Welcome

It's great being able to wake up next to the one you love and know that they are yours forever. It's great to be able to go through life and make memories with that significant other and all the loved ones around you. I'm glad to be able to have such a blessed life and hopefully I'll be able to share all those wonderful memories with all of you. Enjoy!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Yup, our house is starting to look very Christmasy! We finally got our tree on Wednesday! It was a day/night I will never forget! Blake picked me up from work around 1:30ish, we filled up the car, got some treats and then headed up to Pine Valley! We got there after what felt like forever and set out on our adventure! Not knowing that we were going to get our tree I was only wearing sweats and my old converse shoes. Blake let me wear his boots because converse and 2 feet worth of snow don't go to well together! So I tightened my shoes and slid them in Blakes works boots and set out on our hike! We hiked for a good 4 miles before we decided it was time to look somewhere else. We got back to the car and went on our way further down the road! And.... there it was! Our tree! We got out cut it down and realized it was way to big so we had to cut off an extra two feet :( then we loaded it up and headed home! Oh but wait! We didn't actually get to head home until after we spent an hour and a half get our car unstuck, TWO times and then attempting to drive the truck with no traction up an icy hill also TWO times! Haha I will cherish that night forever! When we got home we measured it before we brought it inside and changed our mind on the original place we were gonna place it and had to cut an additional 2 feet off again! Eventually we got it inside and all set up! We went out and bought some ornaments and lights and got busy the rest of the night!! Now we have a beautiful tree that makes our family room beautiful! I love it! I would go up and relive that night a thousand times just to have our Christmas Tree! And now... time for pictures :)
