Happy New Year's Eve -- Shauna

I'll follow the example of my eldest brother and update you guys on what's going on over here with us :)

As mom hinted at, Mike and I have been trying to get to the temple every week for the last couple weeks. Our second time going together (1st time at Provo) we got asked to be the witness couple :) very cool experience but man I was nervous! Haha last weekend we went to the Timpanogos temple since the Provo one is closed. We were rushing to make it to the last session and barely got in on time (or so we thought) and got asked to be the witness couple again! What are the chances?! So funny! And again, a great experience :) especially in our temple! Love it. Last night we went and did a session at the Salt Lake temple. Seeing it live was an interesting experience but it was a fun thing to go do :) we saw the lights afterward and got some dinner at Panda which was a great way to end our all day date! (We went bowling before and got a couple things done before heading out to Salt Lake for the 5pm session. It was FREEZING!!) 

Other than that, we're just getting caught up on management stuff and enjoying all the time together :) Oh yeah! A couple weeks ago, I sang a duet with Rita for their wards Christmas Musical Fireside so I learned a song in Spanish and it was really fun to bond with my mother in law doing that :) Mike accompanied us (making it his own awesome arrangement of a primary song) and I always love hearing him play!! He really has an amazing musical gift :)

We might play games with all the little brothers tonight (and maybe Ben and Skye) which will be fun! We love those guys.

Oooh! I just remembered another thing that happened! :) Mike and his little brothers were dealing with the snow so I was cleaning out an apartment since the couple had left pretty quickly and didn't have time to clean everything before they left (they wanted to beat the storm that was coming so we said do what you can and we'll charge you for what we have to clean.) they had left a lot of stuff but one thing was a queen mattress. Mike decided it would be fun to put some old snowboards and skis under it (attached with duct tape) and take it sledding. So we called Mike's little brothers, janelle and Darin and Merritt's kids to join us. As we kinda already figured, the mattress was a fail but we still had a ton of fun sledding with the real sleds!

Okay I'm done for real with our update now haha :) Life is great and we're loving it!!

Love you all!! Happy New Years Eve!!
