i have not bloggered for a long time, i just had to leave that last post up for a long time cause i love my husband so much. not really i have just been lazy. i have been at the american fork branch for 3 months already and i LOVE it. i work with great people and i like being closer to home. i got my car fixed. no more dent in the door. we had a great thanksgiving at grandma and grandpa siddoways in pleasant grove. it was a lot of fun with my moms side of the family. we ate lots of yummy food and made bracelets out of bells, and magnets out of glass disks and scrapbook paper. it was fun to be with family. then on saturday jasons family came to our house and we had turkey dinner. i made my first turkey. i was real nervous but it turned out ok. jason won 3 turkeys at a clay pigion shoot so we had plenty of turkey. he is such a stud. thanks to aunt peg we had stuffing, green bean caserole, and yams. it was a lot of fun and we played games and hung out and had a good time. it has been a great year and jason and i have so much to be grateful for.
my cute friend shannon had her baby and she is so cute. Sienna Lauren Archer is her name and she is beautiful.
It is so cold out we usually come home from work eat dinner and watch tv. not too exciting. jason said to write if you arent watching monday night football tonight then you are stupid. so i guess i am stupid.
we went to the mtc yesterday to church with my mom and dad. my dad has been a branch president there for over 4 years and once in a while we go with them. it is really neat to go there. it has been especially neat lately because jasons brother, who is going on a mission to boston is in their branch right now. so we go to see him and take him some treats. it was pretty crazy that he ended up in my dads branch because 1600 missionaries went in the day he went in and he was assigned to my dads branch. it is fun to see and he looks great and will make a great missionary.
i am going to take lots of pictures so next time i will have lots of pictures of my cat or something. i hope everyone has a merry christmas and a happy new year!
