An Amazing Week!!

Wow. We had so much fun this week with Gerald and Bekah. We did so much. For more detail...check out their blog. But we ended the week with a bang at DISNEYLAND! That was so cool. I am so glad we went. We are missing them so much already.

Well, It is Christmas Eve! It is hard to believe. There is no snow, no family and it is sorta weird. But its good. We are hanging out today, waiting for some packages (that we are very excited for!) and we are shopping for food for our Christmas feast.

Mike and Joni are coming over tomorrow to eat Christmas dinner with us, That will be great. I hope that everyone has an amazing Christmas and we are missing you!


P. S. We have a lot more pictures at http://hope.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2031432&l=91efc&id=11402844

Gerald and Bekah!

We are getting ready for Gerald and Bekah to arrive!! They are coming to visit for the week and we are sooooo excited. For those who don't know, Gerald is Nate's cousin and Bekah is his super sweet girlfriend. We are very excited to see them and have a chance to have visitors!

Last night we spent some time with some new friends, Crystal and Sean. They are really cool. We had a lot of fun with them! We got dinner at an overpriced Mexican restaurant (we will never go there again!) and then went back to hang out at his apartment. It was a good relaxing weekend.

Maddi is sick. She has an ear infection. Yuck. She is pretty miserable, so we brought her to the vet yesterday morning. They gave her all of her shots and did an exam and it was so expensive! I think vets here are more expensive too!

I don't think Nate ever wrote about the huge waves we had. About a week ago their were 15 - 20 foot waves...it only happens about once a year. It was amazing. I will add a picture of that!

Well, we are going to get ready to pick them up at the airport! Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Christmas is coming!

It sure doesn't feel like it here! No snow...but there are plenty of Christmas decorations and even a Christmas Parade. We went to the OB Christmas parade...It was very interesting, but fun! There were lots of crazy people and floats! And of course lots of VW buses :)
We also had lunch with Mike and Joni. Not too much else new, we just hung out this weekend and relaxed!
What did you do this weekend?
