This little story....

I've been really slacking on the blog lately and I feel like I should really do a good update of what we've been doing for the past month. It's really been crazy, but luckily, we made it! :) We're almost a week into our winter break and we've been making the most of it. :) Here is a picture update of life lately. :)

We've tried several times to make Chapati. Bri says it's not right,
but I always think it tastes good. :) 

Bri's volleyball team won in intramurals. :)
He's pretty proud of his new shirt...

We dressed up as Mary Poppins and Burt for our ward's
Halloween party. :) 

I even made my own hat. :) 

Bri was a perfect Burt. :) 

We also got to babysit Kai a few times. :)
This is him and Bri bonding...:)

A couple of exciting things happened for Bri and I this semester.
 I finally finished and installed my show! :) It was such
a big accomplishment for me and I felt really good about it. :)
I'll post more pictures later.
And Bri accepted an internship with Walmart for the summer.
It's going to be such a great opportunity for him
and I've been told that we'll love Arkansas. :) 

We also celebrated our first anniversary on the 15th. Oh man, this year went by crazy fast...:)

Bri was very sweet and gave me this yummy fruit bouquet and surprised me
with a night in Heber/Midway,
just like our honeymoon. :) 

We went to Tarahumarah, which is a delicious Mexican
restaurant that we ate at on our honeymoon. 

Bri reserved us a penthouse suite,
which was soo nice and beautiful. :)
He also reserved us a couple's massage for
the next morning. It was so fun and relaxing. :)

I love him. :) 

This was our beautiful view. :)

I had to decorate a little bit for Christmas. It was much more
fun than studying for finals. :)
That table cloth is one we got from Grandma Clark
it felt perfect for Christmas. :)

This is the Nativity set that we got in Kenya last Christmas.
I was so excited to finally display it. 

This was our makeshift Christmas corner. :) 

These are the stockings that Grandma Curtis made for us. Bri's had his since he was born and I got one when we got married. :) It's such a fun and sweet tradition. :) I love them. :) 

I loved wrapping all of our gifts. :) 

We made some treats for some of our friends. I love this Christmas quote by President Monson. 

I decided to be crafty and make my own tags. I should have been studying for finals, but this was definitely more fun. :) 

We went to see the lights at temple square. A tradition that I hope we keep as long as we're in Utah. It's such a beautiful place. :) 

We had Haylee take some anniversary/Christmas pictures for us. It's been such a good and fast year. We've definitely been very blessed and I'm excited for the year to come. :)
