My WONDERFUL Husband!

I just feel like I need to say that I LOVE my husband!!! On our second day in New York last week we got some bad news. Worldmark by Wyndham is closing their marketing department. You might be asking, I thought Bryce worked for himself? Well he does, but Wyndham was his biggest client! That was our bread and butter! So, I've been freaking out wondering how we're going to make it. We have some savings, but not alot. But, I have the most wonderful husband ever!!! He got on the phone while we were in New York and set up appointments to talk to a couple different companies. He cut his hair the day we got back, because he said he couldn't afford to not look professional. And He has been working on several different deals non-stop since we've been home. I just love Bryce! I'm so grateful that he is such a hard worker. That he holds and honors his priesthood. I'm also very grateful for our marriage in the temple and I'm so excited to spend eternity with him!!! Thank you Bryce for all of your hard work, I'm so proud of you and I know you will always provide for our family. I love you!!!

New York

We had a BLAST in New York!!! We really do just love it there! We flew out on Sunday the 7th @ midnight and we arrived @ 5:30 am. It was SOOOO COLD!!!! Anyway, we took a death ride in a taxi (I literally was holding on for dear life) to our hotel. We weren't supposed to check in until 3, but this nice man found us a room. We were so grateful, we were so tired that we took a 4 hour nap. When we woke up and walked outside we realized that our hotel was a block away from Time Square!! Since this was Bryce's 4th time and my 2nd time, we didn't do all of the tourist stuff. On Monday we went to Bryce's uncle Glen's house and he helped us plan a couple of things to do. We also went and saw Rockefeller Center and 5th Ave. We didn't do much that night since we were still way tired. On Tuesday we took the subway down to Chinatown. Which for those who know me, know that I'm a GERM FREAK and the subway was so NASTY!!!! While we were in Chinatown we thought that we would try to get me a Prada purse and Bryce a Rolex watch. We found the people who were selling the purses and I told them I wanted one so they said follow me. We walked 6 blocks and they led us down some dark allyway and they wanted us to go upstairs. Bryce and I didn't want to go up but this lady came behind me and started pushing me up the stairs, we finally just walked away. We did go back on Thursday and bought me a purse from someone else. And it wasn't nearly as scary. :) And we also got Bryce a Rolex in an ally with about 4 HUGE guys in the distance watching us to make sure we didn't run away with the watches. On Wednesday we were also able to go to the Late Show with David Letterman, which was really fun!! And Thursday we went and saw the taping for the Today Show. And since we flew home on Thursday night we didn't have much to do so we walked from Chinatown back to Time Square which was 60 blocks!! We had so much fun walking, we weren't in the touristy part and saw how normal life would be there. We would actually save about $1000 a month if we moved there. Rent is cheaper than our mortgage, no car payment, no car or home owners insurance and no gas! We talk about moving there for about 2 years all the time, but I don't think it would really happen, but who knows. Sorry about the novel, there was just so much to tell!!!
There was a little ice skating rink in the middle of the city

Right before the Late Show
Just for Fun!

What we've been up to

I feel like this past week has gone by so fast! We went down to Cedar City for Thanksgiving to spend time with Bryce's family. We ate really good food, then we played games and laughed a lot! We had a really good time!! It was also really good to see Grandpa Burr and Grandma Nelson.

We got our Christmas tree this week and as tradition, one of my best friends, Aubree came over to help us decorate. She came over the first year we had a tree and we wanted her to come over again. We just love her!! Thanks Aubs for your help!  
This is a snowflake that my Grandma Murdock made and she gives them to her grandkids as wedding presents. I have about 15 of them and they are by far my FAVORITE thing on my tree!!! 




Fuzz got a hair cut last week. He looks so much better!!


Bryce had me straighten his hair this week. It didn't look very good. I'm now starting to count down the days until he cuts his hair. 26 more days!!



Our vacuum went out this week, so I got an early Christmas present! A dyson!!! I love it!!! I had already vacuumed our upstairs before I vacuumed with the dyson and this is what it still picked up.
SICK!!!! I was amazed that there is that much dirt and hair the my old vacuum didn't pick up!! 
It's a dyson animal from Costco. I was surprised that it isn't very heavy and it quite! Well more so than my old one. :)
