A very merry Christmas for us!

Our first Christmas together has been unforgettable.
We are truly blessed to be surrounded by so many people who love and support us.
Anyway, here is a little story of our first Christmas.

We went on a romantic date to Temple Square! This special date brought back many memories of last year. The lights were beautiful as usual, parking was free, and dinner was 6 bucks! We would like to thank the nice hispanic man who randomly gave me a $15 dollar gift card to Chili's.

My beautiful best friend was home with her precious baby Hallie.
We went iceskating!
Neither of us are that good on skates haha. But we chugged a long nicely
UNTIL.....
Michael let go of my hand to "show me something" and fell and hit his head on the ice:( Scary moment for me... However all is well with my boy. Luckily he only suffered a minor concussion. Michael is kind of a crazy boy...but with a minor head injury I am sure you can imagine!
On Christmas Eve we had a cheese dinner (Raclette). It's tradition. I think Michael found it a little interesting. What we do is melt cheese and then put it all over different kinds of foods like: potatoes, tomatoes, pickles, bread, salami, sausage, and pickled onions which are my favorite. I know it's a little strange, but we LOVE it!
My lovely mother gave us matching pajamas. They were interesting pajamas. I am pretty sure I could have fit another me in my bottoms.
Of course we cuddled.
Michael was surprised with 2 tickets to the Rose Bowl on January 1, 2010 in Pasadena, California!
We both love the Twilight series! (Well mostly Michael haha) But here we are with our Edward and Bella dolls! Oh ya, my parents had my bouquet preserved. I don't really get how...but somehow they crystallized the flowers so that they would look real! I love it!
Here we are with our Rose Bowl tickets! I don't think we could be any more excited!
We got matching Ohio State sweatshirts! Michael's face is kind of funny...I don't think we got a serious face out of him for quite some time. I think he was a little too excited about his tickets.
We spent most of Christmas day at my Grandparents house.

This cute little boy's name is Thomas. They really have fun playing together!


Here is the video of Michael opening the Rose Bowl tickets. We kind of thought he would start screaming and freaking out but he did quite the opposite haha!

It was a perfect first Christmas together! We look forward to many more!

Merry Christmas!

Christmas break is finally here! We could not be more excited! The next 2 weeks are full of:
gingerbread houses
sugar cookies
sleepovers
cuddling in blankets with hot chocolate
sleepovers
presents
sledding/snowball fights
cheese dinners
temple square
a special phone call from a brother
family
But most of all we hope to spend some time reflecting on the Savior and His birth. We are so grateful for His birth and His life. We would not be where we are today without Him. We truly are blessed.
As we think back on this year and all the amazing things that have happened. We find ourselves overwhelmed with gratitude for our families and all the support they have given us, each other and Heavenly Father's plan in guiding our paths to so perfectly cross. We know we were meant to be and are so excited to continue creating our own little fairytale. We are grateful for our jobs, the opportunity we both have to go to school, the gospel, our cute tiny apartment, and all the little every day miracles we experience.
We wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

BEST FRIENDS!

I have come to the conclusion that being married is like always having a best friend around
Someone you can laugh with and laugh at and never have to feel embarrassed about anything
Someone you can hold hands with, hug, and kiss as much as you want
Someone who knows you better than anyone else
Someone you can talk to about everything and anything
Someone that will protect you and take care of you
Someone you can play silly games with like "Gotcha last"
Someone who will listen and understand
Someone who will tell you you're beautiful even when you feel your not
Someone you can share food with and not get grossed out
Someone who will just hold you and not say anything
Someone that will press the snooze button in the morning just so you can cuddle longer
Someone that brings you home surprises
Someone that you know would do anything for you
Someone that loves you just as much as you love them
AND
Someone you know will always be there for you, side by side, hand in hand FOREVER
I am so glad I married my best friend
