Happy New Year!

What a holiday it has been! Thanksgiving was a blast! It was so wonderful for all 5 kids and their families to be together and to be able to spend it at Jamie and Chris's in St. George.
I took Cory, Elisha, Kelly, Jen, Jake, Megan, Jess and Mike to Red Lobster for dinner and then to the Scera in Orem to see Plaid Tidings. We had so much fun. We are always the loudest people in the restaurant and always the ones having the most fun! I almost had more fun listening to Jen laugh during Plaid Tidings than the show itself; and the show was sooooo funny! That was the kid's Christmas present from me. I decided a few years back that I would rather give a memory for Christmas for my gift and this has been the result.
I went to St. George after my finals and took Chris and Jamie out to Ruby River and then to see the Diamond talent Christmas Show. Food and show was great!
Went out to dinner on Christmas Eve with Mom and Mike and they got engaged. Mike dropped to one knee next to the booth and after saying some very sweet things, gave mom a ring. A HUGE ring! To say that my mom is engaged is very strange and I am still getting used to it but she is happy and Mike is a wonderful man! I wish them much happiness!!! No date set for the wedding yet.
Wasn't my year to have the kids over so it was a bit quiet on the home front. Went to Kelly's to watch kids open presents and then had breakfast. Saw Jess and Mike later that night and loved the BIG storm that blew in! I LOVE THE SNOW!!!!
Another semester over and I lived through it. I have a short break and then back to UVU, my home away from home. (I think the reason my tuition is so high is that they are charging me room and board because I practically live there!) Took 17 credits last semester and will go with 18 for Spring.
I wish everyone a prosperous and joy filled new year!!! LOVE YA"LL
