My New Favorite Song!

I just have to mention that I have a new favorite song. Its on my playlist. Its called Gotta Be Somebody by Nickleback. It is awesome! Enjoy!

We're Boring!

So I haven't blogged regularly because there really isn't much going on with us. But here's an update anyway. Trav is going to school, only two classes, and working at the tool store and I am working only two hours a day at the cleaners until I can find a more permanent full time job.

Our life is pretty routine lately. I'm slowly adjusting to being the second counselor in the YW. Its fun but weird because I'm younger than everyone by about 5 to ten years and I am the only one without kids. Trav still teaches primary, the CTR 5 class, he has a new teaching companion since I can't be with him anymore.

We're still slowly getting our house in order. I'm trying to organize all of our stuff, we have a lot. I love doing craft projects and our bedroom and office don't have pictures in them so I'm trying to come up with fun things to hang on the walls. Travis has fun keeping up with my projects. He is currently making a full length mirror for us (or someone else depending on the color is turns out to be) with his friend Courtney. He is such a talented woodworker.

That is pretty much all that is going on with us at this point. The pictures are mostly from our trip to Argentina. Love ya'll.

Bariloche Companario

We spent about 5 days in Bariloche. I love it there. It is absolutely gorgeous. In this picture we are on the chair lift goin up to the top of a small mountain where you can see everything around you. My parents are on the seat below ours. You can just make them out. Here we are at the top. As you can tell the wind was super strong. Sorry about the picture mom, it was the best one we had of all of us.

For lunch one day we went to the Swiss colony. It is really just a tourist spot that used to be where the Swiss imigrants settled but now it just has a very small little fair and a few nice shops. They have a wooden play area with a wood slide. When my sisters came to Argentina their little ones went down the slide along with my sisters. Therefore, my parents made me go down. I was so afraid of getting splinters in my bottom. Actually, I got going pretty fast and it was fairly slick so no splinters.

This picture is in the center of Bariloche. They have a nice plaza right next to the city center and shops. Aren't my parents just cute!

Shopping in El Centro (downtown) was so much fun. We did A LOT of shopping. There were so many things that I wish I had bought when I lived there so Travis made sure we had no regrets this time. This was a cute man who ran a glass figurine and porceline shop. We got a few cheap small statues from him. Then my mom asked him to pretend to make something for a picture, but instead he really started making something. He made and gave us a beautiful little glass rose.

El Chocon! The Dinosaur...

The day after Christmas we dove to Bariloche in the Mountains. On the way I wanted to stop at the dinosaur museum in El Chocon. Its kind of in the middle of no where. Anyway, they have the world largest carnivorous dinousaur there. I can't rememeber what its called but here it is.

Outside of the museum they have these petrified tree stumps. This picture is for Travis' dad who apparently loves petrified wood.


In the museum they had some artifacts from the ancient people who used to live here. We think these are boleadores. The gauchos used them for "lassoing" cattle (they had rope tied to them). I think it would hurt pretty bad to get hit by one of these.

Christmas!

Its been a while again but here are a few pictures from Christmas Day!

I think dad looks angry because I took a rare picture in his PJs. I hope no missionaries check the blog.

We had fun doing puzzles almost all day. It was awesome. I think we did like five puzzles just on Christmas.

Even though Travis says he isn't very good at puzzles we all know the truth. He was awesome. He fits right in to my family and was able to find the pieces no one else could.
