Getting ready for trip

This past week has been busy busy busy! I wanted to get my Christmas stuff up before our trip to GA, and it took a good 4 days to get it all done. Then I had to clean up the mess left behind from the four days of me not doing housework! My family was a good help though. I can't seem to get it all done without them. I owe that to Matt. He's a slave driver to the kids! But the end result is awesome. I think our home looks much more festive this year and I have new stuff that I bought on clearance sales after Christmas last year. I love unwrapping something I totally forgot I bought! I guess you could say my Christmas begins a little early!

We hosted a game party last night to watch the UTES slaughter the cougars! And I thought it would be a close game. Not even! We are **extremely** proud of our team for remaining undeafeated through the season and having such a sweet victory over BYU. It's been fun to see them play so well this year. Matt is so glad he could attend so many of the games. What good friends he has to always invite him.

One last thing. We attended the funeral of 15 year old Tucker Thayer yesterday, and it was a very bittersweet event. I am always amazed at how peaceful funerals can be. How even in a tragic event that seems like never should have happened, feels like it was all part of the plan. Like it was absolutely his time to leave. We love the Thayer family. They are amazingly strong and I certainly hope I could be the same way if something like that were to ever befall my own family. I pray it never does!!!

Gotta finish packing... needed a break for a little while. We can't wait to tell Matt's family the news that we're expecting. It's gonna be awesome.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!
