February

During the month of February we found ourselves working a lot, exploring more of Ogden, and going on some fun spontaneous adventures. 

We were bored one night and headed out to the Ogden City Fairgrounds. A team roping competition was going on and Taylor got his country on. I almost convinced him that we need to have a few horses in the future! 

Valentine's Day was spent in Salt Lake with Anne. We went to a small Italian restaurant in down town Salt Lake. This was actually the place where we had our first meal as a married couple on our honeymoon - so kind of perfect for a Valentine's celebration.  

Taylor and I were called to serve in the Primary. We made sugar cookies in order to take around to the kids in our class. Normally I am not tempted by sugar cookies at all but for whatever reason, these were so good! 

It was long past due for a roommate reunion so in honor of Keri's birthday, we all got together at Abby's for a potluck dinner. Every time I get together with these incredible people, I am reminded of how truly lucky I am to have such great friends. They are constantly trying inspiring me to improve and better myself. Such great people!

The BEST part of this month was that Hannah came home from her mission!!! All of the siblings surprised her by flying to Denver and being there when she got off the plane. How fun is that?! Carter was actually in Salt Lake for a dental conference so he flew with Taylor and I into Denver late Friday night. Saturday morning we all welcomed Hannah back. Denver got hit by a huge snowstorm so it was a good thing that we really wanted to spend time together as we were stuck in the apartment most of the weekend. Church was actually cancelled due to the snow so we held a private sacrament meeting and had Hannah give her talk. She was an incredible missionary and has learned so much.  

All of the original five Christensen's back together for the first time in years. And in her honor we all did the Hannah face! 

To finish off the month, we went up to Logan with Grandpa Boyd to attend the Utah State Distinguished Alumni Awards Ceremony. Grandpa was in his element and introduced us to so many people including the president of the university. We sat at the same table that currently holds the position that Grandpa had while he was at the university, so that was really fun for them to talk. I was astounded to hear all of the success stories from Utah State. It was one of many moments that I was proud to be an Aggie.
