Well Christmas is almost here, and we've been super busy! Mike finished up finals this week. (Hallelujah!) 18 credits in one semester, let alone, 9 chemistry, 6 biology and 2 math credits are something that even prisoners shouldn't have to endure. Now it's 3 weeks of "recovery" and then back at it again.
JaNae has kept busy with projects and Christmas stuff. She pretty much coordinated the ward Christmas breakfast when Jeff and Catherine were out of town; you wouldn't imagine all of the little details-sheesh! She went to Melissa's recital, the Relief Society's dinner, as well as Mindy's ornament party. She's been a busy bee to say the least!
We did manage to get out on a date last week though. We saw the new 007 with Jeff and Catherine. We had to fight bad snow and Jazz game traffic, but it was fun. We actually sat in the parking garage for 45 minutes because of all the jazz people trying to leave too!

Our view from the Conference Center

Another view of the Lights of Temple Square
We went to Temple square on Wednesday to see the lights. It was wonderful! Afterward, we thought that we might be able to see the lights better from the Conference Center-so one of the guides (who's serving a 3-year mission there) took us up to the Hall of the Prophets. They let us outside and we got to see pretty much all of temple square. It was so neat! Then, as he was taking us down, he showed us his favorite thing in the Conference Center. It was the Bronze statue of the First Vision. He showed us different symbolism in the statue-symbolism you might never pick up on.... Then to end it, he took us to the paintings of the First Presidency-which were newly painted and just hung up a few days ago.


Let us remember the True Meaning of Christmas this Holiday season!
