Another month flies by...

So, it has been forever since I've updated the blog...I realize this, and I apologize. Since I last updated, Christmas and New Years joined us, I began another semester and Owen started back to full-time work. Owen is working for Ideacom ECSI (my Dad's company) and possibly looking to get another job also. I am taking 17 credits, so feel free to ask if I'm sane in when April rolls around. Luckily the classes are all pretty interesting to me, so I'm hanging in there. It sure it a lot of work though. My 2 favorite classes are art curriculum & methods and children's literature. 2007 has been a great year so far. We've gotten lots of snow here in Rexburg, and even more cold temperatures. We got down to 30 below for a day or so, miserable. We'd gladly take those 70 degree NC winter days they've been having. But I guess they did get some snow and an ice storm or two, so it's probably not much better there anyway. In other news our bishopric got switched around, and we both got released from nursury. Owen is now the 2nd Sunday Priesthood teacher, and I am just enjoying the short time I have until some new calling creeps up on me. Anyway, I think that's the update for now.

Finally Updating!

Alright, so I know I haven't really updated in over a month. But, we really have been quite busy.

So, back to November...we spent Thanksgiving at the Krupp Ranch, and it was very fun. We got to spend time with family, and relax a little too. We also met Craig's main squeeze, Heidi. She's very cute. On the down side of Thanksgiving Break, Owen got strep throat...total bummer. He was sick for almost the whole 5 day break.

The Wednesday following Thanksgiving, Owen's parents and Nanny flew in from North Carolina to celebrate Owen's birthday. That night we went to dinner with his family and my parents also. Then we took Mother, Daddy and Nanny to the Bar J Wranglers concert on campus. The Bar J Wranglers are a group of ranchers who also run a dinner/show thing during the summer in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, then they tour during the winter. The concert was a blast, they are sooo funny and talented. They have a nationally acclaimed fiddler and an awesome yodeler. Thursday was Owen's (and Craig's) birthday! This is when he got his pretty new suit. Doesn't he look great in it?! He's lost 30 pounds, and is still going! :) Mother made Owen's favorite dinner (cube steak) and we had cake and then had to say goodbye. :( They left Rexburg Friday morning to go celebrate with Craig.

Ever since they came Owen and I have been consumed with school. Last week was my worst and most stressful, I'm glad that's over. I've had many big projects and presentations and Owen has had many tests. Tomorrow is our last day of class for this semester. Then our finals are Monday-Wednesday. I get a nice big 2 week break before I start back up January 4 and Owen has the Winter Semester off.

In other fun news, last Saturday we went to Idaho Falls to the Jeremy Krupp Family Annual Chocolate Dipping Fest (I just made up that really long title, but that's technically what it is) :)
We dipped lots of caramel, raisins, peanuts, marshmallows, pretzels, and fondants. It was fun and a very good sugar rush!! After that we went up to my parents to help with the Annual Grandkid Christmas Party. That added to our sugar rush! The kids made graham cracker gingerbread houses and played Christmas games with Grandma and Buttercup (Brother Krupp without the 'R's). I planned on taking pictures of this fun day, but I'm always so interested in what is going on that I forget. I'll try to do better at Christmas

Hey guys this is a look at Owen's new suit that he got for his Birthday. And a look at how skinny he has gotten!!!!

Our Lovely Christmas Tree

 

Hello!

Owen has picked up a new joy in life...reading! He has started reading Harry Potter and loves it, and I love that he loves to read. He is about a chapter away from finishing book one, and then he'll move on to book two. We're both doing well in school still. Midterm grades were posted last week and we both have all A's and B's, so that's great! Other than that, we're just enjoying the cold, and lately very windy, weather of Rexburg and loving the married life. We're still in nursery and loving every minute of it. It is really fun, especially once you can figure out certain children's personalities. They are all so different and wonderful. Funny story from Sunday...I got corrected by a 20 month old. Lately he has started talking more and more and Sunday he wanted me to wear my shoes (since I don't ever wear them in nursery). So he brought them over to me and said, "Shoes." I agreed, and replied that those were my shoes, and that he had shoes also. He then looked at his feet and responded, "Boots," he pointed at my shoes and said again, "shoes." So apparently, he knows the difference between shoes and boots, and I am a doofus...just joking. Anyway, that's the update. I hope everyone else out there (friends and family) are doing well.

I Forgot!!

I forgot one teeny tiny HUMONGOUS detail... My sister, Alicia, had her baby!! Emmett Joshua Wood was born October 10, 2006 and is adorable. I don't have pictures right now, but I'll try to remember to put some up when I get them.
