Merry Christmas to you

In our Christmas card we also sent out a timeline highlighting our year. If you click on it, you should be able to read the whole thing.  If you read this blog regularly, you probably already know everything that it covers :)

Merry Christmas to all of you!!!

Happy Times

We have been loving this time of year so far. It all started off with an early Thanksgiving/Christmas party in with Scott's side of our family. We had a blast being together and it was a great start to the holidays!

We have also been spending time with my side.  Most of it was intentional, but we did end up as refugees at my parents house for several days after the crazy windstorm that knocked out our power! My brothers family didn't have power either, so they stayed at Mom and Dad's too!  It was a lot of fun!

Our house fared very well in the storm. My parents lost several trees, unfortunately one of them was my favorite one.  Scott cut the whole thing up, he had a good time re-living his logger days.

Speaking of trees...here's one that was cut down on purpose!  We got our Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving and we've loved having it in our home!

We've also been loving our fireplace.

 

Pursuing the Dream...

Heather has been a busy girl pursuing her dream.

Upon graduation last Spring Heather landed a job with Shadow Mountain Records | Excel Entertainment | Deseret Book as their Music and Film Publicist.  

pub·li·cist/ˈpəbləsist/

Noun:

A person responsible for publicizing a product, person, or company.

She works with an amazing team and is having the time of her life.  A little known fact about Heather - she is stubborn.  This is one of her best qualities!  When she has a dream she finds a way to achieve it.  As a little girl she dreamed of being a news broadcaster.  She became a great people person and learned how to write well.  Once in college she realized that she wanted to take a behind the scenes jobs and work with people on a daily basis.  So she decided to pursue the public relations route.  

Now her dream is realized and she is making a splash.  Again, as part of a great team, she helped put the first Mormon artist on the Christian Billboard chart - charting at #6.  She helped get votes for their artist who's hoping for her first Grammy nomination.  She gets to help plan and work events like CD release concerts and music video shoots.  Heather has the opportunity to send press releases and mingle with Utah's TV and Radio conglomeration as new products come out.      

Today she told me about standing off camera while one of the artists was featured on a morning show.  She got to see and feel the vibe of the place that was the catalyst for getting her where she is standing today.  I could tell that just being in the news room was a cool experience for her as she got to reminisce about her childhood dream.     

What is the opposite of the bread-winner?  Well that's been me.  But I am keeping busy.  I have enjoyed this semester. I have learned a ton about Public Relations and have been able to improve my writing and crisis management skills.  It has been a big boost to watch Heather having so much fun in the same field.  

I have really enjoyed learning more about social media.  My favorite platform is Twitter - the micro-blogging site.  I am working on understanding Google+ because it seems more family friendly than other sites.  So follow me on Twitter (@hendrixscott) and make a Google+ page so we can "hangout."    

Beautiful Heartbreak

Our team at work has been working on the new album from Hilary Weeks, Every Step.

This music video debuted today and I want to share it with you all! I love the message of this song. Grab a tissue :)

A fall weekend

We had a lot of fun this weekend, starting with a stroll in Park City.  We browsed shops like this cool place with hundreds of old signs and pictures.  

A lot of places were decorated for fall/Halloween.  There were groups going on ghost tours and we eavesdropped in on a few stories.  

A bunch of couples in our neighborhood got together for an 80's themed party.  We had so much fun with everyone!  People dressed up and there were some awesome outfits and hairstyles.  

My dad got a new tractor this week and he let me take it for a spin.  I have great memories of riding on tractors with my grandpa and dad.  I haven't ridden one in years and it was fun.

We definitely made the most of the beautiful fall weather!  We're loving it!
