Christmas Letter 2014

-


I asked Isaac to write this year's letter as I was having a hard time keeping it to one page and kept writting only about Coirnne. So here ya go! 
 
Well Merry Christmas y’all!!!  It’s been quite a busy year for the Fifield family to say the least.  I graduated from my UH-1N initial qualification course in July.  And about a month and half before that, Jen had the wonderful opportunity to push a little human out of her body.  We decided to keep her, and named her Corinne, we named her after my hometown in Utah.  Since then she has done nothing but terrorize us, all while melting our hearts and those of every sweet grandma in Minot!  She’s getting big and starting to make real people poop…But I digress.
            After I graduated from my initial qual course, we hit the road for the 4th time in 2 years to make it to Minot North Dakota!  The dog hated the drive and the cat showed no emotion.  We heard so many horror stories about it up here.  They were all true!  It sucks!  Just kidding, we really like it here!  I go hunting on most weekends and Jen plays with the baby and is making lots of friends from our squadron and church.  I fly the helicopter almost everyday during the week, and sometimes twice a day.  I’m getting tons of hours and I love my job!  ‘Murica! 
            When we got here, the moving company was kind enough to lose one of the legs to our table (I hope you can read this and hear my sarcasm).  Thankfully I married a truly amazing woman and she let my buy a pool table with a ping- pong tabletop!  So now we’ll put a tablecloth over it and be one of those cool families!  I’ve been able to refurbish our old table to make it into a craft table for Jen.  When she has time (which is never by the way, remember when I said Corinne is a terrorist?  I wasn’t kidding.  She’s a terrorist legally registered with Al Qaida), she likes to do crafts to make our house into a beautiful home.  She recently pulled out her flute and starting playing again.  She is so talented and beautiful, and I don’t deserve her!  At our Christmas party last week she was told that she has some killer legs by one of my squadron mates!  No big deal. 
            I feel truly blessed to have such an amazing wife and beautiful little terrorist daughter.  I often wonder why God smiles on me so big, but I can’t figure it out.  I can only be thankful for a loving God even with all of my shortcomings.
            All right, I’ll keep my comments at church!  Merry Christmas to you- our family and friends!  I hope and pray that your Christmas/Holiday season is full of presents and commercial commodities.  Obviously I’m joking again, take time this season to reflect on your happy times from this past year, and above all else relax, and know that the Fifield’s love and miss you all.


LOVE,

Isaac, Jennifer, Corinne, Wookie, and Logan Fifield

Valentine's Day 2020

As a family of four, Valentine's Day celebrations are not the same as they were 10 years ago when I celebrated my first Valentine's Day with the love of my life.  This year was spent with my daughter.  We saw the new Sonic movie, painted pottery and got some cookies at our favorite cookie shop.  Later that night was spent making dinner, and turning in early because well, the hubs and little boy were both miserable while battling off colds and sickness.   I got to thinking, as someone who only grew up decorating for Christmas, are there really all that many people who go big when it comes to other holidays?  I have a cute little banner I put up for each major holiday, but struggle with knowing when to put it up and when to take it down. And how much is too much?  This year I saw cute family dinners with all kinds of decked out decor, and that was the first time it ever occurred to me to have a family valentines dinner.  I wonder what other ways I hav...

Four our honeymoon, Isaac and I took a four day Carnival cruise out of Long Beach, California to Catalina Island and Ensenada, Mexico. The first day we got up super early to drive from Logan, UT aaaaal the way down to Salt Lake City. One of Isaac's old mission companions was having a baby blessing. It was super awesome because after they invited us over to bbq and they also had some Hatian food (Isaac missed it very much) which was actually pretty yummy. The first day we got up super early to drive from Logan, UT aaaaal the way down to Salt Lake City.

In Vegas we decided to spend waaaay too much money at the Hard Rock Cafe (I really wanted to go because I had never eaten t...

Two weeks away and I turn 27 (I don't actually feel that old since my husband just turned 25. And I don't feel like he is actually that old since he is just finishing is last year of undergrad school. And unlike Utah, where a lot of guys serve missions so they graduate school later, being from Arizona I'm used to college graduates being younger. Result? My, what would you call it,  age that I actually feel is around 23 or 24 years. THREE weeks and a couple of days and I will be in ARIZONA!! I'm so ExCiTeD to see my family and friends! Not looking forward to the HOT weather, but it might actually be a nice break from here since it's suppose to be in the 50's by the time we leave. There are some things in Utah that are growing on me. The weather. Weird, right? I can't really figure it out myself. Normally I LOVE the heat, but I've been retaining a lot of body heat lately, so I am loving the cooler weather. Maybe it's because of the RA or the medici...
