It is Thanksgiving break and we are SOOOOOOO happy! :-) This is the first day-offs we've had since the semester started. Believe me, it is MUCH needed. I decided to do a quick post while I am waiting for Michael to go running (he's being a good boy and reading his scriptures).
Our plans this Thanksgiving??? Considering these are our first free day in months, we are going to.... RELAX!!!!! Also, we plan on getting our apartment more in order and buying Christmas presents (which I am super excited to do!). I also got a coupon yesterday for a cheap shampoo, hair cut, and style, so I am going today to get the job done (much needed).
On ACTUAL Thanksgiving, we are going to the Airport Radisson and eating a GREAT meal with Michael's family, staying up till late hours partying with them, then sleeping in a nice hotel room (all provided by Michael's grandparents). I'm excited that I can have a great meal without having to PREPARE IT.
Well, Michael indicates he is done, so I will end this...
Stay in tune for some PICTURES!!!! :-)

Welcome To Michael and Christi's Blog!
Hello friends and family!
We've been meaning to start a blog for a while to keep people updated with what we are up to. It's kind of funny what finally got us started. I (Christi) had to do a paper for English in which I had to test out somebody's instructions that they had written. One of the instructions happened to be how to create a blog, so I decided to "hit two birds with one stone" and create a blog WHILE doing my English project. Hooray for multi-tasking!
Just for a quick update--
We are both in school at BYU. We both "finish up" in April of 2009. Unfortunately, both of us picked majors that require further education, so we really aren't "finished up." Michael will be graduating in Linguistics and Christi will be graduating in Audiology and Speech Language Pathology, both which require at least a Masters to do anything fun.
We are both working. Michael is at the NMELRC (National Middle Eastern Language Resource Center) working with various tasks in the office and Christi is with the University Accessibility Center transcribing for hard of hearing students. Christi also recently got a temporary job helping with some language research involving elementary school children.
We are currently the ward librarians at church--a calling neither of us have had before. It's different, for sure, especially since it doesn't involve any planning/preparation during the week. We basically do these three things: (1) show up, (2) tidy up, and (3) round up (missing supplies).
We are in the Family History Sunday School class right now and are learning much we didn't know about our family members! What a fun class! We are learning all about how to use PAF and how to use FamilySearch.org. We have much to learn, but are loving it!
Other than those things, we are adjusting to the newness of married life (and enjoying it along the way), playing with family (we love our nieces and nephews!), organizing our house, and preparing for Halloween!!! We are happy and healthy!
