dia de navidad





























this year we spent christmas with my family. christmas day we went sledding and tubing at rock canyon park. it was a blast. especially watching my parents. my mom had no fear and my dad did (with reason, soldier's hollow is a better choice for those who are afraid to go very fast... especially off bumps) (the rock canyon bowl is pretty much straight ice).  my poor brother spencer went off quite the jump and flew very high and separated with his tube. he landed on his tailbone and couldn't get up for at least ten minutes. it was only twenty minutes later when we saw another kid go off the same one and land on his head. i've never seen someone hit so hard. it's basically like landing on cement. we were happy that our spencer was not the one to get knocked unconscious. we contacted 911 and watched paramedics load him on a stretcher. anyway besides that, it really was so fun. i was able to sport one of my christmas presents from grant. he surprised me with exactly what i wanted. and have been wanting forEVER! grant and i were so excited to exchange our gifts this year, more than years past. giving really can be so much fun. i sort of enjoyed being completely honest with different sales associates that helped me out at the army navy store (it reaks in there. BY THE WAY) and lowe's. i admitted to both that i knew absolutely nothing about what i was there to get. i felt like the men helping me out with finding the perfect steel amo case and amazing wrench set..... thought i was the coolest wife ever. but grant is the coolest husband ever because i've been smelling pretty fabulous lately. we had a beautiful christmas. my parents just spoiled us to death, as usual. grant and i are looking forward to making some pretty cool new year's resolutions. i have been so busy with flowers, work and appointments that i'm amazingly starting to feel very motivated. which reminds me of something grant always says- "moving makes you motivated". i'm considering making a bucket list, however i'm pretty scared to write things down on paper because then i know i'll have to do them. going sky diving is just killing me slowly. i don't wanna go but i do!

p.s. had to wear my little brother's snow pants... so no i don't wear my snow pants that high.

oh YES. so i had a dream about you. and it kinda was sad because remember how you told me about the dream that you had and how you told me and sean something? yeah, it was odd but it had to do with that..and more than anything i think it is just crazy that i dreamed about it too..anyway.. i'll have to tell you in person. hope you have a great day!
