Christmas and Basketball

To catch you up.... Jared and I had a super exciting christmas! We started the week off with a Christmas party at Jared's aunts house, it was great and we even got some home made root beer... my favorite... HAHA. That was for you Jay. Then on monday we celebrated a way exciting win against crazy Utah. We won in the last seconds even though the time didn't start and the Ute's coach threw a big temper tantrum, the big baby. It was so great, jared did amazing once again.. He looks so great out there. I suggest you all come see him play:) After the game we spent the next couple of days hanging out at the Quayle's playing the wii. Then on Christmas eve we went to the Spainhower party where we played rock band and hung out with the fam.. We stayed the night at my parents house in some killer jammers, Jared even got a pair that he loves:) On Christmas we were spoiled by both of our parents-- Thank you so much! Jared spoiled me too, he gave me a way cute iPod that I don't think i've set down since I got it. THEN... This week (monday tuesday and Wednesday) is the duel in the desert tournament. Last night they played howard and completely slaughtered them! Jared got an amazing SLAM DUNK... OH WHAT??! it was so awesome.. he looked like MIKE. He ended with 17 points, a season high of 11 rebounds and a season high of 7 assists. He's that good. haha. It was a blast and i'm all ready for the game tonight!

Christmas time!

I'm so excited because I finally got my christmas tree up. My mom really wants to see it so i'll post some pics. I'm so HAPPY! Jared has been going non stop, and really doing an amazing job playing basketball. After the games kids always come and ask for his autograph-- I love it. I had a couple friends over the other day and we decorated some gingerbread men, it was so fun.
Plus, the semester is almost over and the Utah state vs BYU game is this saturday-- Life is good! haha

Since it's almost thanksgiving, I figured I better write a few things i'm thankful for-

First off- my cute husband. I love him. I am so thankful for the time that we are able to spend together when he is actually home. He is such an awesome man, I look up to him in so many ways. I love watching movies with him, and taking our weekly trips to the zoo. I love that he is so dedicated and always on the go- he's definitley not a slacker. I LOVE him. I'm thankful for my parents- for my mom who has to listen to my daily phone calls about the most pointless things. I'm thankful for all that she does for me and for helping make me apartment cute. I'm thankful that she misses me and wants me to come hang out with her- i love her. My dad for always ALWAYS making me smile. For the random phone calls or emails where he tells me he is proud of me. For being a great example to me. I love him. I am thankful for my sisters. Ashley who makes me laugh and who never stops surprising me with her crazy life. For her occasional visits and her cute face. Whitney who is always fun to talk to on the phone. She is so smart and the best example to me- she is the sweetest girl i've ever met. I love them. I am thankful for Jake- my little brother. He is so COOL and just as goofy as his father. He makes me laugh, i love playing games with him whether it be basketball or nintendo. I love him. I am thankful for Jared's family. For ken and maurine who provide us with weekly entertainment. Maurine for always giving us goodies and taking such good care of us. Ken for those looks he gives me when i say weird things-- its the look of 'What have I gotten myself into?' Kody and Tressa for being so fun and having my favorite dog ever. Danni and josh for making me laugh and making fun of me and my blog :) I love the Quayles. I am thankful for my grandparents and Jared's. For the support they give us. I am thankful for my apartment, my job and for the gospel. I am so lucky.

So.. i guess I need to update you all, its been forever. Jared has started playing- and he is doing AMAZING. He is playing the point guard, and is really adapting well. The are so far undefeated-- they've played 4 games, 2 of them were real, and have won every time. Jared's last game was at UC santa barbara, they left to California on Saturday and got home this morning (Tuesday) at 11:30. I was so excited to see him when i came home from school. They had a fun time in California, and won their game by 2. I was able to watch it over the internet... yelling and screaming and clapping at the computer-- I was home alone and my neighbors probably were thinking i was nuts. He scored 9 points and had 6 rebounds- the announcers were amazed that the point guard was getting rebounds- he can jump! We are so excited for thanksgiving- even though i have to work. ugh. I'll post some game pictures soon!

HALLOOOOWEEN

Me, looking so excited to play tripoly, right before I lost. Notice my pile of chips compared to Jareds..

My awesome pumpky.

Happy Halloween! Jared's first game is this Friday, on Halloween! Everyone better come :) He also has his 'Blue and White Game' on Wednesday, which is a little scrimmage and then people ask for his autograph after... haha funny. I'm definitley getting one. This past weekend was pretty good, we did some pumpkin carving and played a little Tripoly ( a sort of fun poker game, I just always get out first and have to watch forever while jared and kody bring in all the chips, but kody tends to cheat by taking my winnings so I don't really count me as a loser). I also went to dinner with my parents at yummy Utah Noodle which was SO good, plus i Love my parents so it was just awesome. My poor Muffy dog got her ear ripped off at the groomer last week, it was so sad! she had to have surgery and get it cut off, so now she has a stub ear and my mom says she looks like shrek. SAD.
