We had a really fun time and did a lot of cool things! Thanks mom & dad! We love you!

OK so its been awhile...

Things, as usual, have been CRAZY for Josh and I! Josh is coming up quickly on his BIG step 1 of the boards. As you can imagine he has been a studying fool. I am currently living with my in-laws, Tom and Shirley, all week and then driving down to Tucson to hang with the hubby. I was offered a job up there by a couple from the ward I grew up in, as since Josh is doing rotations for his 3 & 4 year. I decided to move up earlier. But I figured, while Josh is sleeping in this morning I would post a few things since I am way behind.

During Thanksgiving weekend, Josh went up elk hunting with his dad and their friend Phil. They had a lot of fun...

It snowed while they were up there.

Tom shot his elk the 1st or 2nd day.

Getting Ready for Christmas!

This is the first real Christmas tree we have had since being married! Tom got it for us while they were up Elk hunting!

Getting ready for Christmas has worn a lot of people out in the Tieman house! Sweet little Max and Josh crashed out in the living room!

Josh has been doing A LOT of this!!! That is up until last Friday afternoon!

And I've been doing A LOT of this!! Taking on too many projects of course, but still having fun!
Now that Josh is done with finals which we just found out he got a good score on, and I am almost done with my projects... We are ALMOST ready for Christmas!

Fall Break Tucson Adventure!

As promised here is a little more fun post! The medical school accidentally scheduled a fall break for its students and Josh and I decided to make the most of it... We talked about doing a cruise or something, but I had trouble getting time off from work so we decided to do stuff here in Tucson! We had activities planned everyday and had a blast! Tom and Shirley (my in-laws) came down for a couple of days and we got to do a few fun things with them!
