Thanksgiving in Alpine and Financial Aid App!

This year we spent Thanksgiving at my sister Jaime's in Alpine, Utah. It always takes us 3 1/2 hours to get there and for once we beat the Salt Lake City traffic! That was a nice change.

We left on Tuesday after John took an exam in the testing center (he skipped classes Wednesday and my teacher didn't schedule class). I only have one class on campus this semester and the rest are online which is really nice.

On Wednesday I cooked a lot with my mom and Jaime and John had a meeting with his partner for Wisevice. Thanksgiving day I went walking with my mom and John went running with Jaime. We had to burn some calories before feasting, right??

Colby's chalkboard and all the things and people we are grateful for!

Other days we...

• Took Christmas pictures of Matthew's family and they took pictures of our family
• Went to Temple Square and saw the lights (our first time!)
• Went black friday shopping at Smith's and Christmas shopping at Traverse Mall
• John and Colby went with my brother Steven and my dad to "Five Mile Pass" a trail that they drove a razor on
• Watched a movie
• Played the game "Ticket to Ride"
• Procrastinated doing homework
• Visited with my mission president and his wife (The Van Komen's)
• Went to Kneaders for Breakfast with Caitlin Janeway
• Watched the civil war game...sadly the Beavers lost! It was a close game though.

It was a fun Thanksgiving and I was not excited to return to class and school work! However, finals are next week and then I just have one semester left!!

On a separate note...John finished the BYU-Idaho Financial Aid app!! I am so proud of all the hours he put into it, the hard work, and for being straight forward in meetings where he could have given up. I think the students will be grateful to have it, I know I will. 

I had to take a screen shot, I promise the poser is clear!
