Jam packed January

It's the end of January already so here's a nice little recap. We came home from Christmas with our families at the very beginning of the month and got to go to Disneyland while they still had their Christmas decorations up. We went on Small World which is the coolest at Christmas time and had a great evening just hanging out in the park.

On the fourteenth one of my greatest friends got married in Redlands and had her reception the same night. I got to spend some time with friends that I haven't seen in a good while and over all had a great time. The newlyweds moved to Utah but are only 20 minutes away from my grandma's farm so when We go visit her we'll be able to visit my friend and her new husband as well!

The next day we went to church with family down the hill to her my cousin speak before going on her mission. Courtney is one of my closest cousins and I will definitely miss her as she serves the Lord in Chocabamba, Bolivia.

All the while Ryan worked taking down the Christmas lights that he'd put up previous to the holiday. He is still taking down lights! Today he is doing a house by himself and then on Thursday the biggest house they put lights on will get taken down.

Last week Ryan started school and he thinks he's in for a "fun" semester. He has two math classes, a physics class, a lab and a circuitry class, I think that's all but it sure is a full schedule. Hopefully in the free time he does have he'll find a job, hopefully I will too!

Also last week, we visited Ryan's family while his mom was in the hospital. She left the same day she was admitted and as far as we know she is doing a lot better then she was before going to the hospital.

I'm still waiting to start school in a couple weeks but I occupy my time by reading, scrapbooking or riding my bike places. I am definitely ready to get dancing and learning full-time again!

Not because it's New Years.

I decided today to write a post but not because it is New Year's. I have always wanted to keep this more up to date and have been thinking about it more recently so here goes.

Ryan and I each finished our semesters pretty well. I had a very good semester grade wise but I guess I wouldn't be much of a dance major if I couldn't get an A in my dance classes. Ryan faired the same and we are both happy to have a break before going another 16 weeks.

Our Christmas was wonderful. We got to spend some time with my mom for her birthday by surprising her for dinner with everyone else in our family. Then we spent a couple days in Vegas with Ryan's family. Christmas eve we came back to my parents and had a great time spending a couple of days there and doing many activities. Then we came up to Barstow to spend a couple days here. It's been relaxing and a lot of fun but we are almost ready to be home again.

I am not going to make any promises but I surely hope that I will keep up with this more this year!
