Belated Update (yet again)

Alright, so I know I'm still not blogging a lot.... oh well, life goes on. This is what we've been doing the last two months!

Jeff makes the sleeveless jersey look good

So far we've split a lot of games, but Jeff's been doing really well and it's been fun watching him :)

Jeff's left hand is taped up because he sliced the top of his knuckles against the spindle that holds the net up at the top of the post during a game- he ended up getting 6 stitches!!!

Jeff's family comes up a lot to visit and watch him play

Jeff and Daniel Wright

We were able to meet up with Daniel and Melissa after a game

Other than volleyball, I've been busy with school, work, and research. In school I'm working on a domestic abuse project assessing attitudes and awareness at BYU about incidents of domestic abuse. Jeff and I have also been busy volunteering at the mental hospital for our Abnormal Psychology class.

P.S.

I've also turned one year older. 22.

woohoo.

Christmas!

This Christmas was a good one. Everyone came home! Chris was able to find a flight after his was cancelled due to a massive storm on the East Coast- Jordan and Julie were able to make it out as well. It was nice to have everyone home for at least a week. The best thing to come out of this week other than being able to spend time with the fam? My new phone. For the past 5 months my phone has been broken. The only thing I could do with it was text- but now I have a phone I can actually talk on!

Isn't it pretty?

It slides
I also got a new coat-it's cute

I also loved this :)

Still Here!

Sooooooooooo....Haven't exactly been in the postin' mood lately, But I am happy to report that Jeff and I got through Finals alive! We'll see how well we did in a few days, but until then I'm determined to be hopefull that my all A's and one B stayed in tact through all of the end of term papers and tests. Decemeber was a good month despite having crazy deadlines-


-I finished my tuturing at Dixon Middle School


- Finished my LAST Fall semester at BYU


-Met up with the other Volleyball Couples for Christmas fun


-Started the process to volunteer at a battered women's shelter


-Went to Boise for Christmas!

While I don't have documentation of most of these things, I do have pictures of our trip to Boise which was cut short due to Jeff having to be back in Provo for volleyball practice. :(

Boise!

Erin and I were in a Bakin' Mood- Jeff was in an eatin' mood
This proved to be a little difficult for me :(

But in the end they turned out alright

and they were delicious- chocolate caramel cookies with white chocolate drizzle!

Then we moved onto peanut butter chocolate balls



And then the snowflakes cookie balls

We were very proud of ourselves :)

Then we made gingerbread houses....I was a little more into it

Cody and Erin's House

All of us :)

Countdown to Thanksgiving!

I'm very excited for Thanksgiving break- almost as excited as Jeff- I can't wait to relax, not worry about school and spend time watching volleyball, eating, shopping, and watching football. Because of Jeff's volleyball tournament, we'll be going down early so this is my last FULL week of school before we leave! I CANNOT WAIT- I also have a lot to get done before we leave...shoot. Pretty sure I have three papers and two tests to fit in during the next week and a half :( oh well- it will soon be over and then it will be worth it to relax in Vegassssssss!
