Hello my friends.  It has been an eventful and satisfying week for us.  

Bad news story: On Thursday, I dropped off MyKel for class and then was on my up to the free parking lot near the temple.  Suddenly, I heard a siren and I was pulled over.  AHH!!  MyKel and I were in a hurry that morning, so I scraped a large hole out of the frost on the front windshield and rolled down my window.  Everything seemed to be fine, until I got a fine.  $85.  As it turns out, ALL of your windows must be scraped and clean in order to be on the road.  I learned my lesson...the hard way.   

Good news story: The geology museum on campus receives many of its rocks and minerals from a couple  that lives in Colorado Springs.  They wanted to make another donation, and the geology department was trying to figure out how they could transport all of the samples back to the school.  Somehow they found out that MyKel is from Monument (right next to CO Springs), so they asked us to pick them up.  They are letting us take a school vehicle out to Colorado, paying for the gas, and paying us $$ on top of that!! Aw ya...talk about blessings.  We are very grateful to have been given this opportunity. As Bishop Wrightson would say, "oh, the blessings of being a full tithe payer."  :)

We are excited for Christmas this year...and a break from school! We had an amazing ward Christmas party last night, complete with waiters, delicious food, ballroom dancing, and live music.  The funniest part of the night was when the fire alarm went off during the elegant dinner.  

Here is a random picture with Santa Claus that we got on campus Thursday afternoon:

Merry Christmas!! From the Hazards and Santa Claus
