OH THE HOLIDAYS!
December 2012 - January 2013

PART Deux:
We spent the second part of the break with the Flores side. It worked out great this year because I wasn't going to start my new job until after the new year and Dan had a lot of vacation time built up so we decided to used it and have had a great break! After we finished on the Bishop side we headed out to St. George, We weren't there for Christmas so we had some catching up to do! Normally when we go to St. George we are busy all the time doing fun things. This time we were able to just spend most of the time hanging out with the family and watching movies with the kids. I love it because we always have BBQ's in St. George and now we've added playing dance dance and man they've got some moves!

We were able to do our gift exchange when we got there and it was so fun to see everybody and their Christmas stockpile. They must know us well because Dan's mom got us some sweaters and coats which is very needed in Logan.

Sadie and her gift from us

We were a little sad because originally Dan's mom wasn't going to be in St. George so we didn't think we would see her at all. I especially was sad because she always makes these great health drinks and goes for bike rides and walks so I love visiting, it's a big health kick :) So on Friday Priscilla came and asked if we wanted to road trip to Vegas to pick up his mom, she had decided to come back early so she could see everyone. It's a well known fact that I can't turn down road-trips so off we went. It was warm and relaxing and on our way back we even stopped at a Mexican grocery store so I had Dan show me authentic food to try.

Saturday we went bouldering with some friends. Now I have zero skills in bouldering. I can pretend with sport climbing but not bouldering so I pretty much just watched but then I decided to go for a run and to explore. It was such a cool place that I had a blast! Later on that night all the couples went out to eat for some sushi. I hate sushi, the thought of it makes me wanna puke, however, I am always up for trying anything and for the experience so I thought it was pretty fun, though I didn't like the sushi. Luckily I loved the chicken I got.

Enjoying the great outdoors!

Dan and his skills...

New Years!
Normally in the Bishop household we all break the ice in the pond and jump in, this year we spent New Years on the Flores side. We all hung out and we were supposed to have a pinata but Bruce forgot to bring it over but it was still a lot of fun. We had a feast and played some Dance Dance and enjoyed it not being -13 degrees. 2012 was a great year, Dan graduated and started grad school along with getting a great job. We got to travel a lot and we have enjoyed our 1 1/2 years of marriage so much. It has been a great adventure! I have a feeling 2013 will be just as great!

The next morning we decided to go to the driving range with Dan's brothers. It was a little chilly but it was pretty fun, though I'm not a great golfer. I was sad that we had to leave, especially because the pinata was finally there. It was such a great break with both sides and I wasn't ready to come back to Logan. The upside was that I was starting my new job that I was so excited about! Nothing beats the holidays with family.
