Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas! Blaine and I are currently in Palm Desert, CA staying at Blaine's mom's house. She has a really nice house out here and it has been nothing less than relaxing. We left Utah on Saturday, the 20th, and headed to Las Vegas first. We stayed with my cousin Jody and her family while out there. We looked around at Vegas for a few hours the next day to see if there were any stand out places to live for when we move out there for medical school. We really liked Boulder City which is about 10 miles out of the city of Vegas. It was really quaint and had a lot of character, but was still well equipped with all the necessary stores and such. After looking around for a while we headed over to the Hoover Dam. That place is a dam sight! (haha....we had a lot of "dam" jokes to throw out that day. Everyone thought they were so clever it was great.) It really was quite amazing and a little creepy to stand on top of. Right across from the dam they are building a bridge that will take the traffic off of the dam and it is huge! It was so high up it made me queasy just looking at it. We took pictures so we'll have to put some up. We then headed out to California! We will be here until tomorrow morning where we will head to San Francisco to go to a friends wedding and see my brother and sister-in-law. It has been a great Christmas and Christmas vacation.

Both Blaine and I are so grateful for our families during this holiday season; for their love and support! We are also grateful to have a time to remember our Savior Jesus Christ's birth and the miracle that that was. Merry Christmas everyone!
