Christmas!

Well Jordan and I had an absolutely amazing Christmas break!  We started out with a 10 hour drive to ABQ.  The drive was awful for the first 3 hours, we had to drive to soldiers summit with roads that had not been plowed.  We drove about 10 mph for the whole stretch of the canyon.  At one point we even did a 180 in the car, it scared the crap out of me but luckily there weren't other cars on the road and we were ok!  We also didn't mind that the drive took longer than normal because we were listening to Harry Potter #7, and enjoying it very much.  We spent a week in ABQ at my parents and on Christmas day we all flew to San Francisco were we met up with my sister and my brother.  San Francisco was awesome, it was my first time.  We did a lot of fun stuff and just enjoyed spending time with each other.  I also got to meet my new niece, Matea, who was still in the hospital because she was born about 3 months early.  She was darling and such a little trooper.  We flew back to ABQ on New Years day.  And then the next day we made our trip back to Provo.  We once again hit icy conditions, but this time in Colorado.  At one point we slid across the opposite lane and right into a snow bank, where we got stuck.   Jordan and I got out of the car to use out shoes to dig our tires out of the snow, and about a 5 minutes later a saint came.  Some lady who lived really close by offered us help and had her husband get a tractor to pull us out.  We just kept think how lucky we were!  We finally made it safely to provo and finished listening to Harry Potter! It was an awesome vacation.
This is what ABQ looks like on Christmas Eve.  Theres a whole neighborhood who lines their streets with thousands of luminaries.

Well Jordan and I have some pretty exciting and big news, for those of you who don't know already....We're pregnant!! I'm 12 weeks along and so so happy to be past the morning sickness stage.  Our wonderful bundle of joy is scheduled to arrive here sometime at the end of July.  Jordan and I couldn't be more excited to be entering this new stage in our lives and we just feel so blessed.  We combined our pictures and here is what our baby is supposed to look like....
