Our First Christmas Tree

Tonight we went and bought our tree.(Thanks Mom and Tom!)
It was the first one we touched. I guess we are not really into digging around. It was already opened and ready to go, so we figured why not.

Not that this should discredit our tree.


It's just right.

Plus Luke looks so stylish inspecting it.

Two reasons it's called Black Firday

1. Because when you get up in time for the sales it is still pitch black outside. We woke up at 4:00 A.M and headed to Macys, then to Target, Bed Bath and Beyond and a few other shops. I personally thought it was fantastic. I love the adventure of it all! We bought decorations(the star for the tree. Yay!). Plus we are finished with our Christmas shopping.




2. Because when you are delirious from waking up so early you sometimes do things that cause you to black out. For instance, slice your knuckle with brand new knives, pass out a couple times, cause your husband to freak out and your in-laws to drive all the way out to tell you to go to the emergency room. (By the way, thank you Lana <3)
No stitches,...they just super glued it. Now we are waiting to see how much we have to pay for them to glue my finger together.
YAY BLACK FRIDAY!

My husband and his quick anti-traditions rant

He loves Christmas. But one night he decided that he wanted to explain why Christmas trees, ornaments, candy canes and snowmen should not be involved with Christmas! He says,"What do they have to do with Jesus". So I decided to be dramatic for our friends visiting and decapitate one of the snowmen (who's head comes off ). Well, Luke wanted to show me up so he grabbed the glass bowl off ornaments and threw them across the floor!!! The best part was the look on his face when he saw that he broke them. He thought they were plastic.
HAHA!!!!

Thanksgiving 09

THANKSGIVING!
Good food, great family, too much dessert. Just the norm.

Child to remain anonymous

Well, I was sure this day would come. Really, I'm not shocked. And I'm not one to get all hyped up on this Swine Flu madness. But today it was official.
One of my favorite students in my class,...let's call him John, wasn't feeling well last Thursday. So I got down to his level, rubbed his back and said," Hey there little Johnny. What's wrong? You not feeling well? Maybe you should go home early today?" But he didn't want to go. He said he thinks he can wait.
He did not come on Friday..
He did not come today..
And then they tell me he has it.

Like I said, I'm not that concerned. I figured if I didn't get it from one of the kids at work I would get it from the PLNU students that are soon to be quarantined next door to our apartment.

I'll post any updates. :)

Living in Point Loma

I just got cut off by two mercedes in a matter of two minutes. Its hard for me to not conclude that everyone that owns one believes that the reason they are so expensive is because they paid for the road they drive on too.

LUKEY POOKIE POO

Yesterday I came home from work to find our Christmas lights on, everything all lit up...AND our apartment clean...

I love my husband.
