The White family

Thinking about Christmas time has really made me super homesick. I come from a HUGE family! and I love each one of them!

It makes me feel very sad that I won't be able to spend some quiet moments with my mom in the quiet room talking about what ever is on our mind and enjoying our wonderful friendship that has grown so strong! Or those crazy moments at Wal-mart with all the kids, but still enjoying every minute because I am with my amazing mom!

I am going to miss all the little chocolate goodies that my dad has my mom buy for me...He knows how to win me heart;) and I will miss the wonderful early morning runs with my dad. I always enjoyed our talks on those runs.

It breaks my heart when I think that my little brothers and sisters are growing up and getting old and changing with out me there! It literally hurts me that I can't be with them.

I really miss being with Scott and Seth. I really respect and admire each of those boys so much for who they have become. They are such wonderful men and I am so proud to call them my brothers.

I really miss joking around and singing random songs with my sister Trina. She has this way of making me happy. I miss matching our outfits and teasing each other all the time~

Early Christmas!

So quick story: One day Markee and I were out shopping for Christmas presents for our sweet husbands. We walked into the wonderful world of Wal-mart and within 5 minutes we made a very impulsive yet wonderful decision...We decided that I was going to buy Ryan Band Hero and Markee was going to buy Eric the wii....This is a little ironic because Ryan and I don't even own a functioning TV let alone a wii, but we just decided that we would leave the Band Hero at the Stoners and play there when ever school, work and life allows! It was probably one of the best decisions of our lives. The boys were so excited to open their presents early!
You can just see the sheer joy on their faces.
Here they are posing before their lives changed for ever
At this moment I think our husband realized how blessed they are to have such amazing wives...can't you just see that thought process on their faces?

Ginger Bread Houses!

So a little while ago we bought some sweet roller blades at a garage sale, this was right after buying new bikes. I was telling my mom abou this and she said that it seems like I am trying to relive my childhood...hmmmm....maybe I am! Maybe its just because I am so homesick I am trying to reconnect with my childhood when I was at home... or maybe it is because childhood is so fun! I really don't see why the rest of my life can't just be an extra long childhood. I know Ry-guy is on board for that, so why not?
So along those lines, last week on one of our late night wal-mart trips I had this fabulous idea! Why not make ginger bread houses this year with our friends the Stoners? How fun would that be?!?! So we bought over 20$ worth of goodies to let our sweet creative juices flow!

It was the Stoners, the Lovelands, and Jesse Burt and his sweet girlfriend Lindsey. We had a contest....hehe guess who won?!?!

This was just some of the goodies! Oh man my pancreas got a workout that night :)

I couldn't control myself!
It was a mess!
This was our Russian palace!

We had the Stoners neighboors come over and judge it. Jesse and Lindsey got 3 rd place with their Japanese Tower of pain.
The Stoners got 2nd place with their White House.
Ryan and I were pretty stoked that our creative juices awarded us with FIRST place!! Ha I am not sure why, I think the judges felt bad for Ry and I!

Night on the Town!

The other night was a LONG night! We had to do a test that ended up taking 5 hours! It was probably because we weren't prepared for it...But still that's crazy! It was about critical care nursing and was pretty in depth. Well we passed, and after that we HAD to take a break. Granted it was around 4 a.m. so there was no where else to go but IHOP, so IHOP we went! We actually had a blast that night. After IHOP we went to Wal-mart and got some goodies for some Ginger bread houses we are going to make on Sunday, then we hit th YMCA and pumped some IRON!! The picture above is Ry and I at IHOP waiting for our food.
The pic above is me enjoying my 4 a.m. omlet...there is something so wrong about that, that makes it so right! (hey we worked out afterwards....right....?)
This Ry so engrossed in the goodness of IHOP... For him it is always the time for ultra bacon, sausage, beef omlet!
Ry insisted I put this pic up. This is me in the Wal-mart parking lot. Ryan had recently bought me this coat, he likes it a lot so he wanted me to document it for our posterity...

So this was a very busy week with school. This week started off with our heater broken on Monday! It was horrible. We only had Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday this week to get homework done and have you ever had to do homework in a fridgid living room? Oh man, it doesn't work! Ryan let our landlord know about it and in the mean time he went and got a space heater at wal-mart so that I could get some homework done. This picutre is of me bundled up with the heat warmer at my feet so I could stay warm. (Note the sweet arm warmers)

But we did have a bright spot of our week! Markee's birthday was on Tuesday, so on Monday we stayed up til midnight so we could wish her a happy birthday! Then her husband was so sweet and bought her a pedicure for her and a friend, so we got to go get our feet done! It was the first time I ever got a pedicure and it was so neat! Thanks E-dog! Then we went shopping and we got to hang out the rest of the day! Ryan and Eric went and looked at motorcycles while we were shopping. It was such a nice break from work and school.

After that we had to buckle down and do home work and then work the rest of the week. Tonight I am sitting at work there are no paitents at the moment so I thought I'd take a second to blog. It was so fun the Stoners came and stopped by and brought Ryand and I some delicious blizards! Thanks guys! Of course my coworkers absolutely fell in love with Nash. Its just about impossible not to fall in love with hime though! Ry and I hope we can have a baby half as cute as him.

We had a going away party for the sister missionairies in our ward. This sumer Ryan and I got to be really close with them. We were sad to see them go, but we are excited that they promised to come back and visit us!
This is Ry-guy and Slick Rick scarffing down the delicious grub!

This is Sister Smith and Markee and Nash.

Nash is the Stoners little boy. He is the CUTEST boy in the world. He was being so cute that night. For some reason he feel in love with the potato...He walked around using it as a pacifier. Ha! He was so cute!

Above are the "Big Dogs" Ryan and Eric...They are goof balls, but you gotta love them. They actually made the meal. We had cheeseburgers and fries. Thanks Big Dogs...Your the best!

This is Markee...I think she was really enjoying her meal...Hehe She came over early to help us get everything together. Thanks!
