Our Adventures

So last week we were in Herbert and my brother Roy was home from Thetis Island for Christmas. He had not really seen our new computer much so we had some fun with the webcam. Here's what happened!

Hello there people, I'm back. Now that I have something to talk about. It just seems that the events in my life are not the most exciting right now but I have a few that have happened lately. This past weekend we got a tree! Our very first Christmas tree. Chris likes to call him Tom, I don't know how a tree can be a boy or a girl but whatever. He was a little frozen the day we got him so we had to let him leaf out and then we decorated sunday morning. The night before we prepared for his arrival by rearranging our bedroom and living room so he wouldn't just be off to the side but actually be part of the room. Here's the result.





In order to make a cozy Christmas room we had to put the desk in our bedroom so we could move our couch around in the living room. I think it turned out pretty good and we still have room to move around. I guess we're pretty good at rearranging.
We bought some ball things and lights a few weekends ago and a little reindeer named rudy, oh and our angel Bobby for the topping. (Nice undies Chris)



This is the finished product, the thing under the tree is our nativity scene that we got from Chris' parents last Christmas. It's a nice little extra touch. A new tradition for me to have a nativity scene under the tree.





Yup, so other than us getting our first Christmas tree and it being beyond cold this past week not much else is new. Yesterday was our 6 month anniversary, it's crazy how fast things have gone since we got married. It seems like much longer than 6 months because of all the things that have happened in between. This weekend we're going out to Herbert because Chris' girls basketball team has a tournament in Swift Current which is only half an hour away. We're pretty excited because Ryan's coming home that weekend from Capes so it'll be good to see him again. I've started my study mode, yesterday was the last day of school so I got to sleep in today instead of waking up at 7am to walk in -25 degree weather. Tomorrow I have a presentation for this research thing I did this semester and then the next day I have an exam worth 50% with only three questions on it. Pretty sketchy, I know. And there's such limited stuff to study for that exam that I'm worried he'll throw something completely unrelated to anything we've talked about. I plan to get notes ready before the weekend for the next exam after that which isn't till next wednesday and then after this weekend I'll just be studying, studying, studying. I borrowed a puzzle from Chris' aunt so that'll be my study break activity. I should probably start our wedding scrapbook too so we'll see. I don't want to get to caught up in that stuff that I don't study...or maybe I do.
Well, that's all for now. Sorry I've been a blogging slacker but so is life. I'll try and do better. Until next time...
