Our trip to Washington
Christmas is over :( but at least Christmas break is not over yet and we still have New Years Eve, which should be fun. Anyways, Christmas was great. It was fun to see everyone, and while we always could have used more time to spend with everyone, it was at least sufficient. We got in pretty late Tuesday night so we were very tired. Wednesday I got my hair done because we did family pictures later in the week with Jason's family. My hair took like five hours, which was kind of annoying since I was stuck there all day Christmas eve, but it turned out really good, so I was happy about that. We spent Christmas eve at mom's house and had a yummy dinner and opened presents. We got Outdoor Challenge for the Wii, and were so surprised (okay not really, we picked it out ourselves). That was in addition to what we bought ourselves, which for me could either be decorations for the house or my hair, whichever I want to take out of that money. Jason still hasn't spent all his Christmas money from my parents. The money from my dad also went to the decorations/hair for me, which are both great presents!
We spent the night at Jason's house so we could have Christmas morning there. We got spoiled from his family too. They got us an emergency preparedness kit, a gift certificate to the Olive Garden, the Tirrell families are forever sign that I have been wanting, and a beautiful granite tile with a quote from President Hinckley on it. They got us some other little stuff too. Madison made me a cute hat, that was sweet of her! Reesa got us Smarty Pants, which we really wanted, so that was great too! We went to Dales for a few hours after that. It was so great so see my girls! They are so sweet and cute. I took quite a bit of pictures which I would post now except I'm at work so I will have to post them later. We had a great breakfast at Jasons and then a great dinner at Dales. We went back to Jasons for a couple hours after that, before we went to sleep over at my moms.
Me and my mom woke up early to go shopping, but didn't really find any good deals on anything we needed. I bought a nice sweater and a new planner, that's about it. We spent the rest of the trip bouncing back and forth between houses trying to see enough of everyone. We played a lot of Wii fit at Jason's house because they got it for Madison and Reesa for Christmas. It's fun, we will have to get that one sometime. It was sad to leave, but once we got home it was kind of good to be home too. It is so nice having an apartment that we love to come home too! Yesterday Jason put together our entertainment stand while I unpacked and cleaned a bit. Today we are going to hang a few more things on the wall and then our apartment will be pretty much put together. I need to develop a few wedding pictures for some frames I got to put in the living room, so I will do that this week when we do our big grocery shopping trip.
I worked all day yesterday and will work all day today, but tomorrow it's only 8-12 and then we have Thursday off. I will probably work like 3/4 of the day on Friday. Break goes too fast, I can't believe we have to go back to school on Monday. I'm definitely not ready for that! Jason has been working hard on finishing his independent study classes while I am at work because his work doesn't go through the break. We should find out soon which sections he has for his TA job next semester. It should be a good amount of hours for him because he has hard classes next semester and his grades really matter if he decides to go into accounting, so we don't want him to work too much. Hopefully both of our classes turn out good for next semester. I guess we'll see.
I am still trying to make us an appointment to get fingerprinted because that is the first step in the long process to becoming foster parents. The lady is really hard to get a hold of and there are not very many times available to have it done, so it's been a challenge. That's about all that's going on with us right now. I will post pictures of our trip soon. There was tons of snow and it was great to get to see all our nieces. Hailey and Layla are getting so big too! They are so cute, Layla likes to follow Hailey around and they seem to have fun together.
