A Little Bit of This and a Little Bit of That

After our wonderful trip to Mexico, the last couple of weeks in Provo were kind of a blur. We had the last week of classes, finals, Christmas, and then we packed our things and moved to New Mexico. It all went so fast we were disappointed that we did not get to say our proper goodbyes. I hope that nobody is offended, it was a crazy time. Now we are here living in New Mexico, and adjusting to a whole new way of life. Troy is working for his dad at an insurance agency, and is really liking the work so far. I am now graduated and am actually keeping really busy, but I could not really pinpoint what has kept me so busy. I hate it when that happens. We have been looking for a place to live, and hope to be settled somewhere before this little boy comes. I am starting to miss the easy Provo life where everything was kind of mapped out for us, but I guess we all have to grow up sometime. We also both miss friends and family that are there, but it has been really fun to be close to Troy's family. One thing that I have really enjoyed about being here is the mild Winter days. This past week we had days in the 50's and 60's. I am not sure how long that will last, but I am not complaining one bit. I am putting a couple of pictures of Christmas that we had at my sister Val's house. They are priceless, and I could not pass the chance to post them.

P.S. WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE VISITORS!!This is me with Mary and Joseph (Abby and Will) before the big show got started.

Mary riding in on the donkey, with Joseph by her side. (Val playing a wonderful donkey). Abby and Will were both so serious and respectful. It was so cute. We had a wonderful Christmas with Val and Jake and their family, and were so thankful that they had us come up to spend this time with them.

Mexico

I don't think that it is necessary for me to tell you that I have been behind on my posts. Nonetheless, I am just getting around to posting about our Mexico Cruise Trip. There is much to catch up on, but it is too overwhelming so let's just take one step at a time here. I only have a few pics, so the rest are stolen from others blogs (thanks those of you who are good about taking pictures)!! Enjoy.
Nothing like some fresh coconuts.

Formal dinner night with Grant and Brittany. I may look like I am nine months pregnant in this picture, but don't worry, I am only 4. P.S. I also had to brag about my friend Brittany's skills because she did make the amazing dress that she is wearing in this picture.Such good looking boys. Especially the one front and center. Let me preface this photo, it was before the money dive that Platinum had, which explains Ricki's serious game face. The next two photos are of the boys participating in the money dive.
If this picture does not make your day, then I don't know what does. Troy is pushing off of another guys head in the money dive. Go big or go home! (thanks for the pic.Katie)

Love love these girls and already miss you dearly. We had such a fun time on this cruise getting to spend time with some of our best friends. Here is to hoping for an annual BFF's trip.... Just throwing the idea out there.
