It is so great to spend time with family and catch up with those we rarely get to see :) We missed the rest of the Jackson clan, but are excited to see them this summer. We are also excited for Anikka and Andrew to get married this thursday!

From the mouths of babes
Now that I work with kids, it seems that at least one thing every day makes me want to die laughing. Today I had one little girl on such a roll that I just HAD to write them down. Just so you get the picture, this girl is 4, with a halo of golden curls, big blue eyes, bright pink coverall snow pants, and about 100 pounds of attitude. When I correctly guessed her name (thanks to the office computer) she stared at me in shock and said “I’ve never even come to here before!” I replied that I was magic. Later on I had to remind her of my magical abilities and she stopped midsentence, her eyes widened with understanding and she replied,
“Oh Ya! You can see me... But Santa can see me more.”
Other quotes from her (that probably only I will find funny) include:
“Once you have the dentist toothpaste you can’t eat for like a zillion minutes. Like 5!”
“My brother is 11. And he could kill somebody”
“I have an anchor in my mouth!” (said with her tongue pushing against her front lower lip … she meant she had a canker)
Me after a comment about how her alligator toothbrush smelled like grapes: “Do you think all alligators smell like grapes?” Her: “No. They smell like poop.”
“I’m going to bite your butt!!!” (luckily she did not succeed;)
Anyway I hope some of those made you laugh, because for the full 2 hours she was in the office, she had me in stitches.

Living the High Life
Colby:
"I could make Sports Center if I went and tackled a player right now"
Me:
"Which one would you pick?"
Colby:
" Well ... I might as well go for Kobe"
Me:
"Ya ... I'd love to see you try to tackle Odem"
These men are huge! I gained a whole new respect for how large they are. What amazing athletes!
We were so close to Deron, Boozer, and Kobe! I LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!

I heart shopping
I am also super stoked for the Timpview alumni game this friday. I am way out of shape, but I just love playing with my old team. State Champs 2007 what what! I'm also excited to wear my old jersey, nothing like that good old #15 :)

An update
These past couple weeks have been pretty crazy, but great. Here is an update on our lives:
Jane Anne:
I just started my new job at Small Smiles this week. I basically make crafts, color, and play chase with kids. It is surprisingly tiring, but I LOVE the people I work with. We went to a company Christmas dinner last night and had such a blast. I was told a few hours beforehand that I had to bring a homemade gift so I scurried around Michaels Craft store right after work, getting some things to make some "JOY" blocks with. I had to cut the letters myself, but it turned out great. In all honesty I wanted to keep it, but I ended up getting an adorable necklace and earrings, so I guess it was a good trade! I am NOT going to school this next semester, my job doesn't allow me to, but I will hopefully start and finish my independent study, now that my time is a bit more structured.
I have lost my keys. If you see them, please let me know because I'm STILL stressing about it haha. I also have a shorter Christmas break now with my job, which is kind of sad, but I guess it will give Colby and I some fun bonding time :)
Colby:
Colby is prepping for finals! Poor boy. Pretty soon though, he will be done and will have a good amount of free time in which he can play with me!We are both excited! Next semester, he will only have 3 classes (although 2 are killers, from the sound of it).
His big news as of late is that he has 2 med school interviews, from our top two schools! USSHUS? (the military one in DC) and Utah. We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of more interview offers.
He is also busy being an amazing husband, and making sure I am always taken care of. We love to watch early seasons of Home Improvement and play Rumi Cube.
We both CAN'T WAIT FOR CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Conquerers
We also conquered the dance floor, and by we, I mean Colby. I just tried (sometimes successfully) to keep up with him. It was our second military ball together, but this time he didn't have to drop me off at a motel after the dance! We had fun at Olive garden with some other cadets and then dancing to the big military band. It really was a blast. We missed a bit of the unpredictability of dating, but loved the fact we got to go home together and that we were able to really be our goofy selves on the dance floor. We also had fun laughing at the awkward Freshmen (if you think normal freshmen are awkward, you should see ROTC freshmen! Hilarious! Especially because they are so afraid of Colby). It was a great weekend.
