WinterWonderLAnd

Today we got our first official snowfall. It started this morning while Mike was taking the boys to school and has continued all day. I have taken pictures throughout the day to show the progression of the snow. It now looks like Christmas on our street. It is still snowing and doesn't look like it is going to stop anytime soon.

at 11am this morning

At 4 pm this afternoon

The rest of these were at 6:30 tonight..

It's beginning to look like Christmas

When we moved into our neighborhood we knew that they got into the holidays, however we didn't realize just how into Christmas our street got. There isn't a house on our street that isn't decked out for the holidays, ours included. Here are some pictures of our street, granted these are before the entire street was done but you get the idea...
This is our house..

Mat's b-day Party FINALLY

On Saturday we FINALLY had his birthday party considering the fact that his birthday is in SEPTEMBER. It was really small, he only had 3 friends come over, however he had NO CLUE that they were coming over. I wish that I had had a camera on me when they walked in behind me carrying birthday presents.
Here are some pictures from the party...

Playing Transformers Monopoly...They had a blast.

Blowing out the candles...the cake was a last minute purchase that the lady at the bakery was kind enough to make into a birthday cake for me.

10 Years Ago

10 years ago I gave into the nagging of my best friend Cherry and went to a pot luck dinner to meet this guy that she swore was perfect for me. When I finally got there and met him I thought oh he is kinda cute. We talked and then went to the First Presidency Christmas Devotional, where he sat almost in my lap. We then went over to Cherry's house and played games and talked and he LIED all night long. 4 Days later we went on our first solo date. And that was it. I knew 3 days later that this was it for me.

Today as we went out and about we talked about what made us fall in love with each other, why it happened so fast. For each of us it was different things, but the one thing we knew for certain is that we would spend the rest of our lives together.

Surgery has been scheduled

So my surgery has been scheduled for Tuesday December 9th. I am having about 2" of the nerve in my foot taken out. Hopefully this will correct the problem, if not I have to have another surgery.
