Blog Entry from March.. update from the first few months of the year:)

Blogging has clearly not been at the front of my mind for quite some time! Not too much has happened though. Since my last post we had a yummy thanksgiving and spent Christmas in Preston/Logan with Colin's mom for Christmas Eve day - Christmas Eve and Christmas Day were spent in Logan at Colin's uncles and Christmas Morning at the house in Preston. It was a really low key Christmas - kind of sucked that I didn't get a week off like I have for the past 6 years;) Darn work. My parents and sister came down for my cousins wedding and we had a good few days with them.

Basically since we realized we were going to get married over 2 years ago, we have had a plan to go back to Germany to visit Colin's mission after he finished Grad School. Well, in January as we were planning the trip with the plan to meet up with my parents and Lex, we decided we might as well go to Denmark for a couple of days, after Germany, on our way up to Sweden! Tickets were cheaper than I had anticipated so that was sure nice and I felt proud that we did such a good job saving up for the trip:) We will be gone from July 17-August 6.. just shy of a 3 week trip:) Definitely wasn't the plan to do 3 weeks, but with all we wanted to do and having the time to do such a trip we just had to make time for all that we wanted to see and do! We are going to see people from Colin's mission and visit family in Sweden. The countdown is ON:) 4 months!!!!

Colin is looking for a full time job and finishing his senior project so he can graduate at the beginning of May - with my job being Government Contract work - our actual "employer" and hourly pay can change any time the contract period ends. Well the current contractor keeps getting extensions, so we aren't getting a raise like we deserve - it was suppose to end this month, but it has been extended until end of May so who knows what will happen after that. I've been looking for other work, but no such luck just yet. Both Colin and I have started to apply to different jobs in Utah and out of state - hopefully something will come along sometime "soon":) 

I'm headed to Hawaii next Friday for 10 days with my Mom, Dad and Sister! Colin will be playing in his high school alumni tourny next weekend so we have much to look forward to:)

That's it for the Olson's for now!
