Oh yeah, I have a blog! Haha!
(Note: All my pictures are at the very end, so if that's all you care about, just scroll to the bottom.)
So shortly after my last post was Dancesport. I failed to take a picture of us, which was silly because Chrisser actually had a real Smooth suit instead of just a button up shirt and vest. Oh well. We also didn't make it past the first round and we only did Novice this time, but we still had fun and everyone who knew I was pregnant was really impressed that I was still dancing. And Chrisser did better than he expected in his class events, making it 1 round farther than he expected in his 2 ballroom events and taking 3rd place in his Gold American Waltz. So it was still a fun weekend.
Thanksgiving was Thanksgiving. Nothing super exciting that I recall. Oh, I did finish the coursework for my Medical Transcriptionist/Editor program a couple days before that, and I took the final about a week after. That was a big accomplishment for me, seeing as I had spent a year and a half on it and felt like I would never finish. So yay! Although now I have to look for a job :(.
Christmas break was quite a whirlwind for us. School got out on December 19, but Chrisser was still going to campus all day every day to work on the senior film, which needs to be done in like a week. Then we went to the Christmas Eve party that my family has every year, which was fun. Just your basic dinner, re-enact the nativity, and exchange gifts. Then we stayed the night at my parents' house and did the whole Christmas morning stocking and presents thing with my family. Then, still on Christmas morning, we flew out to Virginia and did some more present opening with Chrisser's family. Then the next day (Friday) we all drove down to Raleigh, NC, for Chrisser's brother's wedding on Saturday. And the reception was an hour and a half away from the temple. And Sunday right after Sacrament Meeting we drove back to Falls Church. Lots and lots of traveling those 4 days.... Then Monday and Tuesday we were put to work making decorations for the Virginia reception (which we didn't even get to go to because we had to get back to Utah, sadly), and Wednesday morning we flew back here. Then Chrisser did actually get 1 day of a break because he had a cold and wanted to just rest, but then he went right back to working on finishing up the senior film, and then classes started back up again yesterday. So he didn't really get a Christmas break, but he said he probably would have ended up in the animation lab the whole break anyway if we had stayed here. So it was probably a good thing that we had that craziness so that at least we could actually be together all day for a week. I was starting to really miss him since he was on campus so much....
And here are some pictures:

| Only 2 layers were actually cake; the rest were styrofoam. |

| The bride is very into fairytales... |

| ...and dragons. |
 |
| I heard she had been collecting dragon things for her wedding since she was 14. |

| Aaannnd this is super blurry, but still cute. Dancing with their grandson :) |
