Ciao 2013!

This year has come and gone so fast, I can't believe it!  It has been a great year for me.  A lot has happened, especially since being in Utah.  I am starting to like Utah a little more.  Here is the update:

We have had three huge snow storms, well I think they are huge! Utah has no idea what a snow day is!  It is much easier to drive in Utah snow then it is to drive in Sonora snow.  Utah snow is dry and is still drivable.  The other drivers scare me though! Right before I flew home fro Christmas I went to a wedding reception.  As I was leaving I got stuck in the snow, it was awful! I didn't know what to do, so I called mom and started crying! Luckily,  a friend and his wife from the reception were walking by and he was able to get me out.  It was so scary.  It doesn't matter how many times I've driven in the snow, it still scares me. This was the first snow storm of the year, i parked my car on campus at 8 am and then came back at 4 pm to this lovely surprise.  That night I had to drive up to Salt Lake and it took me 2 plus hours to drive up there.

School is done! I was taking two classes this past semester and I passed them both! I am just so happy my biology class is over! My EMT class is also finished.  January 11 is the state practical and then I have to take the written, then I am a licensed EMT!!! I am hoping to get a job as an EMT once I am licensed then hopefully move to Salt Lake.  Now that school is out my plan is to work as much as possible, get some volunteer hours, and job search!

With the holidays, Temple Square was lit up.  Jake, Ashley, Raymond, Luke, and I took the trax (its the  public transportation) up to Salt Lake to check out the lights.  We had lots of fun!  Luke is the cheerleader and this basically sums us up!

This Christmas it was Tait and I, so it was pretty quiet.  But we had fun. We went shooting, went to the movies, had a Christmas party, and watched lots of movies at home! But it was a perfect week for me to relax and not have to do anything! So, next year it is the Mele Ohana Christmas, and y'all better be there (Tait is the only exception!).

BYU Men's volleyball has started and I can't even wait for the games when I get back!

Busy Bees!

Well no one has updated the blog since October (thanks Becca!) and now it's December so I figure we are overdue. So much has happened with our little family since we last checked in. Weston took his first ever trip up to Sonora to see Uncle Tait play football. It was a great game to go to because they won and Tait was awesome!

When we got back it was Halloween week and Weston had so much fun dressing up and going door to door. We met up with Candace's family and went trick-or-treating with Wes' cousins Zach and Lily and their parents, Jeremy and Renee. Weston got lots of candy which we are saving for him. Can you tell what movie we are from? Jake and Weston were such good sports dressing up to support Candace's love of Halloween!

Later that week we took some fall family photos, Weston did so well and was such a little ham for the camera. Here are some of our favorites:

We went up to Sonora for the second time in less than 2 months to celebrate Thanksgiving. Although we weren't able to stay very long, due to Jake's work schedule, we had so much fun with the Mele family and it was so good to be able to see all of them. We also got fed amazing food by the lovely Sharon who made 5 pies for the 6 of us! The grandparents also spoiled Weston for Christmas and got him an amazing little car that he just loves!
