It Is Official!

WE'RE MOVING!!!! Sam got a job in Provo at the state youth corrections facility! He'll be doing exactly what he's doing right now but just in Provo. We will be moving in with my in law's in SLC for a short stint while we look for a place to live. In other good news I GOT A JOB INTERVIEW! I haven't had a job interview in ages and none that I have ever had to prove that I earned my degree. Its a job in a genetics lab and if I get it Sam's job and my job will be 52 miles apart . . . . yeah. So we're going to be looking for a place to stay in the Draper area because that will be right in between. We're moving on Feb 5th because Sam starts work that night. Any one that wants to help us load our trailer can come over Thurs, Feb 3rd at 7:00 pm. Anyone that would be willing to help me deep clean the apartment on Fri, Feb 4th would be my new best friend. :) The more the merrier! Gotta get it spotless for inspection.

Sam and I are excited and nervous for this new chapter of our lives. We'll be closer to his family and almost all of our married friends. Cedar has been good to us but its time to move on. We'll miss our friends here but will have to visit whenever we head south. Things are looking up!

Packing, Cleaning and Praying,

Whit

Christmas!

We had a great Christmas this year! Sam got Christmas Eve and Christmas Day off so we went down to my family's house for 5 days. We went four wheeling and visited cousins. Christmas Eve we had a great dinner with my family and my grandma, step grandpa and uncle. The Honey Baked Ham my uncle brought was the hit of the night. SO good! All us kids acted out the Nativity as my dad read Luke 2. Then we all piled in the car and drove around looking at Christmas lights. This is probably my favorite tradition of Christmas. :) My little brother panicked a little when we didn't have cookies to leave out for Santa but we used a piece of pumpkin pie and left a glass of milk. We got spoiled this year, as always. Santa got us a new set of plates and bowls from IKEA, he got me Inception and Sam Invictus. I got a neck massager, leg warmers (that i desperately wanted!), a bracelet from my father in law that he hand engraved, another set of plates, a puppy/kitty calendar, and best of all a SEWING MACHINE! I LOVE IT! I took it over to my brother in laws and used it for the first time with his wife's help :). Sam got a RC helicopter that he absolutely loves, a new Sunday shirt and tie, a Kholster concealed holster for his hand gun, The Secret, and more but I can't think of anything else. Haha. We had a really great Christmas and hope everyone else did too!
