Christmas and the Eve

On Christmas Eve we hung at our house after church.  Here is a video of us performing the 12 days of Christmas led by the famous Uncle Lyle!

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!!! We sure did.  The Bauers Kids are here to visit now so more pics are coming soon!

Las Vegas

This past weekend my team went to Las Vegas for a b-ball tournament.  Sadly, we lost both of our games but still had a fun trip, touring hotels, going to restaurants, sleeping (catching up after a busy semester :), and just laughing a lot! I am so grateful to be a part of this team.  The girls are so sweet to me. 

We got to ride this roller coaster in the New York New York part of the Strip.  It goes all around the buildings.

m&m's debut

A few weeks back there was a benefit concert for a family in need from our church. It is amazing how much talent our church has. Lots of people performed, including this cute couple. When they were done singing the MC sang "Can you feel the love tonight?" We could. Can you?

"Is this picture for the blog?"

Last Saturday I got to be Matt's date for Michelle and Jeff's wedding. I had I blast hanging with Matt and his fam.

access: Two weekends ago we had our access meeting... we set up all day for the meeting to be held outside. It turned out great!practice

We had gourmet burgers and then, after the message, sat around bonfires and made s'mores

date night: Last weekend Matt took me on a date down by the Beach. We played putt-putt and probably laughed over half the time! Then we walked on the beach.

He drew me a picture in the sand and then chased around this little crab.

And Happy Birthday to my Courter Boy today! The big 21!!! I am continually blessed by your friendship Matt. Thank you for asking me to court :)
