Dec 09 in summary

This month has been so much fun. We have spent time with old friends and found some new great friends. This month we finished school and Christmas is almost here. We went to Vegas with the Tolds and went to Salt Lake twice: once with my family for the sing a long and once with Beth and Dallas to see the lights (which by the way turn off at 10! Found out the hard way). We also found some great places to eat (mostly Vegas) Jake's favorite Firehouse Subs and mine splitting the teriyaki chicken from Iggys (two full meals by the way). Also Jake helped recorded the second annual Jon Duke Christmas cd so that ought to be just fabulous! It has just been fun and this will be our first Christmas at our own place on Christmas day since last year we drove down from Logan. Life has been pretty uneventful in terms of life changing stuff but just loving life and getting through school! Only one more year and then student teaching and I am done...at least for 10 years probably!

Here are some fun pictures:
