SNOW FUN!!

I love snow! Growing up in St. George...we don't get a whole lot...so being able to play in the snow is always a treat! Here is a picture overload of our snow adventures over the Christmas and New Years break!

The first Snow day was a weekend spent up with Jason's family in Show Low for the weekend after Christmas. It was really fun.
This is a sweet picture outside the cabin
This is what generally a sweet picture turns into...Jason trying to dump me into the snow! haha jk! He just tries to scare me!

The next week for New Years Eve day went to Sunrise Resort with our friends Adam and Monet. We stayed at Jason's friend (and now roommate) Talmage's Cabin! It was great. Jason had only been once before...he did awesome!

Jason tired from his first few runs

On the Ski Lift :) It was a beautiful day!

All done! It was starting to get dark that last run!


Me...Jase...Monet...Adam

The next Friday (just two days later) We went boarding with the fam in Brianhead! It was so cold! But so fun. Jason seriously tore it up this time. He is a super fast learner. I learned how to carve a bit --Lands is a great teacher.

Landon and Jordan on the lift

the Jolley fam on the lift. I think Megs got a good taste of what Nebraska is going to feel like. It was bitter cold with the wind that day, especially on the ski lift!

Kenzers, Megs, Jason, and Landon

Jason and I. We were much more bundled up this day! It was cold!

Chillin after an awesome run!

The Jolleys after going down the backside of Navajo and crossing the bridge! We were starting to get "profesh" as Megs would say!
Landon cruising down like nobody's business
Megs...was a speedster. She would haul down the hills so fast!
Steve...hilarious!
Me and My Babe!
(Isn't my board sweet?)
Kenzers and Jason cruising down so fast, we couldn't get good pictures of them. It was seriously awesome how fast both of them picked up. Naturals!

What a fun Christmas/New Years break! Loved it!

Temple day

So I never wrote about the day I went through the temple and received my endowment, nor did I post any pictures.

Well...it was an amazing day! I went through on Dec 20, 2008. It was such a wonderful experience! Words cannot describe how great it was to take that step in my life and especially to have the support and be surrounded by so many member of my family. It was so great to feel of their amazing love for me

I can't really think of that day without having such an amazing feeling come over me...and of course tears always come no matter what! I've cried every time I've gone through since. My emotions are still so near the surface...I can't help it! I'm sure the workers think I'm crazy, because I'm so emotional, but whatever!

I love the temple! And it was a truly amazing day! I'm so grateful I had such a great experience! Here are some pics of my fam and me outside the temple.

Thanks everyone who was there! I love you all!

My amazing parents!


Sisters!

Sisters also...thank heavens Brad married Sam!!!

Might as well be sisters! (Meg's that is!)

The whole gang!

Lonely Girl...

So I'm back in Mesa...and Jason is in Provo! All settled in and going to BYU. So sad! It's going to be a long few months. I'm just going to be working here and missing him like crazy. It was hard to leave him at the SLC airport. I just broke down crying. He was all stalwart and strong and did just fine. (which I have to admit, I was a little disappointed there weren't tears on my behalf! jk!!) I on the other hand was a mess. But...work has been crazy busy and I'm back into school, so the grind begins and my mind stays busy so I don't have quite as much time to ponder on how much I miss him. Seems like evening time is always the worst. Thank heavens for the gym and earphones that blast loud music from my I-pod to keep my mind somewhere else!

Alright...enough of the whining. Christmas was absolutely wonderful. I worked a total of 4 days in 3 weeks. It was marvelous (when I wasn't sick). Really, though, it was a great holiday season. I'll post some fun pictures from Christmas break probably this weekend. Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Years! Love ya'll :)
