First of all, Buzz graduated! His last semester was surprisingly not too hard and he seemed a little skeptical that perhaps he was forgetting to do something; after all, your last semester in college is usually one of your hardest right? However, he graduated with flying colors and I am so proud of the hard work that he has put into getting his Bachelor's. Next stop for him, big boy school!

| What a beautiful man I have! |
Next came Christmas! I THOUGHT that we had both decided that we weren't going to get each other any gifts this year, due to our lack of funds. But of course, my awesome Buzz (who is, might I add, washing the dishes in the sink at this very moment) got me some beautiful boots that I have had my eye on for a while. I am one lucky girl!
Spencer added to the Christmas festivities by coming home from his mission the day after Christmas! It was a really neat experience to go to the Pocatello airport and watch him get off the plane. He is still the same old Spence, but he has also changed a lot (for the better), and sometimes I catch myself thinking, "who are you and what have you done with my brother?". I'm super proud of him though and am so happy that he had a positive experience. It was his first time meeting Buzz too, so that was kind of funny. I was worried it was going to be awkward, but luckily I was very wrong.
Next big thing was our move. Only a week after Christmas ended we were packing up our little apartment in Rexburg and moving to the huge city of Idaho Falls. It took me a while, but I was finally able to find a complex that had a 6 month lease. We like our new place a lot and I really feel blessed and that our Heavenly Father is looking our for us. We have unpacked the essentials, but for the most part, most of our stuff is still in boxes, seeing as we are going to be moving AGAIN in July to Oregon-land.
As a side note, our fish (Timothy and Squish) barely survived the move. Their fish tank broke and it was all I could do to scoop the little rascals into a Nalgene until we could find them a new home. Needless to say, they were pretty happy when we got them into a tank that wasn't quite so squished.
So that's where we are right now. The new year has started. I went back to work. Buzz is trying to find a job right now before he bashes his head against a wall in boredom. And we joined a gym. Say what?!? Yep. I've never been a member of a gym before and I feel kinda cool...we'll see how cool I feel about it after a week of waking up early. But Buzz and I are trying to be kinder to our bodies, and I for one am excited to feel good looking at myself in the mirror again. Sure, the gym is a little bit more money than we wanted to pay each month, but we're committed and I hope that we go enough to make it worth it.
So here's to 2014! May it be full of fun, completed goals, and more love.
