On the first day of christmas

Here is my REAL Christmas tree. I had never had a real Christmas tree till I married Andrew and he was absolutely appalled that I had never had a real tree. He is from Oregon and has never had anything but a real Christmas tree. So we went to the christmas tree lot and picked one out. This one called out to me. We tied it onto the top of our car(luckily we have a rack) and brought it home. I love it, it smells great, and misses me when I go to work. Not only that, it has 1000 lights on it. Yes, thats right 1000. I know, you are all jealous. I love Christmas.

UTES!

As most of you know I am a die hard Ute football fan. Since I graduated I have not been able to get football tickets. However, the BYU-Utah game was a different story. We camped out and waited in line all night to get standing room only tickets at the top of the stadium. I then had to sneak in the stadium, pretending I was a student. It makes the noses bleed section look like prime real estate. It was sooo worth it though. I would like to throw out a thanks to Max Hall(BYU quarterback) for helping us win the game with all the interceptions he threw. I would also like to nominate him for MVP of the game for the 5 interceptions he threw. It was a lot of fun and I am glad that I forced andrew to give me his student ticket. : ) Thanks to April who camped out while I was working till 3am.

No one even waited till the end of the game to rush the field. Ya. It was that good. 48-24

Andrew and I have moved into Nate's basement but before we did we had to do some much needed painting. The whole living room/kitchen was in this awesome wood paneling....as much as I love wood paneling, it had to go. This was my first experience painting and I have to say that it kinda sucks. Its not just like you can just paint a wall. No, you have to first paint primer a couple of times and then the actual paint a couple of times. So you end up painting the same thing like 5 times. However once it was done it looks really good. I am so excited for nate and di to come see it and tell me how awesome I am. Anywho, check out the pics.
