The Leavitts Lately..

Nathan and I have been really busy with school this semester - and taking summer classes did not help, we were completely burnt out and counted down the days until Christmas Break was here! This is probably going to be long post, so prepare yourself - I guess thats what happens when you never update your blog.Towards the end of the summer we finally started getting some fruit on the peach tree - and they were delicious! We tried making a Peach Almond Bread, but it wasn't that great, especially when you have the Leavitt family recipe for zucchini bread (I made a lot this summer).

Don't those just look delicious?!?!...they were! Once summer ended - we were busy with school, but I already told you that, so I guess that means that we are looking for sympathy? Anyone? No, ok - that's fine too. We had told the secretary at the institute that we were just busy with school all the time, and she asked "do you ever do anything to take a break?" Nathan and I looked at each other and said "no" at the same time - after that I kind of decided that there was more to life than just school, so we started renting one or two more redbox movies - talk about adventurous. But I think that there was a lesson we learned that day.

Then came October - which means Halloween, and I LOVE decorating for Halloween. I don't have pictures of the house, but for the Ward Christmas party Nathan and I dressed up as Woody and Bo Peep from Toy Story - it was a hit, but so were the other four that were at the party...

Let's see...after October comes November. We were really excited for the the coming Thanksgiving Break to spend time with family and take the much needed break from school. Nathan's sister Emily got married in Rexburg the Friday of the beginning of the break. It was a really nice wedding, Emily looked smokin hot - too bad she didn't compensate for the freezing cold weather though. I can't believe I lived there for two years and didn't die from being so cold. We also got to see Amber & Zach and the boys - it had been almost a year and a half since we had seen them, and they have gotten so big!

After the wedding we drove to Lewiston, stayed a few days, made gingerbread houses and then drove further to Pierce, Idaho, population 617 - a very small town, but half of my family seems to be living there. We had lots of fun playing games and eating a lot of food.

Now December has arrived, and it's nearly Christmas, and yes, we did survive the semester. We hope you all have a very Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!
