Christmas!

This is kind of late, but we had a fantastic Christmas this year!  We were so lucky to be able to go out to St. Louis and spend just over a week with Jeff's entire family!  We had a blast!  

Jeff actually ended up getting called into work so he had to fly all the way back to Palm Springs for a couple days just to sit and be on call.  We are very blessed though because they let him leave a few hours early so that he could make it back to St. Louis for Christmas.  We picked him up about 11 o'clock on Christmas Eve night Ha ha!  

He's one lucky duck.  He's at the bottom of the seniority list yet he was able to spend Thanksgiving and Christmas with me and our families!

Home Sweet Home

Well it's officially official.... We are back in UTAH!  For good :)  Well, at least for the foreseeable future.

Jeff is still based in Palm Springs at least through January, and it may be 2 to 3 more months even, but we're crossing our fingers that a he will be transferred to Salt Lake soon.  But for now he will be commuting... not so ideal, but once again we're hoping it won't be for very long.  As for now we're looking for a place to live and a job for me.  

We are very happy to be back in Utah, but I have to admit..... (and anyone who talked to me before we decided to move knew how anti-moving to California I had been and wouldn't believe that I'm actually saying this...) .... I miss california! :)  

But it is nice to be back, and having snow on the ground definitely makes it feel more like Christmas that's for sure!

A Quick Trip: D.C.

A few weeks ago we took a quick trip out to Virginia to visit Jeff's grandparents!  It was great to see them and they live pretty close to Washington D.C. so we got to take a day trip into the city.  It was my first time going to D.C. and I LOVED it!!  You always see those monuments in movies and on t.v. but it was awesome to actually see them in person!



The World War II Memorial was pretty cool!

We Love Utah!!! :)





That's one big Abe.


We decided to get in our exercise and walk over to the Arlington Cemetery, and I'm indeed glad we did.  It was breathtaking.

This picture only captures a very, very, very small number of the amount of headstones that cover the grounds...

Last stop:  FDR Memorial


We didn't actually make it out to the Jefferson Memorial but I got a pic of it
