This year, Dan and I decided to give his family the best surprise poor medical students possibly could! For about 2 months we told Dan's family there was no way we would be able to make it out for Christmas. Everyone thought there was no way we would be coming for the holidays. But secretly Dan and I had made arrangements to drive out to Utah with one of Dan's med school friends and surprise the Millers on their doorstep a few days before Christmas.
The surprise was one of a life time! I don't think we'll ever be able to duplicate it for as long as we live. We're just so glad the beans weren't spilt and the surprise had the impact we had expected.
We're grateful we never ran into bad weather on our way here. We're just hoping and praying for good weather on the way back!
We've been really bummed Idaho didn't have much snow to cross country ski or ice skate. But we are really happy we got to spend time eating delicious food, play plenty of Wii games to last us through next semester, and rest from all our schooling cares!
We also got to visit Kolton!!! He's now staying with Trent in Idaho Falls. He's a little unsure what his future looks like. He just knows he's pretty much done with construction for a while. Construction just takes a lot out of you physically and he's thinking of maybe going to college to get a better job! He's just unsure what he wants to do for the rest of his life. He's been having too much fun playing around! But we really had fun playing video games with him and Trent's kids. They got guitar hero for Christmas and so we all rocked out! It was fun! We also went out to dinner with Kolton tonight and had a good time hanging out and just talking! It's nice to see family!
Tomorrow we head down to Utah for New Years Eve with Sharon and Cyndi (my mom's sisters). We can't wait!!!! But we sure will miss our adorable nephews and niece!
