I can’t believe December has come and gone so quickly.
Fortunately Jason and I were able to do many fun things during the month. Here
are just a few:
·
We started off the month by going to the baby
blessing of the Simmons family, friends of ours from our last ward. They
adopted a baby girl in November and we were able to attend the sealing and
blessing of baby Faith.
·
Jason has had several beginning and intermediate
level interviews for various jobs. One of the most exciting was for a summer
internship in Colorado just before Christmas. Since the company paid for his
flight out there, I decided to tag along so we could spend the weekend with
Mike and Desi and their family. It
was so fun to visit them and to meet their new addition, 2 mo. old Ivy
Elizabeth. She only weighed about
7 lbs. and was so fun to hold. I held her every chance I got! Jason felt pretty
good about his interview, but he won’t find out more until after he takes his
first actuarial exam the middle of January.
·
We flew back to Salt Lake on Christmas Eve and
enjoyed participating in the annual nativity re-enactment at my parent’s house.
It just gets better every year! We spent Christmas day visiting with lots of
family including the Eliasons, Grandpa and Grandma Richards, my parents, the
Riverton Rogers, Uncle George and Bill, and Jason’s parents. We totally enjoyed
the food and the company!
·
The end of December marked the 10th
anniversary of when I received my endowments in the Mt. Timpanogos Temple.
Jason and I celebrated by doing a session that night with Jason’s parents. We
were even chosen to be the witness couple which made it even more special.
·
New Year’s Eve we celebrated with Jason’s
parents and enjoyed a night of dinner and games with Chels and Mike. We are
getting excited for their upcoming wedding!
Jason and I are very grateful for the many blessings we’ve
received in 2012. We’re grateful to have family so close and grateful for
gospel of Jesus Christ. Our adventure continues and we are looking forward to
finding out where the next year will take us!
