A weekend in Idaho!

Well, my brother Wade and his wife Cadi had a baby girl on new years day. Her name is Xylie Jo Hawkins and her blessing was this last Sunday, January 29th. So luckily Jackson and I had the time off from work to be able to attend the blessing and meet the new baby.

We left Utah early Saturday morning and drove up to Idaho. Jackson worked Friday night so he slept during the day on Saturday while I went to go visit a great friend of mine, love her to death and have missed her a lot lately! Anyhow, later in the evening Jackson and I decided to go to the movies with my parents since we were all given free movie tickets from our Grandma and Grandpa Hawkins. So the movie we went and saw was "Sherlock Holmes 2". Which the boys loved it!! My mom and I on the other hand loved the action/graphics of the show but were so lost just cause we don't speak their lingo or they spoke so fast that we didn't understand what they were really saying. We'll just have to rent it again someday and put subtitles on. Nonetheless it was still fun.

After the movie we all went to Wendy's to order some dinner. Jackson has been dying to buy my dad and him a "Baconator" sandwich. Jackson and I had a Baconator a week ago and Jackson instantly thought of my dad and wanted him to have one as well. So we went through the drive-thru at Wendy's and ordered the boys a "Baconator" and I ordered a small "Son of Baconator" sandwich and my mom ordered a little roll up, followed by frosty's. Some crazy funny stuff happened in the drive-thru that had us all in tears from laughing so hard. It's one of those funny moments where you had to of been there to see the humor of it or hear one of us tell it since it's too much to type. Either way, it was still way fun!

The next day was the blessing, Wade gave a beautiful blessing to Xylie and after that we went to Wade and Cadi's house for a luncheon. The food was great and I could tell they both put a lot of work into it. We of course took some pictures of Xylie, they weren't the best since we aren't professional but pictures are better than none. Xylie is beautiful and we were glad we had the time off to attend. Later Sunday evening Jackson and I went back to Utah since we both had to work the next day.

Things are going well with us, Jackson is now an "order writer" at WinCo where he'll order the food every night as well as stock shelves. As for me, I love my new job, being a nurse is a lot of work but I do enjoy it. Every shift I've worked I am constantly on my feet. But I really do have an amazing boss, she is just so nice and already gave approval for me to have a few days off for when my sister Emily gets home from her mission. I thought that was so nice of her since I am a new employee, but ya, my boss is great! Than the co-workers I work with are great as well! Everyone is so nice and are so helpful with me in learning my new job. Jackson and I feel truly blessed that Heavenly Father could bless us with this new job!
