Update

I know, I know.. I'm horrible at updating the blog! I promise I'll try harder to keep up with it. 
I'll start with Christmas.. almost two months ago. For Christmas we went to Utah to spend it with our family. The drive was not fun AT ALL. We decided not to drive just to save money because flight tickets were so expensive. Not too far away from Dallas, around 4 hours, I was driving and got pulled over!! The officer was so rude! and said that I was driving faster than I really was. Anyhow, I got my first ticket ($200 worth). I felt soooooo bad! I didn't save us very much money at all. We drove non stop from Texas to Utah which is a very LONG drive (20 hours). Before we got to Monticello it was snowing really bad. The roads were horrible and we had to drive less than 40 miles an hour all the way through Moab. We were so tired and glad when we finally got to Dallas' dad's house. 
The last time I saw my mom before that was for our wedding.. almost two years ago. My mom and my siblings came up to Utah and it was so much fun. It was shocking to see how much my brothers have grown. My 15th year old brother is now taller than me! It was so fun to see our families. Every time we go back we realize how much we miss it there and how much we miss our families. Dallas' brother Dusty had guitar hero and it was the first time me and Dallas played. It was so much fun! my brothers also got addicted to it. 
Dallas' mom took this picture of us and my family and it is one of my favorites. 
(P.S. anyone in Utah looking for a good photographer Dallas' mom is really good and gives family and friend discounts.)


We also got on Dallas' dad hot tub. They just moved into a house in Lindon which they remodeled and it looks gorgeous. They did an awesome job.


We also went to temple square so my family could see the lights. We watched the movie about the prophet Joseph Smith and it was amazing.

Before going to Utah, the Sillito's, Hirschi's and us went to a little town not far from Dallas to watch the representation of  Bethlehem. It was so cool but I swear it was one of the coldest nights in Texas history. They were giving free hot chocolate, it never tasted so good. 
The representation was awesome, they had camels and people were dressed and acted like if there really were living in those times. Whenever we would take pictures they would say "what is that lightning box?" it was pretty funny.
