I have to take a moment and make fun of myself and my fear of bugs. I hate pretty much all bugs, but I hate big bugs and bugs that fly the most! One night I was laying on the bed playing with the dogs and I happen to see a BIG bug on the wall near the ceiling. I thought it was a cockroach as it was that color and did not look like it had wings. I had to act fast; how was I going to get it? I gathered a bowl and a plate to catch it in and then once I caught it, I would take it outside and release it. Good idea! Wrong, how was I going to get it down? It was about 9 or 10 feet up and I am only 5'2". I took my dog's ball and started throwing it at the wall, but I was too scared to actually hit the bug because I didn't want it to fly around the room and get me (all the while the dog's thought I was playing ball with them). I then plugged in my hand-held Oreck vacuum and attached both long arms. Then I added a circular end to that because I thought the hole was a little too small. I then got on the bed and turned the vacuum on. As I leaned for the bug, it started flying and I screamed. As I was trying to suck up the bug with the vacuum as it's flying around the room, my dogs were barking at me. Eventually I did suck it up and took the vacuum outside and got the bug out of the vacuum so it wouldn't come out and get me! Where's the video camera when you need it?

Christmas Vacation
Michael had a couple weeks off of school and work and Heather got 11 days off of work so we decided to go to Reno & Sacramento. It was great to have so much time off work and be able to spend it together!
We went to Sacramento and attended the temple. It is a small temple, but beautiful none-the-less. Michael's Grandma was able to meet us there and help us out with family names! It was fantastic!
Of course we had to visit Lake Tahoe! It was gorgeous! It was actually quite funny to see the beaches full of snow and not sand.
This was a very cold day! We stopped by the Truckee River before we went back home.
