Valentine

I have the best valentine ever! For Valentine's day Tim whipped up one my favorite dishes, chile relleno! He learned how to make it on his mission, and it just so happens that I love Mexican food!!! What a match! And cupcakes for dessert? Perfecto!

And Here's 2010

Well, 2009 has officially come and gone... kind of sad I think, it was an awesome year! But new year new things! And 2010 already seems to have some good potential. We've outlined a few goals (not New Year's resolutions, for some reason using that title prevents me from accomplishing anything):

1. Be better journal keepers

2. Take more pictures

3. Survive school

4. Pick up a new hobby

5. Go some place new

I have a feeling #3 will occupy most of my attention, we'll see how the others go. But 2010, here's lookin' at you!

PS, thanks to the Borups for a fun-filled heralding in of the new year, we had a blast!

Welcome Welcome Christmas Day

This year Tim and I celebrated our first Christmas together! It was so much fun, my favorite holiday with my favorite person and one of my favorite things, new P-Jamees!! We spent Christmas Eve at my Dad's and Christmas morning at my Mom's. We had decided that we weren't going to do a whole lot for Christmas as far as gifts, but we still made out like bandits and had a good time making memories with family!

Christmas Eve at my dad's Tim got his first taste of the famous omelets, no one makes them like he does... no one! So good!

When the Lords' family eats, they eat! Go big or go home right? Tim had never tried country ham before, but now he's just as addicted as the rest of us. This was a big year for him.

Thanks to everyone for the thoughtful gifts and good laughs, can't wait for next year!

Turkey Day

Thanksgiving was so fun, and so delicious! My mom is cook extraordinaire! And it's always nice to be back home in Boise. It works out well to have both of our families there. Even though it was my family's year, we were able to see Tim's some too. So thankful for food, family, and fun!

Tim and his brother went to the Boise State game. I opted out due to the lack of ticket mostly, but the frigid temperatures probably wouldn't have encouraged me much. Though the boys all bundled up looked pretty good. Go BSU!

Hello Nurse!!!

YAY!!! I received my letter today telling me I am accepted to the nursing program!! I will be starting in January and couldn't be more excited!!! :) I have heard from other nursing students that I shouldn't plan on any sleep for a year and a half... and if that is indeed true I am not quite sure how I will hold up... but I'm anxious to see!

Tim's 22!

Tim turned 22 yesterday and in honor of the special occasion we spent the afternoon hiking (read: walking) up R Mountain (read: R Hill). We had never done it before and everyone says it's a must. However having now done it I'm assuming it's one of those things you do just to do because it's popular... because as far as hiking experiences go, this really wasn't much of one. More like a nice walk along a foothills trail. And November in Rexburg = already pretty cold. We had a lot of fun though and of course ended the evening at Olive Garden. Love us some pasta!

Happy Birthday Bills! This will be a good year for you, I can tell!
