Andrew having trouble ;)So, Christmas was great! We went to our sister's house and spent the night to wake up and watch our nephew's open there presents. That was great I loved waking up and having them so excited to open presents. The one thing that I like the most about it is that they also not only want to open their presents they want to open everyone else also. So, we let them help us open all or presents. It was very good Christmas morning. My sister-in-law fixed us breakfast which was great while they got ready to go to her husbands parents to have breakfast. It was snowing like crazy where we lived that morning so we were hesitant to go out in it but we battled it anyway.... It turned out good and we got to our place safely. We got ready and headed to Andrew's parents and we got a lot of great stuff that we wanted. Then I went to my parents and spent the rest if Christmas there eating dinner and visiting with family. I always love having Christmas at my families house just because have everyone there that we don't see often during the year. All in all we had a really great Christmas and are very excited the way it turned out and couldn't ask for a better day! I would have shared some pictures but for some reason we didn't get any, kinda weird for Andrew because he usually is photographer on special occasions like that. So sorry about that you will just have to imagine. Now we are going to move on to just life in general for us....

We have been really good lately! We have been working a lot, but we also have been enjoying the time that we have together for the little break Andrew has from school. We love to play games and watch movies and just take walks around our apt complex. I know I know its COLD, but we still like to get out and enjoy the fresh air. Andrew is planning on graduating after this semester which we are excited about. He then transfer to the U of U and finish his Meteorology degree. It will take a little bit but he will get it soon enough. We have learned to be patient and I guess that is all you can do when it comes to school right? I plan in attending school, I just have no idea anymore on what I want to study. So, that is kinda my problem. For now though I am plan on doing some generals and in the mean time figure out what I want to do. I have decided that I am going to do better with all of this school stuff with the new year coming, that is one of my goals. That brings me to the new year goals.

When the new year comes you have time to think of all the stuff that you want to change or keep the same mostly to change... I have a few things that I want to change and plan on keeping those goals and figuring a way to get the goals accomplished. I have decided to write down what I am planning on doing then I will tell my husband about them and have him help me with the things i wish to have accomplished. Then finally come up with the ways I will get them done and act upon it with help from friends and family!!! I am so happy for the new year and I plan on doing all this and make sure I am time, I think that a big part of why goals fail is because people don't make the time that is sufficient for that particular goal. Anyway.... I am so grateful for all the people who have supported me through the whole year in everything I did. I also would like to tell Andrew that he is the love of my life and that I would not know where I would be with out him, I am grateful that we have been married for a year and I hope to have many more years of great memories! Thanks and I love you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dolphins at Jets

E ai tches!! I am so excited for this upcoming game on Sunday at 2:30 p.m. on channel 2. This is for the AFC East Title crown and the rights to be in the playoffs and the number three seed. The Dolphins are the hottest team or one of them and they are in prime position to be the number three seed and beat the stupid Favre Jets. I hope they do and probably will. This would make this an even greater turnaround season for this team. Go Dolphins!!!

Finals/Birthday/Christmas gifts Oh My!!!

Andrew and I haven't even got our Christmas shopping done yet!! Can you believe it. It sucks! Andrew has been having finals so that has made us focus more on that right now, then Christmas stuff. He will take his last one on Thursday, so that will be great and we can get in Christmas! We plan on going this weekend which I will feel better when it happens.

Other than not knowing what we are doing for Christmas presents we are planning out what we will do for Christams day because it is crazy this year to get to all the people we want to visit that includes freinds. But I know that it will turn out good because no matter what we have each other and everyone gets visited!

I love Christmas time though its nice when you don't think about all the stress. If your focus on what Christmas is truly about you get a peaceful feeling and everything else falls into place and your not as stressed as you were in the beginning which is great! Andrew's birthday is the 13Th and I am so excited to celebrate! I have it all planned out and I know he will love every min. He will be 25 holy cow he is getting up there. I tell him he is an old man all the time and he gets mad, but is true!! I love him though even though he is losing his hair. He will look like his dad sooner rather than later. He is so not excited and will kill me when we reads this. Sorry hun! Love you!

Well that is us for now. I guess I didn't talk about myself..... Well I am just still working to get the money for those presents I still haven't bought LOL! I will though I will! I am excited that Andrew doesn't have school for a month that will be great to spend more time together! No more waiting around for him to get back from school. ;). This time I am really going. Tell ya more next time.

Thanksgiving/Holidays

Here we go again, you get to read some more of mine and Andrew's life. Well, first we had a wonderful Thanksgiving!! It was not at my families house like we usual. We went to Andrew's parents and it was just as good. I am happy really on holidays as long as I am around family and friends and that is exactly the way it was. We enjoyed each other's company,ate good food and and even played some games. Which brings me to the other next thing I wanted to talk about.

The holidays are great! I just love this time of the year, just something in the air makes everything wonderful. People are more giving and are much much nicer and I love that. You have lights all over which are so beautiful plus the snow is great! Definitely, Winter is my favorite season! You get to curl up with the one you love ,sip hot coco and make conversation. Lets not forget the decorating, that is fun in its self!!! I am getting ready to put our tree up and finish all the decorations. I am really big in doing that because I grew up with it My aunt loved to decorate!!! I just want to let everyone know though family and friends that I love you and am so grateful for everything you do! Please please never forget.
