Kyle took a job with Ernst & Young in the bay area. So starting in August 2010- we will become official residents of Northern California. Pretty sweet huh? Neither of us have really lived away from Utah so it should be fun to get out an experience something different for however long we are out there (okay so Kyle lived away from Utah for 2 years while he was gone on his mission...but you get my point). Not to mention we have lots of family in the area and we are both pumped to be close to our darling neices and nephews. However, it will be sad to leave our home as well as all of our family here. But it will be an adventure and who can object to an adventure?
Then there was Thanksgiving Break which was pretty much amazing. We went bowling (Simpson family Thanksgiving tradition), watched movies, put up our Christmas tree and did some shopping. Oh and we saw the Blindside and New Moon, both of which I loved. Am I the only one who contemplated becoming Team Jacob just based off of the movie? I mean normally I am Team Edward all the way...but the movie kind of changed my mind.
Last week we kicked off the Christmas season by going up to Temple Square with Blaine and Kristin. Nothing gets me in the Christmas mood better than that. I wish I had pictures to post but I am a slacker and as always forgot my camera- maybe on our next post I will have some good pictures?
As of this week we have just been hanging out and drinking a lot of hot chocolate (one of my favorite parts of winter). Kyle is busy getting ready for finals next week while I am trying to keep myself sane with 27 7-8 year olds bouncing off the walls in anticipation of Christmas. Don't get me wrong they are the cutest, funniest people ever and I love what I do- but don't you remember how exciting the countdown to Christmas was when you were a kid? It's all they can do to not burst with excitement. I really do love it though; they have done a great job of helping me find my Christmas spirit.
Anyway until next time- and Happy Holidays!
