Happy Birthday Michael

Yesterday was Michael's 25th birthday! It might have not seemed like it because the day was the worst day ever but it was. The started out by going to lunch at Applebees which was a blast but the day got horrible after. Michael had to leave for work by 2:00pm which we were running late from lunch and stopping at the store for milk.
Then I had to leave for work around 3:00pm because I need to go to the store for some supplies for craft I wanted to do with the kids! Work went great!! After work I decided to go to the craft store to get some items for Christmas gifts I was making for friends and family. Once leaving the store my van wouldn't start. With my not knowing anyone that could help out; I freaked out. I called Michael's work for over 30 minutes. I had to call all the way back to Portland to get help. Thanks goodness Chris could get ahold of Will or I would have been freezing like crazy!! The van finally start when we went to work on it today but we drove it straight home and have not worked on it since!
Today was a better day!!

Counting down to Christmas

This Christmas will be our first Christmas as a married couple! It is kind of exciting but not at the same time. This will be our first Christmas that my parents will be divorced. It is kind of hard but we are getting through it and hopefully Christmas will go smoothly.

We are not doing anything big for Christmas. Just want to be with family and friends is enough for us! Trying to get everyone something small and meaningful but not going over board. With the wedding being only 2.5 months earlier than Christmas it put a hinder on our Christmas shopping. Usually we have a lot of our shopping completed before December! Now we are just doing most of it but we are doing a pretty good job and staying under budget!

Look forward to see how things go!
