For Thanksgiving, I got the opportunity to play some tackle football. I haven't suitted up in pads since 2002, so strapping on the protective gear was reminesent for me and scary for Katie. I loved it.






After we put away the football and shortly after the turkey was nestled comfortably in our tummies, Katie and I packed up our first apartment and headed back to good ole' Spanish Fork. It was a bitter/sweet move. Here are some preliminary pictures of our new place:


Spare Room (soon to be baby room!)


Kitchen (yep that's carpet)


Living Room


Bedroom


Den


Jake-Happy :)


Katie-Sad :(

As you can see, me and Katie experienced different emotions with moving. Katie was sad to leave the comfort of having the Brysons so near. It was great to live near them and Katie still misses Amber. I'm getting tired of watching our own movies, but excited to save a little money (and the extra space is great!).

The first night in the mortuary was a tough one, but we're getting used to it and we've even decorated for Christmas. Everytime we walk in our door, we're welcomed with the warming smell of pine and the glimmering lights from three different Christmas trees. We just need snow now.

We're on day 4 of our 15 day emprisonment in our own apartment. We had to get all our Christmas shopping done today because we didn't know if we would able to get it done with finals coming up and our commitment to be home from 5 pm to 9 am everyday through the 18th. The upside is that we'll be free from the 18th through the holidays up to our anniversary on the 3rd.


Life is great.
