MATCH DAY!!!

Drumroll Please!!
First we made it to match day!! That is HUGE! I love that we are only 4 months away from graduation!!

We did it! We matched to Casper, WY...it was our #1 choice and we are absolutely thrilled to be moving there. Spreading the news made me feel like we were pregnant. Seriously, you tell your family first and then your close friends and then everyone!

I feel so blessed that the Lord has heard my prayers and answered them. This will give me an opportunity to live close to old friends and to my family. Also that we are going somewhere that Mike will be extremely happy. That is what worried me the most. He wasn't as thrilled about any of the other programs, but when he went to Casper he instantly loved it. I look forward to our new adventure after graduation!!

J's soccer.....GO ROCKETS

winter season has started and we put J in soccer!! This was his first game. He has gotten so much better since this! 

His team stretching! GO ROCKETS

Christmas 2011

Mike got home from Casper 3 days before Christmas. For the first couple days we were just enjoying having him home and getting ready for Christmas. 

For Christmas Eve we went over to Mike's parents house to see them and his dad. He had surgery a week before and we wanted to go visit.

Here is E by their Christmas Tree...

 Now this is the first "real" Santa time we have had...Mike got his first experience putting together a bike for J the night before!! What a great santa!!

 The best part about having little kids is they don't want to wake you up early on Christmas morning. I believe we woke up at 7 and opened presents...here are the kiddos waiting to come down!

 J and E in their Christmas clothes...MERRY CHRISTMAS

 I believe everyone got what they wanted. I got Mike a pair of TOMS and his PS3 game that he wanted. He got me a sewing machine!!! and his mom got me a bread maker! Late that day we headed over to John and Brenda's house for games and dinner/dessert. I made these brownie bite Santa hats! So cute and SO YUMMY! I saw them on pinterest!

Mike's last rotation was Casper, WY!! And he absolutely LOVED it! Here are some pictures from his 3 weeks there
