The Polar Express

Jaden is beyond obsessed with trains (especially Thomas). So of course when Papa introduced the Polar Express movie to him a month or two ago he was hooked and that's all he wanted to talk about and watch. During the holidays they have an actual Polar Express train ride that goes to the "North Pole" and back, so of course we just had to do it with Jaden. Papa booked the tickets and in the beginning of January off we went to Flagstaff for our Polar Express adventure! On the train ride you get yummy hot chocolate, cookies, sing Christmas carols, and Santa comes on the train and gives all the kids a bell.

Eli, Brityn, and Jaden

Cousins!!

Such a fun and magical experience for the kids, so worth it!! Although it's a pretty long drive from Gilbert to Flagstaff, so I think next year we will maybe make a weekend trip out of it and get a hotel.

*How We Met*

Josh and I had both been up to BYU-Idaho for our first time in January 2007, but NEVER MET each other while we were there which was weird since you usually know everyone in such a small town like Rexburg. Anyways we both came home in July after our school year was over and got a job. This is where the magic started at a company called Magellan Health Services. It was a brand new company so we all had to go through training, and on our first day of training we had to go around the room and say are names and a little about ourselves. So I stood up first said my name and that I was going to school at BYU-Idaho and I was going back in January. It then came around to Josh's turn and he said his name and that he went to BYU-Idaho too and he was going back in January too. We looked at each other and it was from that point on we were inseparable.
