our first Christmas tree!

Yesterday, Scott and I went to the tree farm in Greenville and picked out our first, real Christmas tree!  It was a lot of fun.  We didn't realize how expensive they would be, but we found the perfect tree for us that was reasonable:)
We thought about how awesome it would be to get this fat buddy, but realized it was about as big as our apartment.

We baked cookies, drank hot coco, watched Christmas Vacation, and decorated our tree's lovely branches.  It met all my expectations of putting up our first Christmas tree together:) The first year of marriage is so much fun! I just bought the star for the top today, so the tree in these pictures doesn't have a tree topper yet.




We decided every year until we begin having kids, we will buy each other an ornament for each other. Scott began that tradition two years ago with an "Our First Christmas" ornament.  I actually laughed a little when he gave it to me because I thought that was what you get for your first Christmas being married.  It's on our tree now! He says he knew he was going to  marry me, so he wanted to give it early...haha...whatever.  I look forward to having kids someday and beginning fun traditions with them.  Merry Christmas is in 26 days!!!

thank you shutterfly

I've been working on putting together our wedding book for a few months now.  I received a groupon in my email that had a good deal through shutterfly, so I went with it.  It is harder than I thought it would be.  I have so many wedding pictures to choose from!  I love them all!  I think the most annoying part is uploading more pictures.  Scott's computer is slow to do that.  It's finally coming together in the past two days. Even though it's been frustrating, putting it together has been constantly reminding me of how wonderful our wedding day was, but even more so, how blessed I am that God put such an amazing man in my life. Thank you shutterfly for allowing me to reminisce on our wedding day over and over and over again.  Soon I will be able to sit and enjoy looking through it...Lord willing it turns out well:)  This is the picture I chose for our front cover...our photographer did amazing.
