It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas...

I love it! I love seeing everyone hustle and bustle around the mall, doing last minute shopping, all bundled up. Candy cane hot cocoa. Our beautiful blue tree. The stockings are hung. The delicate snowflakes. SANTA. Remembering our dear Savior's birth. Everyone being kinder to one another. Buying gifts for loved ones, excited to see their faces. Christmas lights. Families coming together. Everything just seems magical. I wish it could be Christmas time all year long.

Can you tell I'm excited? Anyways, an update of our busy lives. Jaren had his first day of his job at America First credit union. He's liking it so far. I'm still enjoying my job at the eye clinic in the mall. I've actually been able to perform tests on patients. I feel like such a big kid when I do ha ha. And my wonderful, patient husband was so helpful by letting me practice on him. Even that annoying test we all hate, where a puff of air goes in your eyes. I've learned a lot and enjoy the people I work with.

Some exciting things that happened this past week was we went to the festival of trees in SLC, or Sandy whatever lol. For those who don't know what it is, it's an event where families can make trees for loved ones who are sick, or have passed away, and people can bid on the trees towards the cause. There are some pretty fantastic trees! People get really creative! And the gingerbread houses are pretty cool too. My favorite was the UP! gingerbread house where they used jellybeans for balloons. SO cute! If I had time and was patient, I think I would make an Up gingerbread house. It was a magical day with my husband.

Tonight we bought some fun lil' gifts for friends. We don't have a big spending amount, as we are newlyweds and college kids, but it's the thought that counts :) . Well there's the rundown, we've mostly been keeping busy with work.

Upcoming and exciting news: temple square lights with friends Saturday, family pix with Santa *including Gup* Monday ha ha, Grandma and Grandpa coming next Thursday, my family is coming is 12 days!!!!, and Christmas is right around the corner.
until next time.....
Love, Jess
