Busy holiday season....

Well it has been a busy busy time for us, which is why it has been over a month since we have had time to post. We finished with the fall semester, and in the middle of finals we also ended up moving apartments. We wanted more space in our cinder block student apt and put in to move to a 2 bedroom, well one came available but we had to move during finals week or they would give it to someone else. Needless to say it was a stressful week, but with some help from our friends we were able to knock the move out in one day. The day after finals we took off for our month-long vacation which started with an overnight at Brian's parents house for their family Christmas party. We had a good time hanging out with the family, it seems like we only see a lot of them at this annual party. Bright and early the next morning we started the drive to Arizona to spend Christmas with Jenn's family. It was a blast, we went to see the temple lights at the Mesa temple which is like the ones in SLC but not nearly as frigid. We were able to spend a lot of time with the whole family including the nieces and nephews who get bigger by the hour it seems. It was a great time especially since we only get to see the AZ family a couple times a year. For Christmas we decided that instead of presents for each other we would just go on a trip and relax between semesters so, tomorrow we take off to Vegas to catch our flight to Costa Rica!! We will be there for about 2 weeks chilling on the beach and getting engrossed with Central American culture. Stay tuned because we will have internet a couple times while we are there and will keep everyone updated. Hopefully you all had a Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year!!Here are some pictures of our vacation so far.....
