I will start with Thanksgiving since those are the next pictures after the New Orleans visit. Delinda & I went to Uncle Mark & Aunt Sally's house and got to see their daughter Laura & Jack and cute little Grace. We didn't get to stay for too long- but we had wonderful food, great family time together and wonderful weather. We love going to their house because it's the closest we have to home!
Delinda and I arrived in Utah on Christmas Eve around the same time- but her luggage got lost. Luckily after working with the airport and going through a huge fiasco, she got it on Christmas Day. We had a good Christmas eve night- mostly relaxing and just being together. Christmas day Greg and Sam and the 3 girls (Alyssa, Brooke & Courtney) came and we opened presents and anticipated the arrival of the rest of the family. And then to make it even BETTER, John & Clau and their 3 kids (J.C., Nick & Missy) and Shauna came! We had the WHOLE family there and it was wonderful! One of the best Christmas's ever in my opinion. We had a nice dinner where we all crammed into mom and dad's bedroom (minus the bed) and ate GOOD food!
After my visit at mom and dad's I got to go to see my friends down in the Utah County area. We got to see the new Joseph movie at Temple Square- it was quite good! It wasn't even that cheesy! My friend Christina's brother Joel plays Parley P. Pratt and so we got to get all excited to see him in it! After that we (Andrea, Travis, Ryan, Kate and Christina) just watched movies and talked, exchanged gifts and enjoyed each other's company at Andrea & Travis's house of fun. 
Then the next day I had to come home to an empty house with out my Delinda.
For New Years I drove to Knoxville, TN to Laura and Jack's house (my cousin) and got to ring in 2006 with them in an enjoyable QUIET evening... just the three of us. We had chips and queso and Fresca and it was just right!
It was quite an eventful three weekends, because for one weekend I was in Utah for Christmas, then Tennessee for New Year's and then the weekend after that I went with my friends Cecilia and Karen to Panama City Beach, Florida for a Young Single Adult conference. It was a ton of fun and we got to meet some really great new friends. It's about a 6 hour drive, and the beaches are very pretty- however the city isn't that pretty, but then again, it was Winter. We had a group of people from Huntsville, AL that took us under their wing and we became friends with them very quickly. They are the ones in the pictures with us.
Since then my social life has gotten remarkably better. I have been making new friends and have been able to do a lot of fun things. I finally got to go camping this weekend at Lookout Mountain with some friends from the singles ward. I have put some pictures from that trip in there too. They are fun people and I'm glad I'm getting to get to know them.
I guess that's it for now. I'll give some more detailed updates when I haven't had only 2 hours asleep and it's 11:40 pm on a Saturday night.
