So much has happened since my last post, end of school, Christmas, New Years, Sugar Bowl, Winter break, and now school restarting. Obviously I can't tell every detail of all these events but I want to share the highlights and some of the pictures.
Sam and I both survived the end of school and can't believe that it has started again. This semester Sam is taking a lighter load and investigating the business world by taking Fundamentals of Business, which he is surprisingly interested in already. (he's already going to the library to do the readings, on the first week of school!). I am taking multiple ESS classes, one of which I get to practice my group fitness leadership skills and have to teach a fitness class. Hopefully I have a little bit of my mom in me, and will be able to shake it as good as she did back in the day.
This year we were a little concerned that Santa Claus wouldn't visit us. We had a couple things working against us. Neither one of us have changed our addresses on our drivers licenses, how would Santa find us?. Also our landlords have bricked our fireplace off, how would Santa get in? So we were pleasantly surprised to wake up and find that Santa did remember us and found us. We were also pleasantly surprised that Sam survived all of the Christmas season without throwing up!.
We enjoyed spending the Christmas time at many family parties. We are also very excited for Anna, Sam's sister who got engaged to Dave Peterson (not my dad, but I am very jealous that she gets to take on Peterson for her last name) on Christmas day, what a great present!
The day after New Years Eve we flew out to N'Orleans with most of my family for the SUGAR BOWL. Boy does Sugar taste sweet. Of course our favorite memory from the trip will be the sweet show put on my our Utes, but there were a few other highlights.
For those of you who haven't had the opportunity of attending a Utah sporting event with my mom you are missing out! I was sitting behind her and tried to capture her enthusiasm.
We also enjoyed the weather in the 70's walking around the French Quarters.
We had a very fun and busy Christmas break, we topped it off by both getting sick for the last week and stayed home from work in bed!. Now we are feeling better and excited for the upcoming semester, birthdays, and winter activities.

hey there blogger! glad to see you around again. I'm sad to see that you didn't get a good picture of me during the game too. see you next year, ms. blogger.
Don't say that, Amanda! You just have to get into the blogging mode!
Erik and I have let the frequency of our posts die down considerably, but I have hope that we'll pick it back up one day soon.
Keep up the good work!
We loved spending the holidays with you. Your Christmas tree and decorations were so beautiful.
Love you,
Mom R.
So I don't know why I forgot that you had a blog...I'd use my kids as an excuse but that just doesn't sound good enough. Anyway, it was fun to read and look at the pics. You two are some of my favorite people and now I can spy on you. I seriously can't wait for you to be my cycling/yoga/cardio pump instructor.
Love you, Amy
P.S. I don't know why mom is posting comments under my name but I do love you.
