Greg's Birthday!!!!!!!

Greg turned the big 25!!!!! For his birthday I got him the first and second season of 30 Rock, which he claims is better than The Office. I don’t know if I agree with him but I do enjoy watching it with him and listening to him laugh really hard. It makes my day. So I have to give myself some credit, I had the hardest time getting the first season. I thought I would be a smart shopper and price around to see where I could get the best deal for both seasons. I found one store that was the cheapest for the first season and one that was cheaper for the second season. Let’s just say the smart shopper thing bit me in the butt. I bought the second season at the one store and then went to get the first season at the other store. By the time I got to the store, they were sold out. I spent the next four days searching for a store that was not sold out of the first season. I finally got the last copy reserved at Target!! Who knew that 30 Rock was that popular?
That evening went out to dinner with Greg’s family to celebrate his birthday. It was really fun. The night before, Greg and I had gone out to eat just the two of us so that we could celebrate together. Greg is amazing and I am so grateful to have him in my life. He is so special to me. I love Greg Reese!!!!!

Ps. Just ignore the Utah hoodie.

Christmas

Here is our beautiful Christmas Tree. Thanks to Greg’s mom we had a little bit of Christmas brought to our apartment. I love looking at it with the lights off. One of my favorite things about Christmas is the trees. It would not be Christmas without a tree. I have been so lucky this Christmas I have had the opportunity to help decorate multiple trees. My favorite one by far was Greg’s grandma’s tree. She has a tree with nothing but Lenox glass ornaments. It is so pretty and the best feature is that is spins so that you can see the whole tree. I love everything about Christmas. I have to say it is probably one of my favorite holidays. I love how everyone at Christmas is so happy. Even though I complain about it I do love the snow. Not so much the driving it but everything else is awesome. Growing up in Kansas my siblings and I always hoped and prayed for snow on Christmas. It was rare that we ever got enough snow that actually acumualted more than an inch. In Utah, however, they have the seasons right. There is the perfect amount of snow for Christmas. I am so thankful for the birth of our Savior and for the opportunity that we have been given to celebrate and honor his name!
