Trails 2 Travel

So since we've been home a month and I haven't posted anything I thought it might be a good idea to catch every one up on January!. So here goes... > Me on my first day of class in my last semester! So excited! Oh and I have bangs again! haha This semester seems like it's going to be easy peesey! I've only got 5 classes (12 credits) and a 4 credit internship! First up: International nutrition where we learn about all the diseases plaguing developing worlds mostly. Oh and I get to write a dietary intervention for a family in Malawi... who I will discuss in a future post, because let's face it... coolest project ever! Second: Worksite health promotion: quite possibly the most difficult of all my classes, but something interesting as I might want to do corporate wellness. Well we will see how it goes. Third: Exercise Science Philosophical and ethical issues. Basically represents my last religion class because we tend to talk about that the most. But it seem...

 So to finish off any other posts about Christmas time I thought I would post some pictures of our tree in the making. We got a whole bunch of boxes from kneaders, and Tyler being as amazing as he is, somehow made them into pyramids. Then the only logical things to do... was to spray paint them green.  I felt so artistic. haha Then we put screws in along the bottom edge of each layer and hung ornaments off of those ( all of my ornaments from growing up plus Ty's and my 2 ornaments) and strung lights around the edge and there is a barely visible star at the top. Basically coolest fake tree ever, and when we are done we will just throw it away! No storage for us! The final product: :]  Back down in Yuma we had some fun on our last night in town. We played all sorts of games including the infamous Fibber! Basically it is BS but with noses you get to put on each time you tell a lie! So fun! and nerdy! Ty lied a ...

 So then started my adventure to Yuma. I drove down pretty much by myself. I had Ollie and another girl from BYU who rode along silently with me... but pretty lonely. It was crappy weather but I rocked it in like 10 hours. FUN saturday let me tell ya I took this picture to mark my first night since marriage (almost 2 years) that I've slept in a bed all by my lonesome. Not a fan.  The trip was a ton of fun! On Monday I helped Jen finish up the last of her homeschool work... that's what these faces were for. And the we washed the cars. It was so pleasant outside and we were soaked from the hose, we thought why not jump in the pool... It's bound to be about the same temperature... So we did. First Lauri did a dive, then the Jen. They dove in, and then hopped right back out! She was swimming for her life to get out!  Then it was my turn....  The water was FREEZING (coldest water I've ever gotten into) + I didn't want to get my hair wet...
