so i meant to do this a few days ago, but ran out of time. steve was working christmas eve and christmas. i somehow scored both days off, but christmas just isn't the same with me and marley and no steve. so maybe next year will be our actual first christmas TOGETHER. but with our jobs...who knows?
last night we went to steve's brothers house for a nice dinner and gift exchange. of course, i didn't take one stinking photo the entire time and have nothing to show for christmas.
so i give you these videos. i really love christmas and all it stands for. but i feel like i just didn't have it together this year. so i am ready to put this one behind me and have bigger hopes for being more on top of things next year. on the brighter side, being behind on the commercialism of the holiday did give me more time to pay attention to what christmas really means though.
and now, i give you our holiday sentiments. from our home to yours. enjoy!

california love
i just booked 2 tickets to california for the beginning of january. one of steve's best friends that he grew up with is gettin' hitched so we are going to go down and take part in the festivities. i am so excited to be back in california. we haven't been since our wedding. simply too long i tell you.
don't get me wrong. i do love the winter and the snow and the cold, but this trip is coming at a perfect time. we can both take a break from work, the cold, our everyday "stuff" that keeps us busy, and just relax in the warmth. go for a walk on the beach. smell the ocean air. and eat some gooood eats that we don't have here in utah. we're going to have a blast!
now if we can just find some tickets to the lake show while we are there...

picture of the day
the other day we came home from church and laid on the bed to rest for a bit. i invited marley up on the bed to lay with us and i must have dozed off.
i'm not sure how this was comfortable enough a position to sleep in, but it was.
man i love our dog.

the temple square thing
tonight steve and i, along with my mom, his mom, my sister, her kids, and our niece went downtown to see the annual "lights at temple square". it started out with a yummy dinner at california pizza kitchen at the gateway. then we grabbed some cookies and hot chocolate and jumped on trax to temple square.
it's something we do every year and every year the lights are the same, but every year it is so dang beautiful. the temple alone is gorgeous, and add to it the lights and christmas cheer, and it is that much better. despite the cold, we enjoyed our treats, the lights, and the company.
here are some pictures to enjoy...until next year.

now i get it
so tonight was supposed to be dinner and shooting some pool with my sister night, but after eating dinner while waiting for a pool table to open up, and at 9:30pm, no table was open yet, we decided to see if there was a movie playing. of course, twilight was playing like every 10 minutes at the theater, so we decided to see that. my sister is all about these books/movies, so she had already seen it about 3 times, but was more than willing to see it again, for steve and my's benefit. we saw the first one and enjoyed it, but i was not about to stay up until midnight to sit through this one. especially since the 9:55pm showing is as late as i have been up in quite some time.
nonetheless though, we thoroughly enjoyed new moon, more than the first twilight episode. i'm on the edge of my seat in anticipation for the next one. and to make it even better, i found out the next movie comes out this summer. sweet deal. still not going to buy tickets in advance and still not going to see it at midnight the night it opens though. but i will see it. eventually. i have to. because after this movie, i am now OFFICIALLY.....TEAM JACOB. and so is steve. i mean, i know the kid is only like 16, and i could be put away for a very long, long time for doing some of the things that ran through my mind when i saw him take his shirt off in this movie, but he's "somewhat beautiful" :) and just plain old better than edward.
so there. i've chosen my side. and now i am off to dream about the excitement to come in the next chapter of this twilight saga...
