Update #2
How do I go from blogging a few times a month to having to do 2 "update" blogs? Ugh! Oh well, here it goes for our February Update, I should really call it February and March update, since it will soon be over.
~Anywho~
How about I start updating, eh?
Well, in my previous post I talked about my friend Mandy who is pregnant. Things are going GREAT with her. They are busy planning, discussing, and arranging their new lives as parents-to-be! They have started to organize thier house and make room for a nursery, we are beginning to plan her baby shower and I am busy making her invitations! We are all so excited!!!
Also, in my previous post I talked about the strong little guy, Owen, who was recently diagnosed with diabetes. This is also going GREAT! Great for Owen, Mommy, Daddy, and siblings! We have all gotten down how to test him, give him shots, count carbs, measure food, and the list goes on and on. But overall we have realized this is definitely something we can handle!!! I am actually really excited for this weekend! My sister and Brother-in-law will be going on a cruise and leaving the children in the hands of me and Christian for half the week, and my mom and dad for the other half! I super excited! I get to see what being a stay at home mom really is! And they get to have a much needed vacation!
Let's see, what else has happened?
Well, I have another great friend who is also pregnant! We had a shower for her a few weekends ago and it was great! All the girls there were from High School so we were all able to catch up! It was so fun seeing everybody! It is so crazy how time flies! Every one of us is married, and everybody but myself and one other friend have a baby or are pregnant! So fun! It was a really fun time and Pattyanne got some really cool gifts!
I was also able to attend a concert downtown. It was the Up and Coming Tour at "In the Venue" My brother's band was actually playing in it. I headed there with a friend and met up with my mom and dad. They did AWESOME! Seriously! You know what you think of when you hear High School band, but it was great! They are all naturals! My brother is the lead singer, but he also wrote some of thier songs, and plays guitar on some songs. Pretty cool, hopefully they will be able to play at the Warped Tour! Check them out on Facebook

I think the last update would be the update most of you already know, but for those of you that don't, here ya go.... At the end of February, I lost my job. Not such a great update, but an update non the less. I worked for Sportsman's Warehouse for almost 6 years. It was pretty crazy to lose it, but in all honesty it was such a relief! For about 3 months I had been nothing, but miserable! Unfortunately new management came in and it was pretty clear after a few months that I would no longer have my position. Shortly after that I was let go. However, I am truly excited for my next adventure! I am not sure what is next for me, but I do know that I am happy at the moment and I can't wait to have a position where I don't live at work, stress constantly about work, and get paid the amount I deserve to do work! And I am soooo excited to never work a Sunday again! To answer your question, yes, Christian does still work there. For now, he is still currently enjoying his position, and since he does not work directly with the new management like I did, he has not had any problems, and he definitely has not been miserable. So, at this time we are very grateful for Christian having his position! We are sure that something will come up soon for me. And yes, when it does you can expect another update! (Until then, if you know of anything, please let me know.) Thanks!
So, that is our update. Hope things are well with all of my readers. (the 3 of you) Hopefully, with all of my free time now I can update my blog more often! Guess we will see!

Christmas!!!!
Christmas this year was super fun! Boulter Christmas party, with yummy food, the white elephant pass around, the nativity, and lots of crazy kids! I'm so glad we continue this tradition with my mom's side of the family! It is so great to see everyone, and I know my grandpa loves it!
Christmas with Christian's family was also a great time! We had it at his parent's house where we ha an excellent ham dinner with funeral potatoes, mmmm..... We watched a very cool "testimonies of the Prophets" dvd, and exchanged gifts. This year we decided to put together a little photo book for his parents and they loved it! It showed pictures of them when they were little and pictures of their wedding and it had family pictures of each kid. It was really fun putting together and I'm really glad they liked it. It was another great Thorpe Christmas!
On Christmas Eve we went to my mom's for dinner. After dinner we made and decorated gingerbread houses. The kids loved it! After that I handed out a new ornament for each person to write their name on it and hang it on Nana's tree. Nana gave each grandkid a present to open and they were new jammies! The kids put them on and then Nana read them a new Christmas story. This is a new tradition my mom started and after she reads them the story she gives them the book. It is so cute! the last thing we did was watch the claymation The Santa Claus. We got back to Jamie's house where we were sleeping and set out cookies for santa and went to bed.
Christmas morning we went downstairs and Santa had come!!! The kids opened their Santa gifts and we all opened the gifts in our stockings. Christian and I both got a Vikings shirt from Santa! After that we all exchanged gifts, ate a super yummy breakfast, and then the kids played with their toys and we took a nap.
Christmas night we went to Robyn's house for the Smith family party. We all mingled for a bit, took some pictures, and then had a great dinner. After dinner we played the white elephant game and there were some very hilarious gifts. We got the lamp from a Christmas Story!
So, Our Christmas was Excellent! And with Christmas gone it means we don't have to work as much which is always a plus! Now it is on to festivities for New Year's and my birthday!!! Hope you all had a great Christmas!!!
