Its 2010!!!

I can't believe its been 3 months since my last post!!! For shame!!!

The holidays were terrific! I can't believe how wonderfully therapeutic going back to Nebraska was. I've now made the decision that Omaha wouldn't be such a bad place to live, as long as I could travel out of there at any moment I wished! I'll work on that second part as good as I can.

The main thing I worried about Christmas WAS: (can anyone guess?) presents! This was Ben and my first Christmas together and I couldn't stop worrying that one of us would buy more gifts for the other. And the most wonderful thing happened - we ended up getting the same exact number of gifts! Score! I didn't even mind so much getting snowed in for four days. The having to leave part was the hardest, but that just gets me more eager to get back there.

Now that both Ben and I are working full-time and going to school full-time we are busier then ever! Ben works monday, wedsnday, friday - goes to school tuesday thursday and is helping a friend of ours re-design a local computer/video game store. I go to school monday, wedsnday, friday - work tuesday thursday - have started writing for a local Wedding Magazine (their fashion and trends column, woot woot) and am in the primary presidency!!! Phew, i told ya we were busy. Some days i kiss him good morning/goodbye as he's still asleep and he comes home only to kiss me goodnight/hello as I'm asleep.

Absence makes that heart grow fonder and the texting bill up! We did however have a FANTASTIC date saturday night. We got ourselves looking mighty good and went to one of my favorite Idaho restaurants called 'Jonny Carinos'. Its really good italian food and is probably the nicest place to eat out in Idaho Falls. We had italian fire-sticks, cesar salad, warm bread, fettuccine Alfredo, and cheesecake, with a shirley temple to wash it all down. Its like grandma G says, "give her cheap food and she'll take two bites, but go to a nice place and she'll get your money's worth!" And the best part is Jonny Carinos is trying to compete with Applebee's 2 can dine for $20 so our whole meal was only $27!!! What a great date!

I'll make sure to get some pictures up soon soon soon! We're very excited for michael & cris' plus one and can't tell you how much we miss and love all of you! If you ever need anything we're a phone call away!
