Christmas Break

I'm back! I have been busy thoroughly enjoying my Christmas break. Right after my last school final, I flew to San Francisco and had a great time catching up with some of my best friends. I came home for a couple days and then flew to San Antonio to visit my fam. Unfortunately, I got the stomach flu and spent most of the weekend in bed. I went back home for a couple days and then Taylor and I flew to Utah for a week. I don't know what I was thinking when I was planning all this. It was a whirlwind but it made my break seem very long and I have this last weekend to recover before going back to school on Monday.
My mom, brothers and sister all came to Utah for Christmas so it was one big family Christmas. My mom rented a house up in Midway for the Christmas weekend and we really had a blast. They headed home and then we spent the rest of the time with Taylor's family. I took some pictures of our adventures. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!

We went swimming in the crater at Homestead

We went tubing in Park City

We took a carriage ride on Christmas Eve

We opened our presents on Christmas Eve (yes we know we are too old for this picture but my mom insisted)

We saw two bald eagles sitting right next to each other (didn't get my camera out fast enough)

We ate at our favorite restaurant, Cafe Rio, five times. (don't judge)

We took pictures with Taylor's family.

Deli Boy

When I first met Taylor he was a manager at Gandolfo's New York Deli in Provo. Anyone who has lived there remembers this great sandwich shop. We would always go out after Taylor got off work and he would always smell like deli. I don't quite know how to explain the smell  but if you ever find yourself in Provo, go down to the basement of Gandolfos and you will smell it. I use to tease him about it and call him "deli boy" but secretly I LOVED it. Just the thought of the smell makes me smile. About a month ago we ran into the new owner of Gandolfos in the Dallas/Fort Worth area at a charity event. He and Taylor ended up talking for over an hour and last week Taylor accepted a job offer. Taylor will be starting at Gandolfos at the beginning of January. I am so excited to have my deli boy back. This is such a wonderful opportunity and I so him proud of him. This past month he has been working full time at Vivint, part time at Gandolfos (trial run) and has been going to school full time. (I know he is crazy) On top of everything, he has been keeping the house together and been so supportive of me. I am such a lucky girl.
