For starters, we had our one year anniversary :) Jonny took me to Ruby River in Salt Lake for dinner. Then we walked around Temple Square to look at all of the Christmas lights, which was beautiful.
After the lights we went to a cute little pastry shop down town that I love. When my mom, sisters and I went to Paris we fell in love with the fruit tarts, and this place in Salt Lake is the closest we can find to the real thing. Delicious!
Our anniversary was so wonderful, we had a great time. Next came Christmas. We decided to buy a couple new decorations for our place and this is what we got. They were super cheap at Tai Pan so I was pretty excited about them..
We also decided to get a tree. I wanted a fake one so we wouldn't have to buy a new one next year too. It's not very big, but I love it. It was really fun to decorate my own tree!
On Christmas Eve we went to Jonny's parents' house. It was really fun to be with them. Every year for Christmas they make cheese fondue for dinner, and this year was no different! It was my first time trying it, and although I might have to get used to the taste, it was pretty dang good.Then we drove up to my parents house that night so we would wake up with them Christmas morning. My goodness, we were really spoiled this year. My favorite gift was an adorable fossil watch that Jonny got me. I love it! Jonny also got a watch, his just isn't as cute :) It's a running watch with a heart rate monitor and all that stuff.
Christmas morning!
My sister's husband, Jordan, had his birthday while they were out here for break so I made him a cake. I made my white chocolate fudge torte (just as delicious the second time, might I add..) and then this cake.. I am really liking this whole cooking thing!
Favorite picture from Christmas break. Jackson looooves his Grandpa!
The family got the country and the classic rock rockbands, so we had a good time with those. Enjoy the singing in the video, it's the Lords family, what do you expect? :) Regardless of my family's singing abilities, Jackson couldn't resist the beat!
In other news, school has started again. Jonny will be graduating in August, and I will in December (a semester early!!) I quit the law library and now work as a custodian in the Administration building on campus. It may not seem very glamorous, but I love it. It's nice to get up early, and the job is pretty relaxing.
This semester Jonny is doing research in an infant lab with a professor, which is pretty cool. He is also working with another professor to get a study (which he did last semester) published in a journal. He also became a mentor for a kid from where he works, so he's going to be pretty busy! I am a public health major, and just switched to the epidemiology track, which I am really excited about. It's a lot of fun. I think we are really going to enjoy this semester!
