Sewing Party

Yesterday, I went over to the Hamiltons home and Belize and I sewed!!! I was there from 10 am to 8 pm. I am currently working on a duvet cover for our bed. It is a HUGE project!! So far I have cut all the pieces and sewed a little portion. Anjanette came over and joined us for our second project of the day...felt flowers to wear in your hair, or wherever. It is a Belize creation, and she invited us to join in the fun. We had a great time making everything!
Thanks Belize for letting me use your sewing machine and your house!

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Viva Mexico

I am a slacker, I haven't been keeping up with our blog.  So I will finally update, from Christmas to recent.

This year, we spent Christmas with Mark's family.  It was my first time away from my family on Christmas and it was really hard for me.  The time spent there consisted of: going to bed way too late, getting woken up way too early, and eating good food with good company.  Overall we had a good Christmas.

Mark on Christmas morning

Mark was very understanding with me and agreed to go to Arizona the day after Christmas.  So we left in the morning, the weather was horrible in Utah, so it took us a long time to drive to Arizona.  That night my parents made a huge, yummy, much appreciated dinner for the whole family!  It was so fun to be with the family, Sadie was very entertaining.  

Jeff left the night we got there to go to California, he stayed here at our apartment.  We didn't get to stay long, because we had to rush back to Irvine to get my passport for our Cancun trip.  We drove back on New Years Eve, we spent that night with Jeff and his girlfriend.

Jessica came back with us too, it was so fun to have her here.  We went to Hollywood for a day and Disneyland for a couple days and we also watched The OC all weekend.  

Disneyland with Jessica

I started school, my second semester! I am amazed that I am already on my second semester only 4 more after this.  

The day after I started school, Mark and I woke up before the sun, and drove to the LA airport to fly to Cancun, Mexico!  We were extremely tired the whole flight, Mark slept the whole time.  We spent about 4 days in Cancun.  We had a lot of fun in Cancun with everyone.  I was really happy to be able to spend some time with my sister, Melanie.  We all spent most of the time at the beach.
