Turkey Day!

Nathan and I are finding ourselves having to work during the holidays once again. We had to work on the night before, getting out early Thanksgiving morning. So we spent most of Thanksgiving day sleeping. When we finally woke up in the afternoon, we were sure everyone was done eating but we made it just in time to Nates family's before they put all the good food away. We really wanted to visit his parents but our work schedules just didn't allow it. So we ended up going to Richmond and we got to see some family we hadn't seen since our wedding! That was so much fun! Plus the pies were excellent! When we got home I was exhausted, (plus I had to go into work again that night) so I went back to bed and Nate went back to his cousins to visit. We had a really great time and we hope everyone else did as well! I miss you Mom and Dad! Tell Earl, Tammy, and all my wonderful siblings I love and miss you all! I need you now more than ever through the holidays! We'll visit soon and can't wait to see you! Happy Holidays! Love you all!

The Sacketts and Griffiths under the same roof... OH BOY!

Well Nathan and I finally had the same night off and decided that since we didn't have anything planned we should go to see our good friends Bill and Melissa (which was a long overdue trip!). We loaded Pearl up and headed to Salt Lake. Bill and Melissa have just bought their first house and we were really excited to see it! (when they were all moved in) Then we all went out to dinner and had a lot of fun! When we all get together there is never a dull moment! Between talking, laughing and singing there is hardly time to catch a breath! We always have fun with the Sacketts! I was sure I was going to beat Bill at Monopoly, but as soon as the game started thats when it ended.... well for everyone but Bill. I hung in there for awhile, but i was the first one out! Bill won the game! Then we played some Rock band! That was fun! Over all it was such a fun night! The next day Bill and Melissa surprised me by getting a puppy! A little Black Lab only 2 months old. They named her Maeby. She was sooo cute and shy! Pearl was so excited to have a friend to play with. Only it will take a little longer for her to get used to things. We are planning on going down in a couple weeks so by then she will be more playful and exciting! We are so happy Pearl has a friend to play with now!

Here we are!

We each have our own profiles for our friends and family but this is wonderful because it is about both of us! We are new to blogging so sorry if this is lame! We both work quite a bit. Never having the same times off so that's not always easy. We both work graves but opposite nights which blows. We have a sixteen month old purebred yellow lab named Pearl. She is a handful but we couldn't live without her! We both come from small towns. I was born in South Dakota but moved to Michigan for high school and Nathan is grew up in Utah! We love to go out as much as possible and hang with friends. We plan on starting a family after college and settling down here in Utah. But as for now, we're just living life and having fun!
