Meet Tippy!

Here is the newest addition to our family, Tippy! (What happened to the name Luna you ask? Well, Michael didn't really like that name, but I did. He liked the name Minnie and I didn't really like that one. So we thought of a name we both liked...good job Michael) She is super cute and adorable and loves to snuggle! She is a bull mastif so she won't be tiny for very long! Billy and her are getting to be pretty good friends, but Spike (the punk that he is) does NOT like her. Although, I think he is warming up to her. After all, They both like to play!

New House Stuff

Here is our brand new couch! Michael and I are SO excited! Now we can both lay down at the same time!

We got a little crazy and also bought a new Plasma TV!! It is much easier to move than our stupid old tube TV. (I like how you can see me in the reflection of the TV)

Deanna's Wedding

Michael's sister Deanna got married Jan. 24. Michael's cousin Heidi and her husband came and stayed with us. Heidi and I went dancing, we ate at the Red Rock Station buffet which was pretty good, we stayed up until 5 am playing games, and we went to the Green Valley Station buffet (not as good). We were all deliriously happy from not getting very much sleep, but we all had a great time!

Provo

For the new year Mike and I went to Provo to visit Trevor, Spring & Bode. It was fun! We "shopped," ate, and went to Sundance. I got some suckers (I LOVE candy!) and they were fantastic! I had cherry, boysenberry and caramel apple. Mike had peppermint and orange cream. They were the best home-made suckers I've ever had! Yummm....

Las Vegas Bowl

We had the pleasure of attending the Las Vegas Bowl with our friends Brad & Melody! It was a blast! We started the night off by eating at a most delicious Greek place and then we drove (in one car) to the game. I don't know if anyone's been to a game, but the traffic is crazy! Going to the game it's pretty much one way, so there's not really anywhere to go if you have to leave. We were in the line to pay for our parking (a whopping $10!) when Brad realizes he doesn't have the tickets. We couldn't help but laugh...where were we going to go to get out and go get them? So we do a huge loop around the parking lot and find a way to go. Of course there's always one jerk who wants to pass everyone. Well ALL of the cars were on the left and we were on the right and there's ONE car that "didn't know" it was one way (did he not see the other 1o0 cars sitting in one line?)! There was no way we were going to get through so Michael told him he needed to back up. The guy said "I am not backing up." He puts his car in stealth mode by tucking in the side mirror and passes right by us. After I was done having a panic attack we all had a good ole' laugh about it. Then we made fun of Brad for forgetting the tickets and then we made fun of each other for not asking if he had the tickets when we first left. Oh well. We only made it about 10 minutes late and enjoyed our cold night out! Brrr....oh yeah, go Cougars! Haha.

Let It Snow!

Visibility distance = apx. 100 ft!

Amount of snow = enough to make a snowman and still have left over for a snowball fight!

Beginning to look a lot like Christmas = priceless.

LAST day of work!

Marie will miss me. We'll have to get together to practice for our band after you work.

My sister Melissa. You are so funny! How perfect did this picture turn out? I won't miss you so much because I will still see you!

I'll miss you, NST!
