Christmas.

Well we all made it through our 2008 Christmas season all full of food and in hand came away with some great gifts that were well needed and a few that were even great that were not needed. . . Josh got a new cell phone, bright blue, his favorite color and a camera from mom and dad... what a toy, lol.

Angella got some new bindings and a digital picture frame from Josh, (he definitly spoiled me but I guess its in all good carma for him) we had Christmas eve with Josh's family and Christmas morning and night as well with a bit of time with Angella's family Christmas afternoon.

It snowed almost all day and stopped just long enough to dig a path out of the driveway just adding to our already incredible snow blanket.

over all it has been a wonderful Christmas. Happy Holidays!, from Angella and Josh.

Home Sweet Home

Well Tim and I are don with our finals and we are back in Pocatello for the holidays. the snow started to fall the day after we got home and it id amazing. I love snow and I haven't seen it for over 2 years. to watch the snow fall is crazy. to stand in the cold snow is CRAZY! I don't know if I will ever be used to the cold the way I was before the mission.


Tim has nothing to do and so he plays old video games on his PC. He also has been getting the snow machines out ad ready for riding. he has been helping Dad at the shop a bit because Don is in the hospital.






The house is ready for Christmas. The tree is up, decorations are strung, presents under the tree, and snow is on the ground.


And of course mom does all the cooking now.

Cat is out of the Bag.

Well I guess you've all herd by now I got engaged over Thanksgiving break on a nice cold Saturday night. I dont have a picture of the ring but maybe I can get one over the Christmas break. Some of you have met her but here is the Info. Her name is Angella and she is the love of my life. She is cute and has nice long Dark Brown hair. anyway here is a picture just to do her justace...

Oh and did i mention she is a little bit shorter than me?

Transition.

Well i thought I would throw in a few things about how I am dealing with the transition back to everyday Josh life.

As you can see I still wear my white shirt and tie all the time. I also still eat lots of plain white rice mmmmm.... good. well as has benn talked about i refused to hug any girls when i fot home even my mom until i got released. It took a week and two days to get a hug from Angella, she hugged me because she found out i was just playing hard to get. anyway i really am happy being back home, school is great and ive been mountainbiking and doing some crazy stuff like always. my roomates are preaty cool especially Tim. He just playes video games all the time and does like 1 hour of home work a day. Fortunatly Tim is smart and will have all A's this semester. Being home for only 3 days and then starting school is pretty crazy but i wouldnt want to do it any other way. this christmas break will be the longest break i have had so far but it will bw good.

Here is a picture of Tim and Clinton Beating eachother
