december.

finding time to blog has become so much more difficult these days. december is always a crazy month but throw in a wild child and its that much worse.

what we've been up to...(and its quite a lot...)

i moved back to mommy and daddys. i loved living at stephs but i outgrew it really quickly. but thank you steph jeremy and shelbs for taking me in! shelbs missses her baby 'matters' so much-its cute. but now i feel like i can breathe cuz my room isnt alwasy messy and cluttered! yay!

we got a christmas tree. real and smelly. those are best. thank you to the andersons! christmas trees and decoration are my favorite part of christmas my mom has been slacking the last few years but with my brothers arrival my mom wanted to make sure we got the decorations all up-and i was all for it!

meggsy graduated from nursing school! finally. man that nursing school is rough but im glad to have a best friend back!


and im done with school too!! i managed to swing all A's except that one easy catering online class that you kinda tend to forget about? ya that one screwed me over witha B. but oh well. im happy.

girls dinner night to pei wei. getting together for a girls night is far and few betweeen. and its one of my favorite things to do! we chatted it up with some long lost friends and it was amazing.




then me and jon were off on a little mini vacation. we hit up califormnia and cruised down to mexico. we got the brandparents to all babysit and had a nice relaxing baby free trip. we stayed a couple days with my best friend stephy and zachary in costa mesa and went to six flags and basically me and jon were in heaven. then we got some of the best sushi ever on the peninsula with my good friend michelle olewinski. then we were off to the cruise ship. it rained in mexico, but going on a cruise in chilly weather wasnt as bad as i thought. the hot tub was nice. the hot chocolate was yummy. and we made friends with people form just about ever country. we had our own little posse parading around the ship with all sorts of couples from az, israel, thailand, germany, iraq, etc. hopefully we keep in touch with some of them so we'll have some foreign connections-which i am all about! i had so much fun spending some much needed quality time with my jonathan, since our schedules are so opposite. and it was nice to catch up on sleep but i found myself really missing mister stinks the whole time. i think we showed off pictures of him to everyone!! haha.






but matix loved his souveniers!

then last friday my brother brian got home form his mission! i dont have any pictures on my camera but it was great to see him and we're good little friends living it up with mom and dad together like the old days. basically like our whole lives with a little matix added in. his homecoming i think is gonna be this sunday the 28th at 10 am at the pennwood and arville chapel. be there or be square.

now we're just excited for christmas to be here! matixs first christmas-i cant wait.
