Undefeated Season!

Things here in wonderful Salt Lake have been going pretty well. Over the past few weeks we have been keeping very busy between work and school as usual. We have managed to avoid snow for the most part. We did get caught in what they call a minor lake effect snow a few weeks ago that dumped about 6 quick inches of snow on us. After much prayer it melted away. Shawn has been at fed ex for a few weeks and is in the full groove of everything and enjoying it.

We both got tickets to the famous "holy war" between BYU and Utah and took the last half of Saturday off (after a lot fun with Sara's car!). The game was amazing! Before the game started the two teams started to get it on a little early in the middle of the field. Utah goes a little crazy for this game. Everywhere was covered in either blue or red. We definatly enjoyed ourselves even though it was really cold! Utah won and finished the year 12-0, undefeated!!

Sunday we went down to Provo to see Joseph, Katie, and baby Claire. Nathan and Ashley were kind enough to drive and we all enjoyed it. Claire is adorable to say the least. We are excited for our first thanksgiving together this week. We will be spending it with nathan and ashley's family. Then time to get ready for Christmas!! Thats about it for now, here are some pictures of the game.

Randommmmm

So this will be a random post.. we have a hodge podge of pictures and events we will update about.

First of all here is a shout out to Halloween. someone in our complex played a great prank and put a foot hanging out of their car. So i dunno who did it but we loved it because of their great sence of humor.
Next if you look sideways you will see that i made shawn some lunch and his way of showing appreciation was falling asleep while i was cooking. gotta love him.

Shawn went to a utah game a while back, and took a few pics. The fans werent as good as WVU ones. but hey, what can you do

Heres the utah field

Now last monday we took a trip to provo to see joseph and katie brewer(and soon to be baby claire), sara's cousin and his wife. They are expecting an addition soon, as in tomorrow. So best wishes to them. But on our trip back to Salt Lake we randomly got lost looking for target and found the MT. Timpanogas temple so here are some shout outs to the beautiful temple.

On the way to provo we decided to take a picture of the Y on the mountain. We later found out Katie had climbed there pregnant and all. We were quite amazed, but true to the Utah fans we are.. Booo BYU. haha.. cant say we really care much.

Shawn starts at FedEx Tomorrow. Hes pretty excited to be done with Tmobile. This shoul dbe a good change and we are pretty pumped. Thats all for now but we will keep you posted on whether he likes this job or not!

GAS IS DROPPING!!!

We just want to share our happiness with you that gas is dropping. Thats basically the only reason for that title for this post, haha. As far as news for us, Shawn got a new job with FedEx and is very excited to get started with that very soon. We got to go to nursery today and Sara taught a great lesson to the kids about the Holy Ghost. We had a fun time as always in there. Sara had a great time visiting teaching tonight and getting to know some more people from around the ward. We will be throwing some pictures up in the next few days! Miss you all

Still going

So we have been slacking a bit on this blog stuff. It happens. The weather has started to definatly get colder and we are not liking it at all. Temps are diping down into the 30's almost everynight and brushing into the 20's some. But fortunatly no new snow. We have basically just been doing the same old schedule. Going to work for both and Shawn is back at school after a weeklong glorious break. The most excitment we have had is changing our license plates over to Utah plates.. we no longer stand out with those rocking WV plates, haha. Thats about it for now though. Let us know how everyone else is doing!!!

So its been about a month

So we havent posted on here in about a month, so while we've had a minute we thought we would. We have beeen prettttty busy with work and school and church and such. Sara is still working 2-10 at kinkos and shawn is still with tmobile working whenever he can. On recent events Seth visited on conference weekend and we got to attend conference and so did he. We also both spoke in church today for our welcome to the ward talk. Sara spoke on how to keep the spirit in your home and shawn spoke on a variety of things but mainly missionary work and loveing your neighbor. We based our talks on things which were talked on in our regional and stake conference. On the weather front.. it snowed today ALOT. We dont like it so much. We are making more friends i guess you could say. A few sundays back we went to another couples apartment and played games with them and we are going to a different one today. WE have a bunch of newly wed couples in our complex so its fun to play games and such with them.This is the snow we woke up to this morning

These were our seats in conference Sunday Morning.

Stake Conference..

soo its been a while i know. but we've been a little busy so a quick update is that we are working and shawn is going to school. haha. but our most recent event is that we had stake conference today and it was in the conference center. it was for our region and had 77 stakes there. we almost Completely fille the conference center. President Monson presided over the conference and spoke as the last speaker. it was amazing to be so close and hear the prophets words directly more closely at us. At the begining of his talk he told this joke about preident hinkley dozing off at a conference it was a riot. And we quote " how do you poke the prophet and tell him hes been sleeping? " it was priceless. He really is a great man. So here are some pictures we took afterwards.

our view the whole conference!
when we first got there we
President monson when he walked out.

Snowwww.. what?

So.. we woke up this morning to a pounding on the window. After a few delirious moments we realized it was hailing like crazy. The forecast for today called for snow in park city and when we left the apartment it was confirmed that the snow had graced the top of the mountains.

Seth headed out today. He stayed with us from friday night late till now. We've enjoyed the company and hope we didn't bore him too much.

Our next new update is that we have been looking for a new TV and decided to see if there was any labor day sales. We then went to best buy and found a wayyyy good deal on a wayyyy nice TV.

Our new house phone we finally hooked up also so our new numbrer is 1-801-513-4556.

Heres some pictures of the hail/ snow!
