FOR SALE!!!

I can't believe how bad I am at this whole blogging thing, but whatev. I'm a busy woman!! ha. So I intend for this to be a quick post because I'm getting ready to go out with my BFF Amy Call, but I just felt like giving a little update.
1. Moving to Alaska is official. We are stoked. I think I'm really starting to appreciate our winter's here because I know it is going to be colder in Alaska. Who would have ever thought I'd walk outside in January and think to myself, "20 degrees really isn't THAT cold." :)
2. Mac is starting his 2nd to last semester at the U of U! We are so excited, except that paying tuition makes me want to poke my eyes out. Seriously, am I the only one who thinks the U of U is Ridonculously over-priced? $3,900.00 later.......
3. Joe came home from his mission! My little bro is so funny. His new best friend is his Ipod touch that it took us 4 days to track down since they were sold out everywhere. He loves it, and I even had to tell him "no music at the breakfast table." I can't wait to be a mom and be able to tell that to my own kids!
4. We are selling some prized items in an effort to build up our savings for our Alaskan adventure. Check them out on KSL and spread the word around to your dirtbike riding/photography loving friends!

5. Mac and I are getting into shape this year!! It may already be the 8th of January and we may not have started on this new years resolution yet, but the desire is there, and we are working on the follow through! Being healthy physically is so important and we really want to get into a regular work out routine (hopefully with our INSANITY work out program, it just scares me a little to think about....)
6. I got called to be a primary chorister with my good friend Lauren Mair!! It is actually a ton of fun and a good break from teaching primary. I love being in the Primary and can't wait to dust off my creative juices to use for my new calling.
7. Mac was called into the Young Men's Presidency (can't remember if I blogged about that earlier, but let's be honest, I rarely blog, so I probably didn't!) He loves it and is enjoying the challenge of getting through to those stubborn phone/Ipod loving young men of his.
8. We moved in with my parents (**SIGH**) We really miss our apartment and our parental independence, but it was a necessary sacrifice in order to be better off once we get to Alaska. It is actually really fun being so close to family and even though we have almost had a few fists flying during a few phase 10 games, we all still really love each other.
9. Mac and I adopted a new TV show to watch via Netflix (our BFF). We have been watching Castle and love it. We love the humor and are suckers for the Crime solving dramas.
10. I swear we really do live exciting lives but thinking of a #10 has proven more difficult than I imagined......Um....we're Pregnant!! No just kidding, we really aren't. We just get asked when we are going to have kids so often that I thought I'd give you all a little tease!! WE ARE NOT PREGNANT.....just wanted to clear that up! :) My real #10 would be that mac and I hit our 1 1/2 year anniversary in December. While we can't believe it has already been 1 1/2 years, at the same time, it feels like we have been married forever. I am so grateful for him. He is the most selfless, giving, loving, hardworking, funny, sweet man ever. I love you Honey!

We love all of you so much and appreciate all your love and support! We know it will be hard to be so far away from everyone and everything we have grown up around but can't wait for this new adventure to begin. Happy be-lated new year and here's to 2011!! It's going to have to step up it's game to be better than 2010!
