Bringing in the New Year

To bring in the New Year, Brian and I (and my parents and two siblings) went down to St. George to spend it with my sister and her husband. We happened to leave on the snowiest day possible, and it took us 6 hours to get there, but it was well worth it. It may have only been 40 degrees outside but we rolled our windows down when we drove the Boulevard because we were so happy it was warm. :) (We quickly rolled them up soon after.)

We got to spend a lot of time with Nat & Adam, and Brian got to go biking so we were all happy. We went to see the movie Avatar on New Year's Eve and got out at 11:55pm. Just in time to race home and watch the fireworks and ring in the New Year.

I really liked the movie though. I thought I wouldn't because it was so futuristic and seemed like a guy movie, but I loved it! It's a long movie but you don't get bored at any point. And the story is really good. Everyone says it's Pocahontas in the future, which is kind of is, but it's at least Pocahontas for adults. :)

On New Year's Day we slept in a little, and then helped Nat & Adam move. They've been living in his mom's house while she was on a mission, but now she's back and they wanted to get their own place. They moved to this really great one-bedroom apartment with a huge kitchen and living room. Well, comparatively speaking. :) But I really liked it and I think they'll like it too.

It was great to just hang out and be with family and relax in "warm" St. George. I was not too excited to come back to the cold. :(
