Brielle's Mission Call...

Brielle got her mission call.  I predicted that she was going to go somewhere really boring and to my surprise, she is going nowhere even close to boring.  She is going to Cancun, Mexico.  We are so excited for her and can't wait for when we can go visit someday.  Laura and Chad were on their way to Rexburg to be with Hanna when she has her knee surgery.

 

New Rings & January Pictures of Wade

I finally got myself a mother's ring.  I got a stack of rings, actually.  One has Wade's name engraved on it.  One is a row of tiny diamonds, and the third one has Brandon's, Kacie's, Brady's & Cole's birthstones on it.  I love it!  Below is all the adorable pictures of Wade for the month.

They finally got a gate put up.  I love this picture...Wade looks so devastated, like he was locked in prison.

 

Date Night...

I took the day off so Scott and I could have a fun day together.  I made a reservation at Brick 29 at 4:00pm, which was the only time available.  It was so good.  We had spicy garlic calamari for an appetizer.  Scott had a yummy sandwich and tomato soup.  I got a side salad plus the special, which was steelhead on some couscous and fried cheese, and sauce.  It is a horrible picture of me, but a nice look at my meal. haha!  I love the sweater that Scott got me for Christmas.

After our meal, we did a little bit of shopping and got some dessert.  It was a nice day!

 

January Birthdays...

It is always fun celebrating our Talbot birthdays together.  It was nice to see Ryan and Lora.  We gave Tyson a Stephen Curry long-sleeve T-shirt.  We gave Ryan a black long-sleeve Carhartt T-shirt, and we gave Wanda a fleece jacket.

 

Brielle's Temple Endowment...

Brielle was able to get her temple endowments.  We are so happy for her.

 

Week in Rexburg...

Scott and I went to Rexburg after church on December 28th for Kacie's birthday and New Year's.   It was a bummer that Wade was sick.  Kacie and I took him to the doctor on Monday and found out he had a bad ear infection.  For Kacie's birthday, we went to Tandoori Oven, which is an Indian food restaurant.  Scott fell in love with it, so we had to go again later in our trip.  It felt weird not having Brady with us this time, but he wanted to stay for the Double V Reunion.  I loved all the Wade snuggles while he was sick, but I ended up getting sick on New Year's Eve.  It was bound to happen with Wade coughing and sneezing on me. haha!  We were planning on going home on the 2nd, but stayed another day since I didn't feel up to traveling.  I want a redo.  Once Wade started feeling better, I wasn't feeling well, so I missed out on some of the fun eating-out adventures.  It was nice to spend time with their family.  I didn't take many pictures on this trip.

 

Double V Reunion...

Looks like another great Double V Reunion.
