Family Pictures, Surgery, Anniversary, School, Christmas, Happy New Year

Hey everyone! We have had a few exciting moments in our life in the past few months! So I decided to update you on the excitement of the Stephens' Family!

Family Pictures
We had the awesome opportunity to go get Stephens family pictures taken up at Snow Basin. Unfortunately my technological skills are showing and I can't get the pictures to upload. :-( So sorry! Just know that everyone in the Stephens family is beautiful and looks great! I will see if I can eventually get them uploaded! But you do get to see one of the pictures me and Chris! The pictures turned out so well!

Surgery
This past week I had to have sinus surgery. I didn't really inform a lot of people because I did not think it was going to be a big thing. However, I was informed by my wonderful sis-in-law that even if it is a minor procdure, I need to let the people who love me know about it. :-) Thanks Jessica! So, here ya go.....Everyone made it sound like I would be miserable for a day or two and then it would pass....FALSE! Well, I really was only miserable, EXTREMELY MISERABLE, for about 3 days.....they were the longest 3 days ever! But I made good progress and the dr took the splints in my nose out a day early! Wahoo! So my nose is still bleeding a bit, but I am on the road to recovery! And I hopefully will be 100% by Christmas and our anniversary trip!

Anniversary
Two years ago on the 30th Chris and I were married in the Bountiful Temple! So for this year we are going to the Homestead Resort in Midway. This was one of the places we went on our honeymoon and it was so much fun! We are super excited to go back! And this year we are going on a sleigh ride! How freakin fun is that?! So once again, we will not be in town to celebreate the new year with family in friends, but we will be having a blast up there! And we will see all of you in 2011!

School
Good news is that we are both progressing successfully through school! Yipee! Chris starts his Fire I & II classes in January! So all of the studying he has done in the classes will pay off! This class is the one where they actually get in the firefighter gear and the class is all hands-on experience!!! So exciting!

As for me, I am student teaching at South Davis Jr. this next semester! I just found out that the unit I will be teaching is Trig. Which wouldn't have been my first choice, but that is probably why I have to teach it! I think this is Heavely Fathers way of having a sense of humor. ha ha. And grades were just posted for this last semester......4.0!!!! Woot! I was probably the busiest I have ever been this past semester (my poor husband had to suffer because of that too) but it has finally paid off!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY! I HOPE YOU ENJOY SPENDING TIME WITH ONE ANOTHER!

REMEMBER THE REASON FOR THE SEASON!

Happy New Year
Well this year I am actually focusing on making new years resolutions....what are yours???
I am going to: exercise more and eat healthier! I will do my best! ha ha.

I hope you all party like its 1999.....Oh wait, its 2011. :-)

Love you all!!!
