Visitors and other news

Happy Day! We welcomed our first post-basement-project-completion visitors this weekend. Cori's sister Brittany and her family came to stay with us for a few days while her husband, also named Cory, interviews for a job up here. We are so excited at the prospect of them moving up here, though there are around 30 people in UT who are not very happy about the idea. And rightly so, Michigan is a long way to go. Brit and Cory have an adorable little boy, Ashton who has become quite the fun little playmate for Grace and Grant.

We've made the most of our time together driving around looking at houses and neighborhoods, going out to dinner, taking in some local winter events (post to follow), and waiting out the weather. Church was cancelled for the second week in a row yesterday due to a freezing rain that left a 1/4 layer of ice on everything. It turned the snowy feild behind our house into an ice rink. Very cool. We had a little sacrament meeting here at home. (Gracie was the youth speaker. So cute.) We then passed the rest of the afternoon staying cozy by the fire in the basement, playing a rousing game of Settlers, eating yummy beef stew out of the crock pot, and visiting.











We still have them with us for one more day. It sure has been fun.

Looks like your new camera is lots of fun! Those pics of the ice/snow are amazing - beautiful and scary too. I don't envy where you live, I don't think I could handle the Michigan weather!

Cool pics. Sounds like you guys had a cool sunday. That's fun that Cory and Brittney may be moving out near you. Perhaps if I don't get into PSU you can search for a job for me out there.

Well I am so glad you have spread the family news around. We had no idea that Britt and Cory were coming to see you guys let alone that he is interviewing for a new job. Thanks for the info. Looks like you guys have had a great time!
