Jake and I both got the whole week off for Thanksgiving so we thought it would be fun to go to Kirtland for a couple of days. We did a lot of church history tours and I could not believe how strong the spirit was there. I loved hearing all of the stories about the amazing pioneers and all that they went through. The Church of Christ was having a service the night we were there in the Kirtland Temple and somehow we were in the right place at the right time and scored an invite. It was amazing to attend a service in the first temple of the church. The sister missionaries sang and they were seated in every corner so it seriously was surround sound... it sounded amazing! They had a bunch of different religious leaders sing or speak and over all it was a very nice service. We definitely enjoyed it! Luckily the last day Jake let me find the closest mall and we spent the afternoon shopping at my favorite stores so that was a score too since Morgantown does not have good shopping!
We had a really yummy Thanksgiving dinner with a bunch of friends from our ward. The food was AMAZING! It was a very relaxful and fun day and we are so grateful we could spend the day with such fun people!
In December we went back to Utah for 2 weeks. We had a great time catching up with friends and family. We were constantly on the go... going to movies, jazz games, skiing, and family events! One of the highlights for me was when my parents took all of us to the Marriott downtown for the night. It was so fun to be all together for 2 whole days and not have any distractions. We stayed busy going to movies, seeing Temple Square, swimming, working out, and of course shopping!! It was a blast!! 
Our camera was dead when we went skiing but I made Jake put his one piece back on for a picture cuz it was too funny not to remember Jake flying down the slopes in his tight one piece!!
