My Thanksgiving and December wrap up!

Winter has arrived. We have had the nicest fall this year and I'm glad it lasted so long! It started snowing yesterday and it's still comin! It's nice to have some snow during Christmas time, but I definately don't like driving in it.

Ben got a new job a few weeks ago working for Rass Brothers Construction. He was SO HAPPY, to say the least, to not be working at Texas Roadhouse anymore. It's been so nice not having to hang out so late at night anymore! He's a project manager and so far it sounds like he's been doing a great job.

I spent this Thanksgiving with Ben's family and I had 5 days off of work! It was wooonderful. Ben's grandparents live in Sandy so we just drove up there every day and hung out with his fam. I went and watched Ben play football Thanksgiving morning (note:he made 3 touchdowns!) and then we drove to Sandy and had Thankgiving dinner (always a good thing) and then we all went to go see a movie. It was nice to do the same things I would have done with my own family! The next day his grandparents took the whole family out to Texas Roadhouse and then we went to go see the Salt Lake Temple lights. I love Christmas lights!

I'm on my last week of school before finals and then I fly home on the 21st for Christmas! I can hardly wait. I miss my family and I can't wait to spend Christmas with them!

Here's a few pictures that Ben's mom took during Thanksgiving...

Ben with his nephew Mitchel (who had a candy cane face in about 2 minutes)

We stopped to warm up in the Joseph Smith building

Here's Ben family minus his older brother and sister in-law (This may or may not end up in their Christmas cards-we'll see if they liked my photography skills haha)
