Well, we finally got to putting up some of our Christmas decorations. Since it is our first Christmas, and we are a poor married college couple, we made do with what we had. I got most of my stuff from yard sales on facebook from around the area!
I was so excited all before Thanksgiving to put up stuff, then the time came when we could and I just had no motivation to put it up for the 2 weeks that we have left here. But it definitely makes our home just a little bit more happier :)! Michael helped with putting the three pieces together of the tree and wasn't really into all the other parts of it. He did the dishes, but I think I got the better end of the deal. :)
We leave for Utah (I can't say home because Michael says it isn't our home anymore) in about 2 1/2 weeks and we/ more I am REALLY excited! For those that are friends with me on facebook, you already know ! (Sorry about that)
Well here are just some random little things that we have done but aren't worthy enough to make a whole blog post on.
- I officially am Allison Sauceda and got my official Missouri License. I thought it was kind of sad getting rid of my Utah one because when people would ask to see my license they thought it was so cool that I was from Utah. Now just a boring old Missourian.
- We got Mannheim Steamroller Tickets at the Fabulous Fox Theater for December 9th ( I will most likely be doing a blog post about that though).
- Michael went and played indoor soccer with some people from the ward and he loved it. We need to find more groups of people that do sports and other things like that. That is all up Michaels alley. He unfortunately doesn't have a wife that is very into that, but if he ever wants to scrapbook or watch Once Upon A Time, I am all there.
- For thanksgiving we had dinner at our friends house and it was her first thanksgiving ever and she did a FABULOUS job!! We are seriously so grateful that we have awesome friends that are willing to invite us over to their house and cook a whole meal for us. So thank you again Grovers!! (This should have its own blog post, but I don't have pictures and who likes a blog post without pictures?! )
- We both just started the first of our last two weeks of the semester and we are both SO ready to have a break!
Well, that is about it. Here are some pictures for you to enjoy of us setting up Christmas in our home!
