Our Busy, Beautiful Days

Well, we have been a busy family, but we're loving every minute of it!

In the beginning of January Aaron started his internship with KPMG in Salt Lake. The second week of January Aaron went to Orlando, Florida, for training.

Touring

Yes, this was made out of Legos!

That same week, Sister Sara Jacob came home from her mission to Richmond, VA! It is SO wonderful to have her home! She was an amazing missionary and will continue to be so! She won't be going back to Rexburg until the Fall, so I'm going to E.N.J.O.Y. her!

I don't have any other pictures on the laptop, so this is old. Yes, Aaron looks young and a tad-bit skinnier.

We moved to Salt Lake for a few weeks while Aaron works (since he works late and wants to see us for two more hours in the day). We are living in Aaron's aunt and uncle's basement. It is great! While Aaron is in Russia, I'll be back home at Wymount and visiting family in Orem, and then in March we'll move back up here while Aaron finishes his internship.

He is enjoying the work with KPMG and we know this is the right place for us. Right now is busy season so I don't see much of him, but I'm keeping busy and staying happy.

We stay busy doing my new Biggest Loser Workout DVD's (killer), dancing, singing, reading, playing, and going on LONG walks.  The firm covers dinner (and Aaron goes out to lunch), so I don't really have to cook much. It's kind of nice, but I DO need to stay in the habit of making dinner, even if it is just for Michael and I. So, tonight I made bean burgers. I know, it sounds gross. But they were good! It was my attempt at eating healthier, since I've been eating too much junk food lately. I was pretty impressed and will definitely make them again. I just made some brown rice, opened a can of beans, and added a few ingredients of my own. Then I baked them instead of frying them in oil, and ate them plain with ketchup. Delicious.

Dressing up at Grandma Jacob's!

Ah, cute.

Of course we had to take a walk up a HUNKIN hill to see the famous "East High" from High School Musical

Isn't this area gorgeous? Yes, I love Salt Lake!

The courtyard of the church.

The pond

This old church is like a house away from ours! We love to go there, and the ponds and stream are beautiful!

 Anyways, we've taken a few field trips and we spent a few hours on Temple Square. We went to the top of the Church Office Building and also toured the new Church History Musuem.

So yes, life is wonderful and we're just getting ready for Aaron's big trip to Moscow! I can't believe he leaves on Saturday! It was a bit nerve-wracking to hear about the suicide bomber at the airport in Moscow yesterday, but Aaron's dad gave him a blessing on Sunday, and I feel pretty good about the trip. I know he'll be watched over, and I'll be praying for his safety everyday!

I watched the State of the Union address tonight and really liked it a lot. I also liked the mingling of the different parties. It was nice. I tried to keep Michael up (it's 9:41pm and Aaron still isn't home, but will be soon), but he's getting tired!!!!!!! When Michael goes down I think I'll go do my nails.
