THOUSAND OAKS/LOS ANGELES
So we found out where we will be spending our summer. And to tell you the truth, I can't be happier!!! We will be living in Thousand Oaks, CA. And Troy's area goes from Santa Maria to LA. This will be the closest I have lived to my family in the last ten years (since I moved to Utah). It's a blessing, this way the Whitezell's can see Colby more and it will be less expensive to come back here to visit during the summer! Plus there will be so much we can do out there! We will be there from the end of April to the end of August! So...YAY!!!!!!!!!

Time For an Update, don't you think??
We went out to Tooele (to Jake and Shana's house) for Christmas Eve. We (everyone but myself) went sledding right when we got there! It looked like a blast!! My time will come soon enough when I too can go sledding!
A funny thing: this red jacket is from what I refer to as my "chubby days". Good thing I kept it around, it really comes in handy these days!! I will explain those days another time.
After sledding we ate an awesome dinner, then we were entertained by all the kids (and a few of the grown up ones too) with the story of the Nativity. Look at that cute shepherd, he is so into it!! ;)
Christmas morning. We asked for things for Colby!! Santa is so nice!
We got a Jesus picture too! We were very excited!!
Two days after Christmas we headed down to Cali to visit the Whitezell's for Christmas!! We went to Disneyland! It was way fun, even though I could only ride like 4 rides :(
I had my own ride though. That's right, we rented me an electric wheelchair!! Trust me, I know that every other pregnant lady there was green with envy over mine!! It was probably the best idea we have ever had!! It was me and all the larger older people on them. 
This is on Finding Nemo, probably not anyone's favorite ride, it was the only one we used the wheelchair to cut in line for. (All the good one's I couldn't ride on anyway :( so we only had to wait 45 minutes for this one instead of 2 hrs) Sorry Dustin, your eyes are closed :)
Troy was sent away to ride all the fun stuff with everyone else, somehow on every ride, he had the ability to cover everyone else's faces with his hands!!! My dad still refers to him as the oragutang!! He had fun, I just cruised around with my mom, we rode the train, picked up fast passes for everyone, and watched the parade! Always a treat.
So...there you have it! Our Holidays!! It was a lot of driving, which in my current state was not the funnest time. But I love spending time with family!! We are officially in count down mode!!! Only 5 1/2 weeks left! I am so excited, I have felt for so long like pregnancy would never end! Well it will, and I can't wait!! I don't sleep as well these days, sometimes I cry thinking about going to bed, cause I know I am going to be awake again in just a few hours, and I am so tired!! If this is preparing me for when he is here, I'm a little nervous, I guess I should just plan on him never sleeping! We are slowly accumulating furniture for Colby, we are just getting one thing at a time, everytime we get a new coupon we get something new! We picked up the crib today. It's becoming real!! It's weird, there's actually going to be a baby here!
