Christmas break (part one)

These last two weeks have been a whirlwind. 

In a good way.

So I don't overwhelm myself with how to organize posts in a creative way... I will just break down Christmas break like this:

-the drive home

-the week Chris and I got married(I'm a wife!)

and 

-whatever is left over.

I try to make this blog cool, organized and easy to jump into but I sometimes I get the opposite results. haha. Here's to an attempt!

Thanksgiving trip to Tahoe

Thanksgiving week Chris and I drove from Rexburg to Tahoe. There we met with my family and squeezed eight people into a four person cabin. 

During our four day visit we ate, talked, took lots of photos, played dominoes, watched 20/20, addressed wedding invitations, ate turkey sandwiches, watched the newest Twilight movie, explored the beach and then ate pie. It was a nice/needed break from school.

 Isn't he handsome?

I love my family.

Where I have been

Wednesday morning I drove from Rexburg, ID to Paradise, UT for my family reunion.

After my final on Friday I got back in the car and drove from Rexburg to Riverton, UT.

Saturday afternoon we started our drive home to California.

We stopped in Wells for the night.
