A little update:
1. I have been using this beauty. I have cooked almost every night. For those of you who don't know, it's a big deal for me to cook. I only know how to cook about five meals, I learned how to cook all of these meals on my mission. Let's just say I am not the best of cooks.
I love this candy apple red KitchenAid. She works like a charm.
2. There was a huge snow storm on Tuesday. The roads were/are plowed horribly. I got stuck, I almost had a breakdown because I didn't know whom to call. Mitch was at work and we are a one car family. Luckily the Honda pulled through like champ.
3. On Thursday, Mitch and I went and saw the play, "The Christmas Carol". It was at a barn out in the country. In the picture you can see Mr. Scrooge, who was so fabulous, and Santa. That man really looks like Santa, don't you think? I think it really might be him.
4. On Friday, while I was stopped at a stop light, someone hit our car. They hit me so hard my glasses flew off. No one got hurt, but the Honda has to go to the shop and get fixed.
5. We also went to our ward party on Friday, we made friends. I know this sounds pathetic, but let me remind you, we know NO one out here. My closest friend is in Lincoln, Nebraska, four hours away. It was the most excited I have ever been to go to a ward party.
6. Our furnace also broke on Friday. Our house was in the 40's. Thank goodness we have an awesome landlord who fixed our furnace this morning.
7. We went to an NFL football game this weekend. The Vikings vs. the Bangels. Mitch's friend plays for the Bangels and got us free tickets. Pictures are shown below. We had a fabulous time.
We come on Thursday!
I can't wait to see our beloved families,
cherished friends,
beautiful mountains
and pure, white, puffy snow!
Loves,
Sj
Can you see the lake? It's still frozen over.
After the marathon, Mitch was a great support!

If you look in the distance, you can see the lighthouse
(Image above is where my husband has been since 1:30 pm. He hasn't moved. His eyes are fixed to the t.v. and he is thrilled the Phil Mickelson has had two eagles today.)
We are back in Minnesota. Utah went by in a second, I can't believe that we are already home to Minnesota (please notice that home = Minnesota, slightly strange). We are very thankful to be here and are excited to see what the future holds.
