Micah's present.

 I know most of you are aware of pinterest.

If not you should, gives you wonderful craft, food and anything ideas.

Watch out though it can be addicting. 

I found this craft of 52 things I love. 

I used that idea and made it more into my own creation.

I really liked the outcome of it. I was happy to give it to Micah for Christmas.

I think he liked it.

Christmas Break.

 CHRISTMAS:

For Christmas eve we went to my sister Lindsay and family's house. What a blast!

We got to talk to our sister Whitney who is serving an LDS mission in Kobe, Japan.

Oh my goodness it was great to talk to her. I miss her so much. That made my Christmas right there.

We had a wonderful dinner! The traditional Christmas eve dinner. Before we headed to my sister's house we did a gift exchange with the Wiederhold Family and boy do I love them. Never a dull moment.

Christmas Micah set his alarm for 7 AM. When the alarm went off he asked if we could sleep another 30 minutes. I agreed. The alarm went off and I asked if we could wait another 10 min. Micah started to talk in his complaining voice. "Ohh mannnn I've been up since Sevennnn.. I was tooooo excited to go back asleep." I could resist I got up, didn't want him to wait another 10 minutes. We had fun exchanging gifts and spending most of our day with the Wiederhold. Made a surprise visit to my sister McKenzie and her family's house.

The day after Christmas 

we went Ice Fishing.

My grandpa and uncle were surprised and so excited to hear that I went Ice Fishing.

You could see through the ice, and it kept cracking and would echo. This was pretty scary but once I got past that fact it was fun. To be out on the middle of the ice having a fun time with Micah's family.

Tuesday 

we went on a bike ride with the Micah's family. It was crazy how nice it was outside to go on a bike ride. It was another fun moment to just spend time together. Here is a picture I got from the bike ride.

Thursday: 

Micah and I made Poppy Seed Chicken with Rice and used the sweet bowls/cup looking

things I created in Japan.

I love Christmas Break. Micah and I got to spend a lot of time together. And with our families. 

There are many more things we've done this Christmas break that are note worthy I'll just do a mention.

We did a Christmas Date in SLC with my family. Had wonderful time catching up and eating. Spending time with Micah's family and playing games and also catching up. Having Curtis and Annie here is always fun. Marissa leaves Monday and so we've just trying to have all kinds of fun before everyone leaves. 

Like I said I love Christmas break.

ONE YEAR BABY!

One year ago from December 17th, Micah and I had our One Year Anniversary.

Wow, time goes by so fast.

I love Micah more since the day we've been married.

It's been such a fun first year.

As you've seen reading my blog.

One year down.... Eternity to go. :)

My New Favorite Song

Okay it's been my favorite for awhile now. I don't know why I love it so much.

Does it have to do with the fact she dresses like an Asian in real life? Her voice is really good. 

She was off of x-factor. 

I just ordered her CD on Amazon and it will hopefully be here tomorrow. So I can enjoy this song EVEN more! 

I really do LOVE this song! I even have my program director (Whitney Erickson) Lovin' it too!

December 13th!!

What does the date mean to mean?

My Half-Birthday

I know it's lame to even mention half-birthdays. I have a story behind it that I like.

One day like a century ago I complained to my mother. I complained that my birthday was lame. My birthday is June 13th, I don't get checked out for lunch. All my sisters got checked out for lunch. They called it a special lunch. This made me jealous that I didn't get one. And the year I made it such a big deal that on December 13th my mom and grandma came and checked me out at lunch. I was so happy. I felt awesome to be out at a sweet restaurant eating lunch with my mom and grandma. 

Made me so happy, my mom told me we'll do lunch on your half-birthday. I'll come and check you out and we'll go. This made a 7th grade me so happy, that every year on my half-birthday I'd ask my mom if we were going to go to lunch.

It probably died my last year of high school. But I thought of this on December 13th as I was sitting with the girls at the high school (for my job).

I texted Micah to tell him it was my half birthday and so we celebrated after work, with Taco Bell. YUMMM! Oh and our Iphones came in that day! YAY!

It was good! Minus the girl drama at work. :)

Happy half-birthday to me!

"My Cup, My Cup"

Remember the post from Japan?

How I mentioned I got to blow glass?

Well there is my glass I produced into a cup for Micah.

My mom sent it to Cydne, and I got it from Cydne last night.

I am very happy with the way it turned out.

Getting ready for Christmas

We did Black Friday this year. Which I'll just say, Black Friday is death. Especially at Walmart. We went for our job. So we were on the clock shopping for troubled teens. I will admit it was a way to start the Christmas season. Thinking of people who will not be home with family and being able to shop for them to get a Christmas. At Walmart we would stand in line and Micah or I would go out and try to find things that were on sale. The obstacle was to try to find your way back through all the crazies at Walmart. Well we went to Target after, which was way better than Walmart. They had a line that was monitored so no little butters. It was well managed. While we were there we bought a CHRISTMAS TREE. We were not here for Christmas last year we were on our Honeymoon in Cancun. So we had a different kind of Christmas last year. So this is our first year putting up a Christmas Tree. We bought decorations and things there. And the Saturday after Thanksgiving we set up for Christmas. It has been so fun to see a Christmas tree in our cold apartment. We are happy how it turned out. MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL! I hope you are having a wonderful Christmas/holiday season.
