The finished product!

Well a lot has happened recently, and I've been a HUGE slacker when it comes to updating our blog. So without further ado, here's an update!

Kyle and I had our four year anniversary on the 20th of November. I had just started a new job and couldn't request the day off to celebrate.So instead Chase and I came to Kyle's work and kidnapped him! We took him to Firebirds, one of our favorite restaurants and it was so delicious! We had a lobster spinach queso appetizer that was to DIE for, and then enjoyed two of the yummiest burgers in the world! We relaxed later that evening and reminisced about the last four years of marriage, and enjoyed dessert and a movie. All in all it was a wonderful day and a great anniversary.

For Thanksgiving we went over to the Talbot's home and spent the day in great company and eating delectable food. It was such a relaxing day, and we had so much fun just talking and eating yummies all day long.

Last Friday we went to Kyle's work Christmas party and had a blast. It was at the Scottsdale Venue and there was dancing, fun, and plenty of delicious food and prizes. Ok I seriously wish I'd had a camera for what we ate so I could make all your mouths water. It was awesome!! They served huge tiger shrimp cocktail for an appetizer then we had a garden salad with creamy strawberry dressing. That wasn't even the best part though, the main course was mouth watering filet mignon, salmon, and chicken with a side of potatoes and green beans with a mushroom sauce and sliced almonds, mmmm so good. We loved getting all dressed up and going out for a special night on the town. Sorry no pictures though, I know that's boring.

A little update about the little guy now! Chase is growing at super speed both physically and developmentally. We are loving how much more interactive he is and how he's talking so much more and understanding us more everyday. He can count up to three understandably,"un, doo, reeeee, etc" after three though it get's a little fuzzy. He has a small list of words that he says and also signs which makes for pretty proud parents. He has started giving us kisses and blowing kisses also. He just melts our hearts he's so sweet and tender.

Our house is moving right along. They have dry walled and done all the stucco now it's time for paint and trim, then cabinets, countertops, and flooring! It's so fun to see Chase run around in our soon to be finished home, we can't wait until it's finished! We're expecting it to be finished on or around January 20th.

I recently started a new job at a plasma center as a phlebotomist, which most of you know was also what I did for work in Rexburg when we lived there. I thought when I finished at Bio Medics in Rexburg, I'd never work at another plasma center again, but the economy proved me wrong! Needless to say I feel right at home (as far as work and not co workers are concerned). It's been extremely difficult to not have as much sweet time with Chase but it makes me relish every second I do get to spend with him even more. Plus, it'll only be for another month and a half, that's what keeps me going!

In addition to all this we're taking the holiday season head on and surprisingly still enjoying every bit of holiday cheer we can manage to find. Our family is doing well and we can't complain. If you haven't guessed the riddle by now or couldn't stand reading through this whole novel to figure it out, then I'll just tell you! We're having another baby!!! I am 15 weeks along and we're so excited to find out what we're having in a few weeks. Any guesses? We'll let you all know when we find out!
