Deck The House

Now that Thanksgiving is over, I only think it's appropriate that it's time to set up for Christmas.

My room-mate Brittany and I are a lot a like. And I am super glad.

We are both crazy about Christmas. 

And we LOVE it!

So we decide that today was the perfect day to set up for Christmas.

We turned on the Christmas music and we got all the Christmas stuff out.

 Here is Brittany putting the lights on a tree.

Turkey Day 2010

I spent my first Thanksgiving not with my family.

It was different but I had a really really good time and I am very Thankful for Chris and his family for inviting me to eat with them.

It's fun to see how everyone does things different.

Different traditions.

Different foods.

But I enjoyed it.

And they did an amazing job to make me feel like home.

They always do.

I LOVE spending time with Chris and his family.

Jilly and Kayli are like my little sissy's.

His mom and step-dad are so sweet and nice.

And Brenton is always so sweet and nice too.

In the morning we had pumpkin rolls and bread for breakfast.

And they go to a movie before they eat dinner.

But Chris and I didn't go.

Because I have been BEGGiNG Chris to go play basketball with me.

It was even nice enough to play outside.

I let him win both games.

Just kidding but he killed me the first game, and I put up a harder fight during the second.

I am looking forward to more games for me and him to come.

It was a very nice and relaxing holiday.

Girls Night

Now I think of the words "girls night"

What's that? Haha, since I'm always with Chris.

Which I LOVE. But, it's always good to have a girls night too.

Well me and the roomies and I have been planning a girls night FOR FOREVER.

Since last Friday was Susy's B-day. We decided that we will have a girls night.

I worked till 8 that night.

But I came home.

We got dolled up and went and ate at Olive Garden.

I LOVE everything about that place. 

From the drinks, to the salad, breadsticks, and the spaghetti.

Yeah, I'm a plain Jane and get that every time, but I LOVE it!

Then we went Bowling. Man I did HORRiBLE!

And then we vegged out and just chilled at the apartment.

And had a sleep-over in the living room.

It was a WONDERFUL girls night.

Thanks girls.

Happy Birthday Susy!

6,4,6

Okay so I know this is korny.

But I use this blog as my journal too.

So are you wondering what these numbers are?

Well... You are about to find out.

The first 6 is... it's been 6 months since Chris and I went on our first date.

Ah, I can't believe it.

I am so thankful for his dear sweet mother, because she is the one who set us up.

The 4 is 4 months since we became "official"

I still tell people we've been dating for 6.

And the last 6 is... 6 months till I turn 21.

Haha I feel like I am growing up so fast.

It's weird how fast time has flown.

But I cherish every moment of my life and I wouldn't trade it for the world.

Sweet Sweet Boyfriend.

Man, this week has been pretty crazy busy and stressful.

My class at work is filling up.

I had atleast 12 plus kids everyday.

It was so overwhelming but fun and testing at the same time.

Chris just always knows how to make me feel better.

He's so easy to talk to and gives great advice.

We've been working out at the gym every night this past week. 

He's taught me lots of good workouts and it's been a lot of fun.

He is always motivating me to be a better person and helping me better myself, in everyway!

So Chris texted me today to see if he could come see me on his break.

I said yes, of coarse.

So I opened the door and he was standing there with a dozen pink roses.

I honestly wanted to melt.

I couldn't stop smiling.

It's so nice to have a good boyfriend who does nice things for you.

Ah I feel so blessed and lucky!

I'm a girl where the little things mean the most to me.

Here are the flowers. It's a crappy picture because it's from my phone. Don't judge the vase that's all I have.

On a tangent...

Recently Chris and I have discovered Netflix on his Xbox.

I am so addicted. It's wayyy better than redbox.

 We watch it every night. And I just love it.

So I thought I'd share with you my love for Netflix.

A Quick Trip To Richy

I got to go up to Richy for the weekend for two reasons.

1. My good friend and sis Joni got married on Friday.

2. Preston (my cousin) got baptized on Saturday.

I left super early Friday morning and got ready at my Nanny's house.

It was fun to visit with her and my grandpa.

My gramps' shop is coming along so well.

Him and my Nanny were working on painting and stuckoing the shop. 

It's looking really good.

So Friday I went to the wedding at the luncheon.

Let me remind you that Joni is one of my first really good friends who have gotten married.

I am gonna miss my sis but I am so happy for her too!

Then me and my nanny ran some errends around Richfield.

It was good to see some people and catch up with some people from there.

Nanny and I went to the Dairy and got some yummy cream of broccoli soup.

Then I went home, freshened up and went to the reception.

The Ceremony was beautiful! I cried haha.

The reception was amazing.

Joni and Kasey are such a cute couple!

Congrats you two.

Good luck with your life together.

 Joni and Me

 Macey and Joni

 The happy couple.

So cute together.

 Awe kisses.

Saturday was the day of Preston's baptisim

It was a wonderful day.

The program was good.

Ryan did such a great job.

It was good to hear words of advice to Preston from my family.

I have such awesome family on both sides.

They are good strong people.

I am truly blessed for the family I have.

Oh yeah. Happy 18th Anniversary Rich and She!

 This picture has a funny story. My grandparents wanted pictures taken for their obituaries.

They are always planning ahead. So I took single pictures of each of them and one of them together.

I was joking to Addie that maybe I could make a business of taking pictures of people for their obituaries.

 And I needed a picture with them too!

 Dylan LOVES sweets. He couldn't stay away from the treat table.

 Me and My Deekers. I LOVED hanging out with him. He is such a little stud.

Here is a cute quote I found that goes so well with this picture.

"COUSiN TO COUSiN WE WiLL ALWAYS BE, SPECiAL FRiENDS FROM THE SAME FAMiLY TREE."

 Here's cute little Josie and Me.

I can't believe how big she is.

 I love this picture of me and Preston.

He is such an awesome kid. I can't believe how tall he is.

Soon he will pass me up.

And Channy. He was SOOO exited to take a picture with me (joking).

But I wanted a picture with all my boys.

Guess we'll get one next time.

Thanks to all my family for everything ya'll did for me this weekend.

I loved sleeping at Nanny and Grandpa's.

I loved being able to see all my family.

I missed the twins, but hopefully next time :)

And congrats Joni and Preston.
