If you haven't updated your blog in 2 months . . .

What do you do if you haven't updated your blog in 2 months? Since my last update we have passed 2 major holidays, Joe has been into and out of an arm cast, and a new year has started. That seems like a little much to cover in one post, but I guess I will try to give just a brief update of the last 2 months.

One big event . . . Joe got screwed. Really. He was playing flag football just before Thanksgiving and broke his 4th metacarpal. He had surgery on Wednesday night before Thanksgiving and had 5 screws put into his hand. Ouch!

While he was still half asleep I threw him in the car and we drove to St. George where we spent a wonderful Thanksgiving with my wonderful family. Joe slept through most of the weekend, but we were extremely grateful that he had a chance to rest before getting back to school (and we went swimming outside in November), making for a generally great Thanksgiving holiday.

You may have noticed, but my cute little sis Mindy was more than a little bit pregnant at Thanksgiving. . . and on December 22 she gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, Tabria Orgill. Congratulations Mindy and Nick!! I am so excited to meet my newest niece and am looking forward to making another trip south hopefully in the very near future.

We spent a wonderful Christmas with Joe's family. On Christmas Eve we all went to Temple Square to see the lights; then Joe and I spent several days at his sister's house. Christmas is always more exciting when the house is buzzing with little children.
