Christmas 2007

We had a good Christmas this year. Got to spend a lot of time with Ryan, Meg, and Addie, but sadly, we didn't get to see Kelly, Sarah, or Abigail.

I'd have liked to have spent more time with my grandparents and gotten to see any of my cousins, but we didn't get as much time off from work we'd have liked, as is always the case.

Megan instituted a white elephant exchange this year, which was hilarious. "What is the most ridiculous thing you can buy for a dollar?" We seemed to have a bit of a gangsta theme going on.

This time of year always reminds me of how blessed we are to have such a wonderful and supportive family. This was mine and Kelly's first Christmas as a married couple and our last one without a baby. It's amazing to me how much can change in a year, and how much never will. My husband will always try to stick some type of wrapping paraphernalia up my nose, my family will always go above and beyond with gifts and make way too much food, and I will always want to stay longer than I acutally can.

I Have Officially Graduated!

Graduation was today. I was told the wrong times, so I was a bit late, but didn't miss anything. There were only about a dozen graduates there, so the whole thing when very quickly.

GRADUATION IS COMING!!!

I finally have all the info on my graduation. I almost had to strangle a moose to get it.

I will be graduating on Saturday, December 15th, 2007 at 1:30PM in the Eccles Conference Center Auditiorium on USU's campus. This is just a ceremony for my college. I'm not going to the big 2 hour University commencement.

Call me if you have any questions! Here is a map of the campus.

Oh, Christmas Tree

We went and bought our first Christmas tree today. It's a real Grand Fir tree. I've never had a real tree before, so this is going to be an adventure.

Our tree. (Yes, we did tie it to the top of the car to get it home...)

Finally, it's upright and in place!

I had no idea that real trees dropped so many needles!

Lighting the tree...

Finally finished...

Rita's Shed, part 2

I was at home doing homework, so I don't have too much to say about the construction for this bit.
