Ok, so there is no excuse for how long it's been since I've posted. I don't know what to say except that I'm REALLY bad at blogging!
A lot has happened since my last post (duh, it's been more than 4 months!). Gordon got a job at Harmon's in Ogden. So we have moved back to Utah! HOORAY!!! He started there at the beginning of October. We've been living in Payson with Gordon's parents, and staying in Draper with my parents a couple nights a week. We're really lucky to have family that has let us do this. Otherwise we would have rented a place and had to sign a year long contract (they wouldn't go any shorter, we asked). Because we didn't have to rent we were able to save up some money and are now trying to buy a house. We're in the process right now. If this goes through we'll be living in Syracuse (about 20 minutes southwest of Ogden).
We had a great time on the last few holidays. Being here is GREAT because we get to see family (there are only five things I miss in Casper: Brianna, Brandon, Braylynn, Brinlee, and the Lime Leaf). For Halloween we wore our Harry Potter costumes again (young Lily, young Snape, and a snitch). I tried to make Claire be the Sorting Hat, but I didn't get the costume done in time. So she was a jack-o-lantern. It was really cute.
Oh yeah, Claire being the jack-o-lantern... she had to wear a corrective helmet for three months. She developed a flat spot on her head because she had a tight neck muscle. She is all done wearing it and everything looks great. She was such a good sport about it.
We were able to spend some time with both families for Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, we didn't get to go Black Friday shopping because I wasn't feeling well. That has been the biggest downside to moving back home. We have been sick A LOT! It's just because we actually see people here. When we lived in Wyoming we stayed home 99% of the time.
Christmas Eve we had breakfast with Santa with the Meier family. I love this idea! We need to keep doing it. Then we spent Christmas day in Payson with the Hardys. It was really fun to open presents with Braxton and Zach, too. Miranda was so excited this year. She finally understands presents. We spoiled her, just a little... but she has hardly gotten anything from us for Christmas the first two years (probably 1-2 toys each year). So it's ok. haha
