Merry Christmas!

Hello everyone! I have not been able to get into my blog for awhile because of some computer problems i have been having so i thought i would just update everyone on what we have been up to in the past few months!
Well we are finally settled into our new house and we love it! its a little bit far from things, but we like it anyway! We also found a renter for our Draper house which was a complete anwer to our prayers and i think we got lucky with our renter because she has been easy to deal with and is one of the nicest people you will meet. It was just meant to be.
In October Mike and I went on a little vacation to yellowstone for his birthday. We stayed in West Yellowstone, which is in Montana. It was so fun to get away and just be the two of us. I am very lucky to have a best friend like him. Anyway, while we were there we checked out all the hot pots or "stinkies" as we like to call them. We also saw a ton of wildlife including elk, buffalo, wolves and a first for both of us, a bear!! We both had never seen one in the wild before and were so excited when we finally did! The only bad thing was that we couldnt really get any good pictures because he was behind some trees. We also went into Jackson Hole and had alot of fun looking at all the shops. I love yellowstone and we decided to make that trip a tradition.
We also had a very fun Halloween we dressed up and went to a party at my Aunt`s and then we all headed up to Park City for the weekend and that was alot of fun! I love my family we have so much fun together.
Also the night we went to my aunt`s i had let Mr. Kitty outside to play for awhile and he never came back. I was heart broken! i stayed up all night worried about him and kept driving around the neighborhood that night, but with no luck. I still miss him alot, I feel like i lost my 2yr old son or something. You dont realize how much they actually become a part of your family till their gone :( Mike wasnt to torn up about it, that cat never liked him!
We had an amazing Thanksgiving. We went to Mike`s family for a bit to say hi to everyone and then went to my side of the family for dinner. November wasnt a very eventfull month.
At the beginning of this month we went to St. George with my family and did our yearly Christmas shopping trip. It was really nice to be down there. The week after we got back my cousin Emily got married. I have to say it was a little weird just because we have grown up together and she is like one of my sisters. I am so happy for her and I know she is extremely happy. Throughout the whole ceremony i was crying like a baby!
Other then that i have just been shopping and getting ready for Christmas. I still cant beleive that tomorrow is Christmas Eve. This year has flown by.
I do have to say i am very excited for the new year and to have a fresh start, but there is nothing about this past year that i would change. Here are a few goals i would like to acheive in the new year:

Start a family
Pay off our debt
Spend more time with family
Keep in touch with old friends

I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!
