It's The Most Wonderful Time of The Year!!!

Whew it's been a really really long time!!! But tons of things have happened since I last posted! We moved to Mesa, both have different jobs, Lowe's getting bigger than ever, found out we've got another niece/nephew on the way and it's already 5 days into December!!! Craziness!!!

Tyler got a different job within Wells Fargo up here in Tempe so I quit my job in Tucson (miss all my old co-workers!!!), we rented out our house in Tucson, found a nice 4 bedroom with a big backyard here in Mesa, I got a new job in a Level II NICU and we're now all settled in and life's moving on!

The ward we moved into has been absolutely awesome! We had like 8 or 9 guys from the Elder's Quorum show up to help us move all our stuff into the house so it only took about 45 minutes to do so. Than the Bishop and the Elder's Quorum president both showed up (at different times) later in the day to make sure we had gotten help and moved in alright. Than the next day at church, we had more people come and introduce themselves and welcome us to the area/ward than any other ward. It was pretty different than any other move we've had and it's been great. We also got to speak in this new ward already...it's been 7 years and I think 5 or 6 ward changes for me since I've had to speak last! Guess my luck ran out!

Our amazing friend Beka, (lowephotos.info), did some more amazing pictures for us! Here are a few of my favorite from our family shoot. Lowe is getting so big and is always so active that he didn't sit still for many of the pictures but we still got plenty of awesome pictures!






We took some re-wedding ones later that same day...it's a term I made up but since so many people have gotten married between when Tyler and I did (6 years ago!!!) I decided that I wanted some awesome wedding pictures too. The ones we got were alright but I was getting more and more jealous of everyone elses so I stuffed myself back into my wedding dress...yes, 6 years and 1 baby later it still fit...got Tyler back into a tux and we went and took pictures around the Mesa Temple all over again. Once we get those back, I will definitly be posting a few of those :)
Tyler and I celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary on the 11th of November. Love you just as much as when we got married little you!
Over the Thanksgiving weekend, my good friend Angela was down from Flagstaff so we had a little GNO...Macaroni Grill and than off to the theaters to see Harry Potter 7, Part 1. It was really really really good. So good in fact, that it made me want to re-read all the books again (for like the 3rd or 4th or 5th time all over again I think...maybe more than that I'm sure!). Funny thing is, that's the latest I've been out in who knows how long! We didn't get home until around midnight...ahh, GNO...must plan more of you!!!
Christmas is my absolute favorite time of the year and I just can't wait to go play in the snow in Idaho this year. We're wondering how Lowe's going to react to it...hopefully he'll have loads of fun! And I am going to be making my ridiculous loads of Christmas goodies starting this week...a few tried and true recipes along with some new and exciting ones! Too bad Wonka Vision isn't real or everyone could have some of the goodies...I guess pictures and a vivid imagination are going to have to do for some! Sorry!!!
