Time for a New One.

Well Here is my Tri annual update. It has bee a great Christmas break. Here are some of the things that we did. We went to cut down our own Christmas tree for the 2nd year, this time we went with Chad and Eryn, which was real fun. I think that we went to the wrong place because neither of us could find a good tree. After literally hours of searching I found one that look pretty good. Brady came over to cut it down and low and behold the saw wouldn't start up. So after about 20 minutes of trying it worked (thank goodness). Then Chad and Eryn found theirs so Brady went off to cut theirs down and left me with the tree in the mountains all alone, and it was now dark, I wasn't too thrilled. When we came home I was looking forward to putting up the tree and bring in some Christmas spirit, but once we put it up I didn't feel anything but laughter because it was HUGE, (the picture below doesn't do it justice.) I couldn't even walk by it with out hitting it and the pine needles were the pokiest ones I have ever felt. But anyway it did it's job and was a great Christmas Tree.
I thought that I would put up some Pics of Brady's loves in his life, his 1946 DeSoto and His "miss Kitty". You can learn more about "miss Kitty'' on Facebook. Yeah Facebook.....?
For Christmas my Parents look us to Hawaii, Not bad huh? It was such a wonderful vacation, I think the best part was reuniting with my husband on my first day, Brady went 4 days earlier with my dad to watch the pipeline masters surfing competition, he got to go because all his finals were done and I still had 5. I have the hardest time whenever he leaves me for a trip and this was no exception. I guess that show how much I love him and need him in my life..The Hawaii trip, it was so much fun! I loved not having a worry in the world. We did everything what I wanted to do. We went to my new favorite beach Kialua, which happens to be Pres. Obama's
favorite too, he went to Hawaii one week after we did, and my cousin said that they shut down a mile each way of where ever Obama is for security reasons, they say that it is nuts when he comes, and I am glad I missed that. But anyway, we went surfing at Waikiki, saw a lot of turtles We went to PCC Brady got called up by the Samoan guy to drink his coconut milk, and made some joke about Brady which was pretty entertaining. While we were there Brady got a little taste of his mission again. He saw one of the missionaries he served with there, and we were lucky enough to hunt him down to take a picture with him, and the picture of us in from of the huge boat, well Brady knew the guy that carved that, he said he is one of the last master wood carvers in New Zealand. Brady and I were lucky enough to be chosen to go dance with the Fijian (sorry Blurry Picture). That was great Fun. We went on some fun hikes (the windy pictures) and we actually got scuba certified before this so we had some way fun scuba dives but that is for a later post. All in all it was a great Christmas gift and vacation. Thanks mom and dad. We love and appreciate you.

Me, Brady, and DeSot
