Well, the winter semester started this week....hooray....(not so much). Actually both of us are really enjoying it so far. We are taking a lot of science, health, and math this semester, which leaves little time for classes we might enjoy a little more, such as underwater basket weaving but guess that's the classes you have to take when you wanna work in the medical field. Also, we just got some great news, after fighting with the U for a couple months, Jenn in now officially classified as a resident. If you are not aware of the situation, she was declared as a non-resident for some reason, and we had to turn in pretty much every document from our lives to get it changed....but it's all good now, and we can go back to only being partially hosed when it comes to paying for school. Another good thing we just realized is how close we are to finishing degrees! Turns out being grown ups is closer than we thought. Well wish us luck, because with the schedules we have right now we probably wont see anyone for a while. Also GO UTES!

Hello 2009....
Out with the old, and in with the new, it's now 2009....holy cow where did the year go? Well it's been another eventful year for us. We are still going to school in Salt Lake City, but spent another summer working in Skagway to pay for the obscene tuition bills. We moved into a new apt, we now live in the student housing at the U of U. It's cinder block walls, elementary school carpets, and the smallest kitchen ever....but we love it. Its perfect for us because it's close to school and not too expensive. Brian's parents exceptionally love it because they lived here like 25 years ago, and feel everyone needs the experience. Up in Alaska both of our parents finally came to visit us and see what we've been doing the last few summers. We had a great time with them up there! We became world record holders by participating in the worlds largest egg toss. 
Also, we got a new nephew this summer, Jenn's sister Krista had another baby, named Kyler. We dont get to see them a lot since they live in Arizona, so him and the rest of her kids look totally different every time we see them.
We went on a road trip/camping/hiking trip with the Quackenbushes to Arches and Mesa Verde this fall, which was amazing! It's great to live in Utah and be close to all those awesome sites. 
Some other things that we are excited about, our favorite football team, the Utah Utes we undefeated this season, and whompped on Alabama in the Sugar Bowl. We loved going to the games this year, and are excited to finally get in on the family's season tickets, so we dont have to camp out in the freezing cold on 5th south for tickets anymore! (thanks Brian's mom and dad). 
Another big win this year is our new President. We both supported Obama, and are excited for the changes that are in the new administration! Well 2008 is long gone and it's time for another great year....bring it '09.

GO UTES..........
So for those of you who did not watch the University of Utah dominated Alabama in the sugar bowl on Friday......you missed out! Unfortunately we were unable to make it to New Orleans so instead we threw our own sugar bowl party in Arizona with a few football players!
Happy New Year......
This New Year we were able to spend it with Jennifer's family in Arizona! The night consisted of 70 degree weather, a fancy dinner of steak and lobster (on paper plates), and a never ending game of rock band. We almost missed the new year being so into this game -which is funny because Brian and I have NEVER been into video games! (we found our new addiction).
