Charlie and I have a funny relationship. He tries to pretend that he hates my guts...but I know it's all a cover. Charles really loves me, he just hates when I look, touch, or talk to him. I posted this video to show a day in the life of me and Charlie. Enjoy.

Paint = Pretty House
So Eric and I live in a 2 bedroom duplex in Provo just north of campus. When we first moved in the walls were painted with one streaky coat of red paint. It was fun for a while but after finding time here and there we have managed to change the wall color for the better. Actually, I have give almost all the credit to Eric. He is a champ when it comes to painting!
Here are a few more pics
of our place.

Our First Christmas
This year we went up to Washington to be with my family for about 5 days and then traveled down to California to spend a few days with Eric's family as well. It was crazy getting into WA because we ended up flying the day of a horrible snow storm. Our flight was delayed leaving Salt Lake because Seattle was not letting any flights in. But finally we got on our way. It took forever to land though because the pilot kept saying that the runway was "unsafe". Yeah scary. It was a very uneasy moment when they decided to land the plane and the runway was completely covered in snow. But thankfully we made it safe and just had to endure the two hour extended drive home due to the unpleasant weather conditions.
We spent Christmas Day in Washington and
woke up to tons of Santa gifts and stockings!
OUR FIRST CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!
We had a WHITE CHR
ISTMAS!
We tried to make a snowman but the snow got
so cold that it was crunchy so Eric being Eric
had a great idea to just wet down the snow
with a "water bottle" to make it pac together.
HaHa...it ended up not working out so well.
The day after Christmas we left way early in the morning (4am) to fly to California. My poor parents had to drive us in to Seattle at that horrible hour :) So we also thought that flying so early would be smart so we wouldn't have to be stuck in long lines of holiday travel. Yeah, turns out everyone else had our same idea. The lines were so long inside(wrapped around several counters and extended so far we couldn't tell where the line ended) that we ended up waiting outside in the curb side check in for 45 minutes. Good thing we got there early.
(3 hours of sleep = picture above)
We had a great time in California. We got to see all of Eric's family and got a little bit of warmer weather as well as more Christmas! All of us went to see the movie Marley & Me which we will recommend seeing if you can handle a few tears. Oh yeah, we also saw Four Christmases when we were in WA. It was funny but certainly not what I expected.
So you are probably wondering about why Eric is next to this Pontiac Solstice. Well, get ready for a story. So Eric had an interview with the company Bovis Lend Lease for an internship this summer. The interview was in downtown L.A. in the morning of the day we were leaving to come back to Utah. We figured to rent a car to drive up to L.A. and then drop it off at the airport as we left. Turns out rental cars were really hard to come by. We finally had a place that had one car left. They told us that is was a two door pontiac. So of course we were thinking just a sm
all compact car that would surely have a back seat. Well we go to pick up the car and they give us the Solstice. Ok this thing is tiny. There is the driver and passenger seat and that is it. No back seat to be found! I mean it was a very nice looking car but we had luggage to take with us. But looking at the car it appeared to have a large trunk so we figured things would be fine. So Later that night we pop the trunk only to find that the majority of the trunck is taken up with what I can only think are speakers. So we had a tiny freak out moment because we had 4 large suitcases/duffel bags to get in that car. So we were able to squeeze smaller bags into the trunk if we took things out of them and shoved them in every spot possible. Then(luckily I am short)we had to put one bag on the floor board where my feet shou
ld go and then I held onto another large duffel bag in my lap. This was such a sight. I had a limited view of anything and we drove the 45 minutes up to L.A. It was actually pretty hilarious and I can only imagine what the valet was thinking when we pulled up to park the car. Ha Ha. But i was able to get out and stretch my legs while exploring the city while Eric was in his interview. But we made it to the airport and had an easy travel home to Utah.
*Incase you were wondering Charles survived being at home for 10 days without us! We had people go over every couple days to make sure he was ok and had food but he was sooooo happy when we finally came home!

What's Been Going On?
So we are finally updating the blog! Yes, this is very exciting. We have both been super busy lately finishing up school and going to Flash basketball games quite frequently. But we are finally done with all the school work/tests and ready for Christmas break! So here are a couple neat things we have done/got recently.
1. We spend time together
(even though we have been really busy we still found time to be together. We hit up the movies a couple times and saw Lake View Terrace and Ghost Town. Milkduds are my favorite movie candy and during the movie I picked up the box to grab one and I somehow managed to drop the box and spill all but 6 milkduds on the floor:(. It was a sad moment.)

5. Car Rides

Halloween with Charles
This Halloween Charles was the only one of us that dressed up and he is ADORABLE! I got him this cute little pumpkin costume. Surprisingly he was very calm about me putting it on him. He didn't like it very much though. He had the look of misery on his face but we had a good laugh watching him run around as a little pumpkin. But then he got smart and learned how to take it all off...sad. Anyways for Halloween we had dinner and watched a scary movie with some friends of ours. It was great. We also got a huge Halloween basket from my parents that provided us with all the candy and scary toys we need...Thanks!
