hi-lights of our holidays?
going to see "despicable me" at the cheap seats and then using our dq gift card from my grandma & grandpa! (thank you! such a good treat!)
brian acing all of his finals. he's a little smarty pants and i'm a proud wife. he's doing really well, and we are ever so glad. high marks = co-op program!
good roads to travel on. bad roads are scary in our tiny car. it weighs like 57 pounds.
cheese. lots of it. cheese with prosciutto and basil rolled into it. so. good. brians dad served his mission in italy and knows pretty much everything there is to know about good cheese.
games. games into the early morning.
going to see "honk!" at the globe theatre on christmas eve. my family knows how much i theatre, theatre at the globe theatre, and got brian and i tickets. it was so fun! the costumes were silly and the songs were delightful. thanks family!

lots of visiting.
the fact that i got three messages on my phone from someone trying to get a hold of "ron" or "jenn". awesome.
getting to hang out with brian without school work hanging over his head. finally!
the Christmas nativity on Christmas eve.
joviah following brian around for an entire week, saying his name. "bri? bri? bri?" brian goes to the bathroom. joviah stands outside the door. "bri? bri? bri?" brian sits down to eat dinner. joviah nearly climbs out of her high chair just to get a good look. "bri? bri? bri?" so cute.
being with my new family and learning new Christmas traditions!

It was all one mission when my dad served. '69-'71
