As you can see, I am not doing a very good job at updating our blog. We have been extremely busy the past few weeks, so I will fill you in on what's been going on in our lives lately.
Our last home game as members of the MUSS
It was a bittersweet feeling to realize it was our last football game as a U of U students. We had a blast attending all of the games this season. I am definitely going to miss the rowdy members of the MUSS, rushing the field, singing "Utah Man am I," dancing with the Crazy Lady, the 3rd down jump, cheering the Utes on after a touchdown, and screaming until I lose my voice. Oh how we love the football games! Even though we can't be in the MUSS, we are looking forward to next season. After all, we are still die hard Utah fans, no matter what! 
Studying for finals
When the semester is drawing to an end, it can only mean that finals are right around the corner. I had a difficult time keeping myself motivated enough to study. Dan had to take the Fundamentals of Engineering exam this past fall. Students majoring in Mechanical Engineering are required to pass the exam before they graduate. It's a brutal eight hour long test, but Dan passed it! He is one step closer to becoming an Engineer! We have one more semester to go, then we both graduate! Happy day!Enjoying the fabulous Disney movie, "A Christmas Carol."
We spent Thanksgiving with my family this year. I was so excited to see this movie. We absolutely loved it! Of course, it will never come close to my all-time favorite Christmas movie, "The Grinch," also played by Jim Carrey. The movie was pretty intense, and it followed the book by Charles Dickens word for word. It's a great holiday show!
Attending the PCMC's Festival of Trees
Dan and I attended the Festival of Trees with our good friends, the Leaver's. Neither of us had been there before, and we were amazed at how many trees there were. Each was decorated with such detail. We joked about buying one of the Christmas trees at the auction when we are rich enough. Hopefully one day we can :-).
The Temple Square lights
The Christmas lights at Temple Square is always a holiday favorite. We went with my family last week and had a great time. Afterwards we got hot chocolate at 7 Eleven. They have the best hot chocolate ever!
Jon Schmidt Christmas Concert
We absolutely love Jon Schmidt! We attended his Christmas concert at Kingsbury Hall for the 3rd year in a row. It keeps getting better and better. He is extremely talented, plus he went to the same high school as me (little plug in for Highland High). My favorite song of his is "Pachelbel's Canon Meets U2." He has a new song out called "Love Story Meets Viva La Vida." It's a mix of Taylor Swift's "Love Story," and Coldplay's "Viva La Vida." If you haven't heard it, you can find the music video on YouTube. It's really cool. We are looking forward to his concert next year.
