Good morning Christmas

Christmas eve picture

This year was new to both Hyrum and I. We stayed in Boise and partied with the Wilson/Agnew/Thompson families on Christmas eve. They supplied some delicious baby back ribs. Ohhh my goodness....its rare when we get to indulge in some good ribs, and they were soooo good! Then some fun and games and some classic women in the kitchen chatting like a bunch of hens. We opened some christmas eve presents, and the everyone was so nice including us in their gift giving. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! Hyrum and I then headed home for some Wilson and Jordan family Christmas eve traditions with our Christmas pj's and some readong from Luke.

Christmas morning ariving at 8:30am, a little later than we are both used to. After rise and shining we headed to the christmas tree with some festive music bringing us christmas cheer. We opened some amazing presents and shared some more of our families Christmas traditions. Ozzie got some wet dog food and a new toy, and he LOVED them both. Both Hyrum and I werent as homesick and we thought we would have been, thats a big step for me.

Then onto Christmas breakfast. Its tradition in my family to have boxed cereal (dad always tries to throw in a little somthing healthy), but along with the cereal we threw in some egss and ham and some cinnamon rolls. YUM! After a quick nap and a festive movie we settled back in our pj's and had a very merry christmas.

FA LA LA LA LA

Tiss the season to be jolly! I love Christmas time!!

I miss my job

It's true, I miss doing hair. I left Provo, UT to Boise, ID and paid my dues so my license could follow me too. I have been waiting for about a month for my license to come in the mail and I thought the day had come when I got some mail from the Idaho board of licensing. It wasn't my license, it was an application to take the Idaho state boards. I HATE taking the boards with all my heart. Not only do I hate taking test, but I hate that I have to take a test that I already passed 4 years ago, and was told I wouldn't have to take it again for Idahos cosmetology license, and I have to pay an arm and a leg to take. There are 2 parts to the test, written and practical...neither fun.

So, here's the plan. I get a job doing something else in the mean time while I get my money and practical exam kit together (cost about $800 for the whole kit last time I took the practical). I already have a job lined up in a salon and they said they will keep the chair open for me and I'm still allowed to go to the shows the salon is putting on, but since I don't have my license all I can do is watch, no touching the models hair:(

So, if anyone hears of a job that will do me some good let me know. In the mean time I am excited to see when this can all happen cause I'm DONE waiting.

Now that I have vented to my blog, cause I'm sure Hyrum and my mom are sick of hearing about it, I feel better and will be a more positive person:)

I'M AVAILABLE!

Name: Ozzie Wilson

Hometown: West Jordan, UT

Interest: Long walks, rope toys, belly rubs

Lookin for: A fine k-9 who shares my same interest and wont go potty inside

I just thought this picture of Ozzie was soooo funny! Hyrum said it looks like I put lipstick on him:) I think that this is the face that most teenage girls make when they look in the mirror (like they always have their lips persed like that..haha!)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

Hyrum finally turned 24 on the 5th! We decorated with some paper chains and had some yummy decorated cupcakes. Since Hyrum is still in the academy he is so sleepy when he comes home. So Friday we went to dinner and we were going to catch a birthday movie. But like I said, he's sleepy on week nights, so we vetoed the movie and ended the night with just dinner. Sat we woke up, went for a birthday run and headed to the Meridian Christmas perade which featured the Wilson 5 with the Meridian Fire Dept and Shawnas mom passing out candy. It was so much fun! We love parades. Then we headed home for some partying. We ate lots of good, but bad for you, food and decorated plenty of cupcakes for Hyrums birthday cake! Thanks for all the help and for the good times!

GOBBLE GOBBLE GIGGLE

YUM!!!

John and the turkey lurkey

This my contribution

T-DAY! I love the holiday season! This year was so much fun, we went to Glenn and Shawnas and enjoyed some family festivities. We had delicious turkey,stuffing,rolls,potatoes and much much more. After eating and eating and eating we went on to some good times playing some pretty amazing games. Im not much of a game person, but we played some good ones tonight and don't you worry I made a fool of myself at least 5 times:) Then we moved onto pie times and ELF. Laura gave me a VERY yummy recipe for some pear pie. Mad props to her for a good recipe find. Thank you for such a fun Thanksgiving!

NOW! Time for Christmas!!!! I made sure I was cooking and baking to some very festive christmas music just to gear me up for the season! Bust out the dollar store christmas lights and Hyrums redneck stocking!! YAHOO!

Thanksgiving

This year Hyrum and I will be in Boise for our Turkey day. Thankfully Glenn and Shawna will also be here along with Shawna's family (who we LOVE!) will be here too. We have been assigned the green bean casserole and some pumpkin pie. I'm so excited to cook and EAT! I'll have to contribute a little Jordan sumtin sumtin for the sake of tradition. Nobody has to eat it, just let me make it:) I love the holidays and Im so excited to get them started. Hyrum and I are also going to be here for Christmas and Im excited to get some of our own traditions going and this year is the perfect opportunity for that.

Hyrum has been working so stinking hard while he is in the fire academy. Its a tough academy! He wakes up at 6:00am, goes to the academy, comes home, eats dinner quickly, goes right to studying, and between 8:30pm and 9:30pm he is in bed. That doesn't leave much time for me to say hello or good bye! But as soon as I have my cosmetology license in hand I will start working at Atomic Salon which is a Paul Mitchell salon which will be great for me to go back and work with a lot of the products I learned and worked with while I was in school. Cross your fingers I remember everything!

Anyways, there is your update!

Family time!

2 weeks ago the Jordan family came from the east and west to North Tahoe for some good times. We were all together for a quick 3 days. It was so much fun! There was plenty of hot tubbing, laughing, happy birthdaying and of course PLENTY of eating. I love getting together with my family, nothing ever goes wrong and everyone is always happy.

Lake Tahoe is BEAUTIFUL! I would love to there again sometime soon.

Trick or treat!

I went over to Lauras and barrowed all hger dental gear and Hyrum was going to be rodeo goodness but left his costume in the car. So basically I was Laura for Halloween and Hyrum was Hyrum.

Then we took our nephews and neice out trick or treating and their mom and I held some bags out for some candy to and people hooked us up! We are over 14 years old for sure, but they still gave us yummy candy:)

bah ha!!!!

We still have lots to do in our new place, but we are so excited to finally be here!! It's nice to live somewhere that was built within the last 10 years. Not the last 700. We didn't post our bedroom, the guest room, guest bath or master bathroom because they really aren't finished yet. But, if you come to visit we will bust out that guest room for you and pull out our new pull out couch!

We can't move into a 2 bed 2 bath apt till October 17th. I cant wait for the oppertunity to get out of basement apts with teeeny tiny windows. Im movin up in the world to the full size windows!!! boo yeah! So, if you get bored in California, Utah, Arizona or Michigan please feel free to come pick potatoes with us in Boise!

FINALLY!

I finally made it. And I don't mean my first time blogging! After taking my fourth firefighter exam, I made it all the way through the process. Marge and I will be moving to Boise, Idaho so i can work for North Ada County Fire & Rescue, better known as NACFR. I will start the Fire Academy on Nov. 3rd. Couldn't have done it without the support from my family. Also i would like to thank Glenn for keeping his ear to the ground and watching out for departments that were hiring. Can't wait to do some tailgating. Go Broncos!

Marg VS Dave

So Dave ( my brother in law) and I have the luck of all luckies. We like to call into radio stations and try to win free stuff. Maybe it's because we're cheap and we'll take every free thing that comes our way.

To be honest I wouldnt even post this blog if I werent winning. So far this year I have won two sets of concert tickets and one movie pass. Thanks to KBULL 93 I now have Toby Keith tickets for the 20th. Unfortunatley Hyrum and I have only been able to go to one event. We left early. Aaron Tippin was not all we had hoped for. Couldnt make it to the movie and now we cant go see Toby Keith:(

ONE YEAR!

Hyrum and I just celebrated one year together by going to Park City where we honeymooned and drove to Logan in the morning to go to the Logan temple where we were sealed. SO MUCH FUN!

camping!

We took a trip up the Alpine Loop with the Walls. It was so much fun! No bears or snakes disturbed us, thank goodness. Started the first night with some tin foil dinners. Then Hyurm finished the night off by making some delicious peach cobbler. After a restless night (thanks to Oziie felt like it was his job to walk around the tent all night) we got up and had a great dutch oven breakfast. Then we went for a little jont through the woods...the story with that one will soon faollow.

Something is FISHY!

This last week we had a family reunion with Hyrums brothers and sisters. Here are a few pictures from the day with the fish
