Thanksgiving Eve.

So excited that the break is here and we get a couple days off to gorge ourselves with food and relax with family. We made sure to start of the break with greatness. The day was so beautiful and perfect Jane and i decided to grab dinner and visit the Provo Canyon. We stopped at Firehouse Subs, which was the first time for both of us, and it was yummy yummy. The Canyon is so beautiful at this time of year, it was kind of spur of the moment so I didn't really come prepared with my high heel shoes, but we decided to hike up a mountain anyways, and surprisingly they were great for coming down, they dug into the ground helping me keep stable :) it was a perfect day that ended with going home and surprising my mother with our new pajamas! happiest holidays all!

Name Day.

I am so so so lucky to have a name that is celebrated in the Czech Republic and have a whole day dedicated to it! Namedays are a big deal over there it is pretty much your birthday and so i though i would carry on the tradition over here :) I had a wonderful Nameday with great people! Went shopping with my mom at the new outlets in Lehi, they are great by the way, got flowers from Jane, so European i love it, Yougurtland after for my treat, and ended the day with friends watching the other guys, with yummy brownies and ice cream. I might have fell asleep during the movie, but it was still great. What a perfect Nameday!!

enjoy.

saturday.

one thing in my life i have a love/hate relationship with is jam packing my day with things to do. i love doing a million things at once and one thing right after the other, but at the same time it is something im trying to work on, not to do. my saturdays which i think will be a day to sleep always turn into days of craziness, that i love. after getting 3 hours of sleep the night before i spent  my morning at the temple, which was lovely, then i met up with one of my favorite binkys at station 22 for a yummy yummy lunch. it was great to get together and catch up on life. After i was off to work where we had lots of fun with our sale of the year, and then off to dinner with some great friends i havent seen in a while. Dinner was filled with great awkward moments, thanks jake :), and interesting stories i dont know if i ever wanted to hear, but it was needless to say wonderful. To end the day we went to a great hawaiian party for estee and tanner's birthday, which had yummy drinks and great people. loved the day so much but definitely ended crashing in my bed and falling asleep instantly.

the Temple.

i absolutely love the temple! i have had the wonderful blessing of working at the temple for the past two years of my life and it has been the best choice i have ever made. i will admit every saturday when my alarm goes off at 5 a.m i want to just roll over and pretend i didnt hear it, but then i get to the temple and get to hang out with the most amazing people ever. i love seeing the dedicated old ladies who are there every saturday at the crack of dawn to serve the Lord. I love being engulfed with the spirit of the Lord for 6 hours and watch amazing miracles take place. The blessings of the temple are so real and so powerful. I know now matter how my day starts off if i go to the temple i will feel my Heavenly Fathers love. i am so grateful for temples.

enjoy.

Caj Cas

We had a wonderful time with friends and hot drinks. With the weather getting colder we thought it would be fun to get together with friends, with yummy caj, apple caramel cider, mexican hot chocolate, and lots and lots of treats. Loving the weather's change and the holiday spirit in the air! Thanks for all that came.

enjoy.
