Well, it is officially the Holiday Season! We just got through Thanksgiving, and it was a lot of fun!
Trevor got off early on Wednesday, and Travis and him went to Idaho Falls shopping (weird I know). And, he bought me a video camera that I have been wanting for quite a while now.
We ended up going over to Travis and Sunshine's for the big feast this year. We even tried our hand at frying the turkey. It turned out very yummy. Trevor's dad, Ben, his wife, and their daughter Melinda joined us. We all ate too much, but didn't regret a single bite.
On the day after Thanksgiving, Travis, Sunshine, and I convinced Trevor to go shopping with us! We went to Wal-mart at 4:30am, and bought 9 Blu Ray movies, for 10$ each, and 4 DVDs for 2$ each! We also got some comfy pillows, and comforters from Fred Meyer.
Now, Trevor is supposed to be working 24 days in a row, 10 hour days due to deadlines at his job. We are very excited to have some extra cash, but I really would rather have my hubby home.
We haven't made any plans for Christmas this year. We might end up just staying home, and enjoying relaxing like we were forced to do last year. We will see.
I hope all of you have a very safe, and happy holiday season! I know I'll give you some heads ups on here, and I might even add a few video blogs as well!
Love you all.

Virgin River Gorge....(Beaver Dam AZ Cont....)
The Virgin River Gorge is absolutely gorgeous!
Did you know that it is a fault line that has a river going through it?
The stretch of I15 that runs through the Gorge cost an estimated $17Million/mile to build!
Insane I tell you, INSANE!!!
I drove through it in the dark on our way, so we decided to go on a little sight seeing adventure, and take a few amazing pictures along the way!
First off, this is a picture of the Mouth of the gorge. it looks small, but let me tell you its not!
This is a picture of part of it too...
To the right, is a picture looking out over it.
Another example of it! I was amazed at the beauty!
And, the Irony of it all.....an I15 sign along a dirt road with nothing but mountains to see!
Beaver Dam Arizona / Mesquite Nevada
Last week I went to Beaver Dam with my mom and Marlin.
We had a lot of fun, and I was lucky to be able to see a whole new part of the USA!
And....can I mention that it was 65-69 degrees!
Here at home, it didn't top 40!
Even if I mom and I navigated Salt Lake City traffic ourselves....
(Eyes shut for humorous purposes only)
Mom drove us through Salt Lake, even tho she hates driving in traffic....
She did AWESOME!!!! Here I am climbing on a big rock!
And....the lizard that tried to eat us....I SWEAR!
Me....Standing next to a huge sink hole!
A wonderful view of the Joshua Trees forest...
I must say....the Joshua Trees probably were my favorite!
And a chula cactus....

New month...New Job.....
Well, Trevor started with a different company as October came to an end. Now, he is working for a company out at the site....he is carpooling with his brother Travis, and they are getting some overtime in before the holidays!
Can't believe it is already that time of year again! We have some snow on the ground, and as of right now, it is 16 degrees outside! Burrrrrr!!!! I will never complain of being toooooo hot ever again! :)
I'm still struggling on what to put on here....I'll think of something! :)
