goodbye calgary.


we are spending this christmas break in arizona.
it has been a totally different christmas then we are used to, but it has still been very merry.

the best part is just having all sorts of time to spend together as a family.
our last few months in calgary have been wonderful, but they have felt pretty busy.

you may have assumed that i have felt busy by my awfully awful blogging.
but that chapter of life ended on thursday.
we have left calgary and will be back in rexburg tomorrow, where matt will begin his third last semester.

i plan on re-capping a few things that i have missed since my last post.
but for now i will just tell you what has happened most recently:

right after our last day of work we said a whole bunch of teary goodbyes,
dropped chet off with my parents, and started driving to idaho.
we weren't in idaho for very long, just long enough to toss our things into our
apartment and catch a flight to arizona.
chet had already flown down with my parents and was waiting for us at the airport.

i had never spent a whole day away from chet before that,



so 2 whole days seemed like FOREVER.
but being able to spare chet from that long, boring drive was such a blessing.
plus there wasn't a stitch of room for chet anywhere in (or on) our car.
so we didn't have much choice.

chet on the plane.

getting ready to pick us up.

chet was more excited to see matt than he was to see me when we met him at the airport.
but i knew it would be that way and i had tried to prepare my little heart before hand..


chet it such a daddy's boy these days.
it is so cute to watch those two together, but i can't help but be a little jealous!

anywho..
on christmas eve we went up to the mesa temple to check out the christmas lights.
they were beautiful.
pictures don't do them justice, but i tried.


another fun arizona thing we did was go to a suns game.my parents treated us.
it was a pretty lame game and the concession guy totally scammed us..
but we still loved going.

other then that, my mom and i have been doing lots of shopping.
matt and my dad have golfed almost every day.
and chet is going on lots of golf cart rides.
so everyone is happy.


happy new years everyone.
