Getting back into the habit of everything didn't take too long. School started for Ross on Mon the 10th and this semester is proving to be the craziest schedule to date. Out of the 5 classes he is taking, 4 of them are in the evening. So once I get home from work, I see him for about an hour or so before he goes to class. And to top that all off, being part of Trial Advocacy (similar to mock trial but for law school) he has to attend the meetings/practices...and these happen to be all day Saturday and Sunday. Since I will be spending a lot of time by myself this semester I plan on starting my scrap booking again. The first step is getting all the stuff organized.
Other than school starting and getting used to the new schedule, not much else is going on. Work for me has been really busy but at least it helps make the day go by fast...at least most of the time. I'm just thankful I have a job. Well, not too much to write about...keeping it short and sweet!

2011
2011 sure did come fast. December was so busy for us that I didn't have time to post anything. We survived finals and both of us were happy when the semester was officially over. Ross had a few days to relax before we packed our bags and headed home to Colorado for Christmas to surprise the family. We spent 10 days at home visiting family and friends and making tons of holiday memories.
We surprised Ross' family Christmas Eve and spent the evening at his aunt and uncle's place. It was so much fun walking in and being able to wish everyone a Merry Christmas in person this year! We spent Christmas Day at Mom and Dad's where Shaun got a pretty exciting gift from our Uncle Tim from North Dakota. I posted the video of him opening his gift. Later that evening we went to Shaun's place where we played the new Kinect. It's a video game where your entire body is the controller. The entire family got into it and we had a blast watching each other move about trying to play this video game.
While at home we went to our first Broncos game, which they just so happened to win. Watching the game live in person is completely different than watching it on TV. The atmosphere and experience was great and now that we got a taste of it, we want to go back for more! After the Broncos game, we enjoyed some amazing homemade Mexican food at my Uncle Randy's in Parker. And nothing goes better with Mexican food than margaritas!
One of the more relaxing things we did was head to the mountains and do a little 4-wheeling. We rode with Shaun in his new jeep and my parents followed behind in one of the jeeps from Dad's lot.
Our goal was to find some snow since the last time we saw snow was before we moved. I was so happy when we found snow that we had to stop so I could make a snow angel. I kind of forgot how cold snow really is. Either way, I still wanted to make my snow angel. We found a small stream or river of water that we had to drive through. I posted a video of both jeeps going through. Ross and Shaun are in the first one and Mom and Dad are in the second one. What a great time with awesome scenery!
The rest of the week was spent driving all over the place to see family; Colorado Springs, Denver, Fountain. Even though we weren't able to see everyone, we still had a great time. In addition to seeing family and friends, we got to see our two dogs we had to leave behind when we left. They didn't look the same considering they are about 15-20 pounds heavier. At least we know they are in good hands and living the easy life. To top it all off, it even snowed the last two days we were there!
We got back home to California late January 1 which meant nothing but laundry and relaxing from travel the next day. Ross had one more week off from school before classes start on the 10th. I however, had to go back to work on the 3rd. After being gone for 10 days it sure is hard to get back into the swing of things.
I've posted a few pictures from our trip, the rest of them can be seen in the slide show on the right. Enjoy!
