handmade christmas '09

we had a great christmas this year! it was a tad stressful, with the big move looming, but it was enjoyable. we got to see family and relax a little. i have some great pictures to share, but i probably won't get those up until the move. here is one, however that my cousin jordan took at the white family christmas party! i heart Polaroids.


i didn't have as much time this year to make handmade gifts. bryan and i had grand plans of making puzzles on the laser cutter, but after a day full of mishaps, we ditched that idea. maybe next year! i did get a little bag of farm animal finger puppets for peny and her cousins! i thought they could play with them in church, or use them to sing old macdonald had a farm... e-i-e-i-o. here they are... i know they look a little like aliens...

moving to sandiego

bryan graduates in a couple of days!!! wahoo. he was offered a sweet job at kyocera wireless in san diego and we decided to accept! so, we took a trip out to california to find a place to live. finding an apartment in san diego is considerably easier than finding one in NYC. we found a great apartment and we will head down on the 30th! i will really miss provo and being close to family, but we are excited for this adventure!

here are some pics from our apartment searching trip...we didn't get any of our new digs, but i will post those once we move.

bryan's new place of employment
