It's the most wonderful time of the year :)

I really need to get blogging more! I can't believe how long it has been! I have not had much to blog about lately. As newlyweds ( I know, I know...we still are) there are so many exciting things happening! It is fun stuff to tell and there is lots of it! Once you settle into a groove though, things are just every day life. There are no big, exciting things happening. You stop celebrating month-iverseraries. You know....we are just normal people doing normal people things! There are a few new things though in the life of the Hons!

Spencer and I got released from our callings. We have been teaching the 5 and 6 year old primary class. I love it so much and I was really nervous when they called BOTH of us in. (They had originally only called Spencer in to meet with them and then he came back out and got me...). I told him, "If they release me from primary I am going to cry." haha well, when I heard the words, "We would like to release you both from your calling as primary teachers"....I was not a happy camper. I might have even said, "nooooo....". Then I got my new calling. Primary Chorister!!! I get to lead the music and still be in primary every Sunday! I will even still see my class! I was a happy camper after that. Spencer got called to teach Sunday School for the 14 year olds. He will do much better in that calling. He teaches better to people that can actually use the scriptures and don't need things repeated about 6 times before they comprehend haha. Spencer is staying with our class until January and I start my calling on Sunday....wish me luck!

We also got to take family pictures with the Hons. I have not seen many of the pictures...actually, I have only seen one! It was fun and stressful but I love the family that I have married into. They are a HUGE blessing in my life!

Spencer and I did something a little different for Christmas this year. Since we don't have a lot of money and we have a lot of things to pay for, we got one big gift for both of us and called it good. We got....A NEW TV!! We got it on Black Friday and just got it last Friday. It goes in our bedroom. We also got an antenna for the other TV so we can watch regular channels too. It's been fun!

We have a class Christmas Party on Saturday that we are really excited about. We are going to decorate cookies, make crafts, and watch a Christmas movie :). It will be our last little Hoorah! with our class before they move up.

Finals are over this week and we are free of school for a while...maybe...ha! It's too much of  a story to tell, but let's just say, I really want a vacation!! I have one more today and then I am done for the semester. I have mostly enjoyed my classes this semester and have learned a lot. Spencer had his last final last night so he is already done...lucky ducky!! Oh well.

That's pretty much it on our side of the world (the Gilbert side)!

Oh wait!! We have been staying at my cousins' house for the past 3 or 4 days while my aunt is in the hospital!! I have two new baby cousins! Rigg and Ezra Hall! They are so cute and their brothers and sisters are already completely in love with them. Mom and babies are doing well and they are waiting to hear when Mom can come home :). It's been a crazy week with a sick husband and driving all around but this is my favorite kind of service!
