Tempus Fugit/Time Flies

Whoa!!! How has it been almost six months since I last posted? I guess time flies when you're busy working like a crazy person and forget to write down all your most memorable experiences like:

1. Moving to the University of Utah (don't worry, we're still die hard cougar fans).
2. Living in an even SMALLER apartment than before (in 1 1/2 years of marriage, we've lived in three apartments...each successively smaller than the previous)...amounting in 530 square feet of fun.
3. Photographing and editing 15 weddings and countless family/engagement/bridal sessions.
4. Supporting Morgan through his first two semesters of graduate school by helping him memorize anatomical terms, being a fake physical therapy patient and letting him test all my reflexes, range of motion, etc.
5. A fun trip to our Bishop's property = horseback riding, hiking, s'moresing, etc.
6. Adventures with bread machines...the first one died after three uses (Morgan bought it used on KSL) and the second one had water poured all over it from the vent in the pantry.
7. Baking and cooking up a storm...here are some of our favorites from recent weeks (and pretty healthy too!):

8. Discovered a love for Chili's (not so healthy).
9. Celebrated our birthdays in high fashion...(Morgan took Cate to the Roof for dinner where they saw Elder Oaks, watched the sunset over temple square, listened to the Pianist serenade them with "their" song, and ate amazing food. Cate wasn't quite as creative but did decorate the house with streamers and balloons, gave Morgan lots of coupons to redeem for things like a homemade dinner of his choice, an hour of playing football together, etc.)
10. Decorated for Christmas on November 6th...which was an improvement on last year's November 3rd. I just can't help my intense love for the Holidays!!
11. Almost forgot to mention...I started working at and insurance company as a receptionist and am loving it. Full time, full benefits, great company and coworkers...we are certainly blessed to have this job. Things were getting tight there towards the end of the summer! Morgan isn't working right now because of his crazy workload, but he might try and find something small in January. For now he is studying like crazy and helping me stay sane by making dinners most nights and doing a lot of the housework. He's my favorite. :)

One of the things I have not been good at is taking pictures of ourselves...I have a lot of other people and their families, but not the two of us. We recently went out and took some fun family pictures for our Christmas cards this year...here is a sampling! If you would like a Christmas card this year, leave a comment or shoot me an email! :)

We are still crazy in love, in case you were wondering.
