I totally forgot to get a picture of "welcome to AZ" but we drove through NM on our drive home and since i made spence stop to take the pic i figured i better post it.

Spence added it up he drove 24 of the 30 hrs totally drive time...i'm not much of a driver but i am sure a great entertainer...we had some crazy fun games on all of our drives....(i kicked spences butt in all of em.)

We were both kinda ready to come home, spence didn't want to have to start up with school again and i didn't want to miss all the fun stuff that happens on a daily basis in utah. But we made it home. first thing we did was pick up kai...she has been at another kitties house (who happens to be a boy and weights about 20lbs more than her) for 13days! i was excited to see her and hoped she hadn't been too naughty while we were gone. We walked into jamie and james' house and i called for kai and she came running! literally she sprinted from the other room. we paid her room and board fee $20bucks aout a dollar a day what a deal. thanks jamie! and then headed home, hoping our lonely house would still be there and it was! so we decided to unpack and get ready for christmas!

I know me have a christmas tree?? yep, spence has so much christmas spirit it has rubbed off on me! so we put up our cute little tree, drank some hot cocoa, and said good-bye to vacation cause monday morning 8am sharp is another 10wk quarter of med school!

so thats our update, for now! we had a wonderful thanksgiving break and i have to admit i cried a little yesterday to spence cause i know i'm gonna miss everyone more than ever!
