This year for office gifts, I stole an idea from my friend Emilee (however, her stuff is always much cuter than what I attempt to make).

Anyway, I made TimTam-Slam kits for my team at my school. I packed in the essentials and wrote a cute little poem that had the directions for making a TimTam Slam!\

Also, here is a recent picture of Cha-Chi. I know how EVERYONE has been thinking about him. Look how cute he is! He's getting fat and old but he's ADORABLE!

Because I am finally posting! (Actually, there are probably like 3 people who maybe check this blog every once and a while, so this goes out to you.)

The past month has been crazy. We are SO ready for Christmas break.

Here are some pictures of what we have been up to the past month or so....

*On a side note, I went up to see my friend Abby and her hot awesome new baby, Riggs, however, I was dumb enough not to get any pictures. Figures.*

Karen, Emilee, Laurel, Carol, and myself went up to Salt Lake to see Rob (my previous boss) and his family in "The Savior of the World".

For Halloween this year, John and I didn't really do anything outstanding. On Friday, I had my school partay/parade, which was INSANE. I let my kids decide what I was going to be for Halloween. They decided on a cavewoman....a cavewoman?!
Mikelle, luckily, is amazing and helped me pull together a last minute cavewoman costume that turned out pretty cute.


On Saturday, we slept in, hung out, went around to see the neices and nephews costumes and then went to see "Where the Wild Things Are", which by the way is a good but trippy movie.

Hope everyone's Halloween was as good for them as it was for us!

It has been so loooooooooooooooong since we posted. Really, we are far too busy to keep updating you on our ever exciting lives.
Actually, we are just super boring and have nothing to post about.
Yesterday was the BYU v. TCU game. We had a suhweet tailgate party before the game....until it started raining and we got soaked. To keep as dry as we could, we piled into the parentals car and basked in the sweet stuffiness from all the Fosters breathing so hard.
Anyway, here are the pics.


You can't tell from this picture, but there are two more people in the back of the car. Awesome.

This post is WAY late. My best friend, Cassidy, got home from her mission and we went to her homecoming! It was so fun to hang out with Erica and Cassidy!

Life at the Williams has been really, really ridiculously BUSY. I started teaching last Wednesday! It has been so fun, stressful, exciting, and throw upish all at the same time. John is also getting ready to start school at UVU tomorrow.

Over the 24th, we had the Christensen family reunion in Moab. It was crazy fun. We went hiking, biking, river rafting, and so much more! We also went on a hummer ride at Hell's (naughty) revenge which was scary awesome.
Moab=Rockin fun

Here's a side note....We went to Wendy's the other day and Wendy was there! Love ensued....

It was awesome!!!! Pictures to come!!!!

On the 30th it was my birthday! The big 22! After I had my mid-life crisis, we had tons of fun.

This is just a quick update post because I haven't posted in a while. I'm still in school (which sucks hard). It's really busy, stressful, frustrating, etc..... But it's all good, I only have until July 23 and then I am done with school for the rest of my life! (Even though they won't let me graduate until next April). John is done at BYU and moving on to UVU which he is super excited about (he hates BYU). It's a little stressful to start all over and have to wait a few more years to get on with our lives but it's all good. Because he's not a BYU student anymore, they won't let him work at BYU, so he is job hunting for a summer job....It's great that neither of us work now.
We're super excited for our families to move out here from back east. My sister Mikelle and her family are moving out from Alabama and John's sister Michelle and her family are coming out from Florida. We're excited to be able to see them more and spend more time with them.
We're also excited to go to DisneyLand in a month! Even though it's only for 2 days, we're excited to take a break from all the craziness.

Life has been freaking insane the past couple of weeks. As I look back at it....I throw up a little in my mouth. School is officially over! Huzzah! However, I start school and my second cohort (student teaching) again on Monday. It's just going to be super awesome to not get a break. :) John is done with classes for the Spring and Summer. Right now he's looking for a full-time job until school starts again in the fall. He's applied at some construction places and will find out hopefully the beginning of next week. We need some moo-lah so hopefully it will work out.
I am quitting my job probably within the next week. It's crazy. I've worked every summer since I graduated from High School and now I am just going to school....I don't know what I'm going to do with myself. I've worked at this same BYU job for 2 years-ish!
I am also officially done with school for the rest of my life July 23!!!!!! I am so excited. But they won't let me graduate until next April, which sucks hard.
Cha-Chi is awesome. I think he's has paranoia though. He's really twitchy. But he's hilarious as well. John made him this maze and he freaks out whenever he gets in it. We attached it to his house and he moved all of the contents from his house into the maze.
Also, we might be going on a trip to Europe next year with our friends! Hooray! It would be a month-long backpacking trip so we have to start saving up now. Hopefully it will work out so we can go.

We are done with finals!!!!!!!

Well, John and I have also decided it's time to expand our family. That's right! Meet the newest member of the Williams family....
Cha-Chi the Gerbil!
He's so cute! Just a minute ago, he was running on his wheel! Ah-ha! I love him! Thanks John for my early Birthday present!

At my office, my friend Emilee and I are basically the key target for pranks. We scare easy and we usually give loud reactions. HOWEVER! This April Fool's we decided to get our boss back for all the mean tricks he has played on us. John, Emilee, Laurel, and I snuck into the office the night before and did this little wonder. (FYI - There are approximately 400 balloons in his office...was it worth it.....oh yes.)

I got the internship! I am going to be teaching next year at Westridge Elementary in 2nd grade. It will be so nice to get a salary, benefits, and have my own classroom! Thanks everyone for helping me and keeping me in your prayers!
