We finally made it out sledding last week. We went with our friends, the Grays for Family Home Evening. I don't think it was the best night to go out, it had been snowing all day long and the roads were TERRIBLE. We made it to Rock Canyon Park and, after finally making it up the hill, Raul and I had a great time. Rakel...the first time down she started to cry and complain that she was cold and didn't wan to go anymore. We finally got her to go down with Khalillia, but at the end of that run, they both were crying, so we decided maybe that was the end of our fun...And we made it home ok.
In other news, we had a basically un-eventful New Years. New Years Eve we wanted to go to a Colombian Restaurant in West Valley, but by the time we got there, they were closed, so we went to a Chinese Buffet across the street. We went with Sergio and Brenda, Kijung and all their girls. We would have partied some more with them afterwards, but Rakel wasn't feeling good, and Raulito (jr) had been sick also, so we ended up going home. After putting the kids to bed we put on a movie and ended up falling asleep until we heard noise outside and looked at the clock. HAPPY NEW YEAR... Oh, well, next year will be more exciting. Everyone except me (knock on wood) have had whatever bug has been going around, but seem to be feeling much better. Rakel returned to school last week and was so excited to see all of her friends.
I have started working at Golden Corral, mostly Saturday morning/afternoon unless Raul prefers watching the kids and I go to work for him. I like working there and interacting with all kinds of people. Anyone's welcome to come see me there. It's great steak!
Also, we have started going to the Spanish Ward. We have thought about it for a long time, but it has become more convenient because our regular ward's schedule changed to 1pm, and the Spanish ward now meets at 9am. We're sad to leave our other ward because it seems like we were just getting to know people, but I think we will have a good experience in the Spanish Ward, too.
I have also started back at my 6am aerobics classes. I'm the TA for the Monday/Wednesday class. It's been hard to get back in the habit of going to bed a little earlier and getting up and out of my warm bed into the cold car, but I really like the class.
Anyway, we hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Year. This year will bring a lot of changes for our family. Raul will finish school and we will most likely not be in Utah after he graduates. Also, Raul's mother will be coming to live with us sometime in the next few months. We are really excited about that. And who knows what else will happen, but we're ready for new adventures!
Just out for a bike ride in the snow...
