took a day to teach us to read a pattern. It took a little longer than expected...(like I said, it took a day) but it was neat. Spending that time with my mom and sister was awesome. Makes me wish I lived closer...

Dan and I also got to visit only our favorite temple ever! Good old Redlands! We talked a little, thought a little, and made some little new years resolutions.

We have quite an adventure ahead of us, to say the least, but 2011 is looking to be the best year yet!
