So last weekend we went on an adventure to a Christmas Tree Farm not too far away, and we got to cut down our own tree to put up in our little apartment. It was really fun watching Brandon go at the tree with his little hand saw, I didn't do much:) And we had fun getting it all up and decorated.
I have to tell everyone that I made this wreath...I decided instead of spending $30 on one, I would try and make it myself, it saved me a lot of $money and I think it turned out ok:) I also did this table center peice it cost like $5, can't beat that!
I love Christmas because all I can think about is how Lucky I am to be a member of the church and have a great family and most of all a wonderful husband! He is working so hard to make his company successful, and we're finally starting to see the results. I'm so proud of him.:) Christmas time always makes me thankful for all the things that I usually take for granted. A warm place to sleep, food, and family & friends to celebrate the holidays with.
My Favorite Things about Christmas
1. Spending time with the people you LOVE.
2. Seeing people's reaction to the gifts you give them.
3. Realizing how BLESSED we are.
4. Making sure Christ is the center of Christmas.
5. Yummy TREATS that make the house smell good.
So that's my little schpeel about Christmas.:) Anyway, everything else is going good, I'm getting used to a fast paced life here. People don't slow down for anything, it was hard to adjust but I'm finally feeling more comfortable. We really like our ward, and are starting to make friends with the few young couples that are in the ward.:) For some reason I never thought I would see snow here but...to my surprise, it's freezing and it did **snow* the last two days. Not like a Utah snow of course, but it even stuck around for awhile. So now I know that if it snows two inches...school is shut down, that cracks me up. Us Utahns go to school in two feet of snow right?!!
I'm planning on getting my hair license after the Christmas break and getting a job doing hair, at least part-time. It should be a fun little adventure. Right now I've just been helping Brandon do office type stuff for the business. It's pretty easy, and I can stay if my PJ's all day:)
Well we can't wait to see everyone! Hope everyone has a great week!
