Finally..

So it has been forever since I have blogged and I have quite a bit to catch up on! We were very busy this holiday season but had an absolute blast! For Thanksgiving we flew out to Chicago to be with Kelins family and spent about a week there. It was so much fun and I know Kelin had an absolute blast being able to be with his whole family all together again! Kelin got to play basketball with his brothers and dad, and even got to go black Friday shopping. It was also a very relaxing time for us because Julie, Kelin's mom watched Kennedy a ton and we were very grateful for that! I even got to go tanning a bunch in Julie's tanning bed, which was very nice because I dont get to see the sun very often living in Rexburg;) Kennedy had a great time and even got to meet her cousins for the very first time! She had a great time playing with them and stayed up until 11 almost every night..she normally doesnt do this ha!  We all had such a great time being with Kelin's family and the time flew by way too fast! I wish we would have taken more pics!

For Christmans we were off to Utah to be with my family. We had a great time relaxing and I especially enjoyed being around my sisters and mom again because it has been a while since we have all been together! Kelin had a rude awakening realizing how is life is going to be with girls however because he grew up with all brothers! Lets just say their were a few cat fights and hormones raging at times and Kelin didnt quite know how to handle it:) but my sisters and I eventually made up and got over it quickly! I told Kelin this is what he has to look forward to when Kennedy gets older if we have anymore girls. I think he is really hoping our next baby will be a boy now! My favorite part of the trip was going to the Salt Lake temple and looking at the temple lights. All of us were very cold besides little Kennedy who was wrapped snuggly in her stroller with blankets, gloves, and ear muffs. She didnt make a sound the whole time we were there! She was so amused with everything going on around her. Christmas was great and Kennedy was very spoiled! I loved that Christmas was on a Sunday this year and it was so nice being able to go to church and remember the true meaning of Christmas.

After the holidays we got all settled back in Rexburg and Kelin started a new semester and was doing great! After about a week and a half Kelin got an email saying he was selected in the top 13 to recieve an accounting internship in Utah and that they would be choosing 3 to come to Utah. We had been praying about Kelin doing an internship for a while and so I knew he was going to get it! Sure enough we found out a few days later that Kelin got the internship and we had to be in Utah in a week. After a quick freak out session we quickly made plans to move to Utah! We have been here for a little over a week now and Kelin is 3 days into his internship. He is loving it and getting along with his boss great! We are so grateful for how everything worked out and came together for us to be here! Everything just fell into place so perfectly and I am so grateful to my Heavenly Father for helping us and blessing us with this opportunity. I have seen his hand in our lives so much since we have been married and I am thankful he has been with us on this journey. Kelin's internship wasnt going to be paid and we found out 2 days ago that he will be getting paid! I am grateful for the tender mercies of the Lord and I know he loves all of his children and as long as we reach out to him and include him in our lives he will be there for us and help us in all things. We will be in Utah until April and then Kelin will have 3 more semester left(one year) I look forward to the journey ahead of us  with great faith and excitement!!:)
