December...Phase 1

This is our new place:) It's just a bunch of dirt! I never knew I would love dirt so much!

It's finally true....we're gettin a house!

We are sooo excited! We are in the process of building a brand new home in West Haven, Utah. It is an amazing process and so far really fun! When we found out we got it, I told James I had never felt like rolling around in dirt before now....it's our dirt!!! The home will be finished at the end of April the day before James' birthday! We will be updating and taking lots of pictures....we are hoping everything works out great!

Pumpkin Pie Anyone?

Parent teacher conferences are winding down now for both James and I. James finished his last week, and I finished this morning. Twenty six conferences later...my voice is a little tender and hoarse. I am looking forward to the weekend, James and I are going to hang out with some friends and hopefully relax!
We are spending Thanksgiving with the Campbell Family this year. However, the Wardle Family will be spending Thanksgiving in Utah too! We are soo excited to spend time with both families and are eagerly waiting the arrival of "cookie"! It should be a blast with late night runs to the Dell Taco, after Thanksgiving Day shopping ritual, and late night movie runs to the redbox. I was debating making a homemade pie, but James started laughing and I have decided for that there will be no special Thanksgiving Pie! haha! Reminds me when I tried making one in college, and my dad was the only brave soul willing to try it, and by the look on his face would be his last time being the brave soul! haha...my family never let's me live that one down.

Our 1st Blog Entry

So we are very new to this blog thing! James and I have been so busy with work it is unreal. We are both teaching 3rd and 2nd grade, and going to school at night. I am lucky enough to only have to go on Tuesday night; however, James has class Friday night and Saturday morning. This stinks for him and me! Anyhow, we are looking forward to our Provo and Rexburg visits. Love you all!
