Christmas

This year Joe and I had a great Christmas. It worked out that we both had the 24-26 off together, so we took a little Christmas Vacation. After work on the 23 we headed to Nephi to spend Christmas Eve and Christmas Morning with his family. It was fun and relaxing to be with them. We watched movies, I help cook, Joe hung out with his brother and we just visited. I am so lucky to have such great in-laws. On Christmas we all slept in till about 9:30 then opened presents and had breakfast. Yummy waffles and breakfast casserole. Then Joe and I packed up and went to my mom's house for her Christmas dinner. It was great like always. I love my family and I love spending time with them. Christmas night Joe and I spent it at the Anniversary Inn, where I work so I get a pretty good discount. We got lucky and was able to stay in one of my favorite rooms, The Lake Powell. After a busy week and an even busier past few months it was nice to spend that time together. I am lucky to have such a great husband. The next day so the 26th, we had dinner with a couple of friends at Ruth's Chris Stakehouse. It a really fancey stakehouse with amazing food. So all in all we had a great christmas. I love to spend the holiday with family. We have great families and I love them all.

Sorry in all the fun we forgot to get pictures.

I'm done with school or is school done with me....

Yesturday, I had to present my portfolio to a couple of the professors and then they do sort of a job interview. They ask you questions about your drawings and they grade you on how well you do. My appointment was at 9:30 and just as I had feared I ended up getting two of the three professors that I haven't ever had classes with. As we went over my drawings I started wishing that I hadn't taken two years off in the middle of working towards my degree. It made it really hard to remember exactly what I did and what different symbols mean. Though it really felt like a job interview because I'm sitting in a room with two people I'd just met. I know I would have done better if I'd gotten at least one professor that I knew. Well, No matter how much I have forgotten or knew and just answered wrong I did pass and now I am offically graduating. Tomorrow, I am taking my last final and I will be done. What am I going to do now you ask? I am going to try and find a job in the field and I am going to do all that I can to help Joe finish his bachelors and then his masters. In the future, when Joe's all finished with school and if we can afford it, I would really like to get an engineering degree. The future is bright...

I just need to work on having more confidence in myself (as was pointed out to me yesturday).

This week has been pretty busy for me and Joe. We both have finished up the last week of classes and now it's onto finals. On Monday, I turned in my final project for Electrical. It's call a Motor-In-A-Cup and it ran on the first try. I was shock and relieved, cause I didn't want to have to try and get it to run. Tuesday evening I want to my work party and I had a blast. The people I work with are awsome. Wednesday and Thursday I just spent working on my protfolio. I have to present it this coming monday. I hope it passes. Friday or rather yesturday, we went to the Tabernacle Choir Christmas Concert it was amazing. I love listening to them sing, but seeing them in a concert is great. They had a guess singer preforming with them and he was spectacular. I hope you all get a chance to see the concert on TV when they broadcast it. As for today, I just worked and have taked a much needed R&R.

Here are some pictures from my work party.
