I am not a fan of packing right now.

I have ONLY 4 nights left to get our life into boxes.

We leave for Houston on Friday and come back Monday.

We move on Wednesday and Thursday.

We leave for Singapore on Saturday...gone for a week or so.

Probably won't hear from us for a couple weeks.

Goodbye LA.

Tree Burning

Our first annual Christmas tree burning.

Tom (mom's boyfriend) collects Christmas trees after Christmas time. 

He collects them from family, friends and curbs.

This year he collected over 60 and stored them in his backyard.

We all met at Dockweiler Beach and the burning began...

Getting too close to the fire can be very dangerous...Maren and Trisha put it to the test.

Sister and Brother in-law.

The Clips

The Kennedys, The Thrapps & The Browns

This past weekend The Brown's invited us to join them at a Clipper game. Jared and I are always up for attending sporting events, especially when we get to sit VIP - thanks Clint and Paige :) We had a blast. It's always good times hanging with our friends. Thanks to The Thrapps for picking us up, even though we made you come out of your way.

Our soon to be neighbors in the valley of joy.

The Browns - minus 2 of their children

Old Traditions, New Opportunities

...is the motto of our soon to be place of residence...that's right, WE'RE MOVING!!!

Jared and I will be moving to Temecula at the end of April.

We are headed back to my home town and looking forward to being closer to some of our best friends and family. However, we are sad to be leaving our family, friends and ward here in Los Angeles.

We will keep you posted. Onto the packing.....
