We're still Alive, Despite being Frozen!

O.K., So we haven't been very bloggy this month but it's hard when you don't have any good pictures! We still don't have a digital camera so it's sorta hard to post anything interesting. Anyhoo, I will try to keep you all updated without the fun photos. So, here's the news: We still haven't found out where the heck we're going this summer for the internship! so Jared is just going to classes and Brody and I are posting his resume like crazy at any potential internships that pop up on the school website. Jared always comes home and asks "Where did I apply to today?" He knows I can't just sit by and wait for the career fair. I am a bit obsessive about it, I admit. We will probably know by Febuary where we are going so that will be good,.. Except then I won't have anything to do.
It has been a hard month for my side of the family and that's probably why I haven't blogged much. It's so much easier to share good news than blah news. My brother's daughter, Whitney, is making progress at primary childrens hospital but slow progress. I will see if I can post the care site so you can all hear updates from the horses mouth, if you are interested. He explains how she's doing very clearly for us non-medical types. We just got some bad news about my fathers Leukimia. It seems that it has taken a bad turn and he, most likely, will only be able to have one more round of chemo therapy. This is also explained better by my brother on the care site. Then Beth got evicted from her apartment yesterday. We are all so mad about it. She had the best roommates and they were so helpful to her with her anxiety. I told you this months been a downer. I am sorry there is nothing really interesting to report except that I am becoming an expert on writing reports on Construction. Ha, Ha, Ha.... Anyway, we miss you all... come visit us!... Love,.. Jared, Mary, and Brody

Happy New Year!!!

Hey everyone, I hope you all had a great Christmas and a Happy New Year. We had a rollercoaster of a holliday. It was really fun to be at Grandma and Grandpa Chaffins for Christmas and spend New Years Eve with the Chadwicks at their new house in Rexburg. We ate alot of good food (burp!) and spent time with family which was awesome. The hard part of this holiday has been the car accident Edwin's family was in. We've been thinking about them non stop with little Whitney in a coma at Primary Childrens Hospital. We hope she continues to improve and will keep praying for her and the whole family. Along with that really hard thing, Brody got sick with a really high fever that lasted about a week so we were pretty preoccupied after Christmas. I wish the whole extended Wells family could be together through this ordeal with Whitney but it isn't possible so we just wait for updates from my mom. Rexburg is empty at the moment except the local population and those that are in town for the Rexburg Temple Open House which we are going to on Friday. I am excited about that because I have never been to an Open House before. Anyway,.. it's 2008.. I'll probably forget and keep writing 2007. Love you all, Mary, Jared, and Brody
P.S. We wish we were going to Texas with everyone this month... stupid school!
