Snowman!

Just a quick update! It's been snowing like crazy and both our cars "love the snow". Last night we went to dig the Infiniti out so I could get to my final in the morning. Once we felt our work was successful we turned to go inside and somehow made a snowman. Here is our finished product. (Due to lack of time and the cold temperatures we had to see fit with his size).

Let it Snow... Except on Tuesday When There's a 7 AM final

The past week has been eventful! But when is life not eventful. Friday we took off for Park City for our "free" night at Westgate resorts. Justen was not feeling well, but we still decided to go. We were almost there when I had to pull the car over for Justen. It all went downhill from there. We got to the resort and sat throught the 90 min. sales presentation while we both felt like we were gonna die. We finally got through with the presentation pretty fast(I believe it's because Justen kept telling the guy how sick we were & we looked it too!). We collected our $50 and hit the bed. What a fun way to spend your time in Park City!

I think by now we're all healthy and just in time for Christmas! Work is going well for Justen and Courtney is finishing up finals and tons of Christmas gifts for BYUB. And... there's snow! We don't mind snow when you can stay inside and drink hot coco, but driving in it... Tuesday morning at 7AM I had a final and it was snowing! I left the house at 6AM so that I could make it to BYU. I went 20 MPH down state street plowing through 3 inches of snow. I came to a light and it turned red, so I started to brake but I just kept on sliding and I almost slide right into a car turning left. However I turned left hard, yet completely running a red light! Close call.... but then comes the lights behind me! It's 6:45AM and I'm driving in the snow trying to get to BYU and I get pulled over. The cop was way nice and basically asked if I knew what happened. I said, "Ya... I ran a red light. I was braking, but I just kept sliding." He told me to slow down and walked away without even looking at my license. Crazy... but I made it to my final. Hopefully this winter will be accident free... even though I didn't start it out great!

Staying Warm Amidst the Cold

So life for us has been crazy! Thanksgiving weekend was fabulous and we had a nice retreat to Arizona! We ate our Thanksgiving Feast at Justen's cousin's house and came home full full full. The next day we celebrated Justen's 29th birthday (much to his dismay). He made a big fuss about how he hates his birthday, yet he looked like a 6 year-old boy at Christmas, so excited to open his presents! The day was just nice and relaxful with a trip to the movies and to dinner. Thanks Mom & Dad Watkins for a fabulous Thanksgiving! It was just what we needed!

This past week was very eventful! We got a washer and dryer! YAY! Needless to say we are content! Justen started a new job at Wolf Electronics and is loving playing with electronics all day long! We had our Ward Christmas Party and Stake Temple Night and ran ran ran all week long.

Cami's gradutation was this past Friday night. Mom and Dad Anderson were able to come up to celebrate. We are so proud of Cami and can't wait for her success in the real world ;) After graduation we went to dinner at Ottavio's. Mmm....

Saturday we got our Christmas Tree... We went with Cami and Jake and Dad Anderson to hunt for the perfect tree! By Golly it looks perfect in our little apartment. It really feels like Christmas now and smells like it too! I promise to post pictures of the decorated tree later.

Last night we made Gingerbread houses at Cami's. It was a ton of fun! Justen and I went with a rather traditional house. Cami and Jake however.... can you guess what it is???

Justen and I have lots of fun planned for December and love this time of year! Thanks to all our family and friends for all your love and kindness! "It's Gonna be a Christmas to Remember..."
