I Know.... its been forever!!

Ok, so I know that its been over a month since I have updated my blog, deepest apologies. But here the deal, Jacob is FINALLY home for good from Vernal and I now have a life and things to do after work besides go to the library and be a loser. We also ordered a computer the day after Thanksgiving and we just got it yesterday (24th) so now is the day that I become the great blogger again. I have so much to blog about, seems like quite a bit has actually happened in the past month, but maybe i'll just do a brief overview and try to interject a few pics here and there. The first bigger thing is probably Thanksgiving. We celebrated this year with Jacob's family and had a declicious meal at his mom's house followed by a few intense games of Settlers of Catan. If you havent played this, you should really look into it. Its totally fun, kind of like Risk, but much more fun! My family is hooked and now so is Jacob's.


Jacob and Me on Thanksgiving

We ended up staying up till like 1 AM playing WII and finally decided to go to bed to just wake up 1 1/2 hrs. later to hit the early morning shopping! Me, Jacob and his sister Alisha trecked down to Orem and arrived at Target for the early morning shopping at 3:30 AM!! We were probably like 30th in line and froze our butts off! I usually go with all my fam in South Jordan, but since I had to work at the bank this year at 8:30, we just went to Target and got the things we really wanted.


Me and Jacob freezing our bums off!

Jacob wasnt to happy about the 3 hour freeze, but once we made a clean sweep in Target and got all the things we wanted for an unbelievable price, he agreed that it was totally worth it! We walked away with a GPS, guitar hero with 2 guitars for the WII, Ihome, several $3 DVD's and a portable DVD player.... Merry early Christmas to us! We had so many leftover gift cards from our wedding it just worked out perfect!

In December we set out to take pictures to put on our Christmas card and this is what we ran into....

If any of you know my husband, we ended up taking more pictures of the deer then we did for our Christmas Card. It was crazy though, cuz we were just up in Heber and there was like a flock of 30 deer. It was fun to see Bucks up close finally and take some fun pics. We did get a pic for our Christmas card and this is what we chose.... :)


We also attended the anual BINGO Newbold family Christmas party and it was Jacob's first time! We headed down to South Jordan in the dreaded snow, but had a great time. Since Jacob has never been before he didnt know we make the new person in the family sit on Santa's lap.... and this year was his turn! Let me tell you, he was so embarrased, and maybe even a little mad at me! lol jk! I have never seen him that shade of red! Here is the best pic I could get...


We then played BINGO and kicked some serious butt. We actually both didnt do so well this year, but it was still alot of fun! Jacob thought it was a little weird we played BINGO at a family christmas party, but now that he knows how fun it is.... its just totally normal. haha! Well, this post is long enough... I shall blog about Christmas tomorrow! Night!
