Christmas is Coming!

Well we had a great Thanksgiving this year. And black friday too. We had a nice dinner with some family and watched super 8 and just hung out. It was a nice day off I must say. Dinner was good. We are all kinda noobs at cooking thanksgiving dinner. It is definitely a learning process and we have a few things to "perfect" next year. The movie was good--well the parts I saw, not like I fell asleep or anything...ha. Typical me. My Mom always used to ask me if I was watching tv with my eyes closed and I'd wake up and say, "Uh...no." Black Friday was quite eventful. We went to target--45 minutes away--and the line was wrapped around the whole building almost! We were pretty surprised. It wasn't that bad last year in sacramento...there was even a "beat bus" in the front of the store playing some music that kept the crowd pretty happy until the police made it leave. Dang. It was pretty cool. We got inside and it was ok, busy-but not madness, security did a great job with the control. We got all of our christmas stuff! Tree, ornaments, etc. so I was pretty happy. Then. We both got sick. Lame, but oh well. 

So we finally set up our tree! I am so excited for our first christmas together! Hopefully we can take some pictures and send some holiday cards soon. It is on my mind...

There's a few christmas-y pictures. My mom sent me her tripod in the mail, so I am very happy to have it. I am going to try to take our christmas card pictures with it. So we'll see...

Aren't these the cutest pillows ever?! I just love them. My wonderful Grandma Adam made them for us. She came and visited a while ago, and she thought she would make us some pillows for our living room couches to match our decor...well it doesn't help much when you change the colors. Whoops! When I opened the package I was so happy, and then I instantly thought, Crap...What can I do to fix this...haha! So I think I am going to make our guest room these colors. Problem solved. Sorry Grandma...apparently I shouldn't change my colors every week. I love them so much though! And Grandma. If you really want to, you can make us some green/cream/black ones. :) ha I have extra fabric if you happen to want a sample. Love you! 

Sunsets and Ducks.

Our sink is now unclogged! YES. It is so good to be able to rinse off a plate without the sink filling up :) Also, our oven should be fixed now...we had a few horrific experiences with it...no joke. Ew. Fingers crossed! I drank a whole gallon of Sunny D by myself this past week. I don't know if that's a good thing? Oh well. David has the milk, I have the Sunny D. It just works. Um. What else...nothing much. The only thing I took pictures of was our adventure to this little stop along the side of the road on Sunday afternoon. 

This little ducky was such a cute model :) My favorite one. They all came running to us when we walked out there but then they left because we didn't have bread. Next time we will!

The sunset was super pretty! I was having some problems with my camera...like my tripod is broken I found out. Bummer. And David somehow disconnected my lens...that was sketchy! Thankfully I caught it in my hand instead of the ground! Poor boy didn't want to touch the camera after that hah 

He's a cutie.

I am so thankful for nature and its beauty. I also love the snow--its so pretty.

Can't wait for thanksgiving next week and family get-togethers.

Oh..black friday too! :)

SNOW

Well it finally snowed! It was pretty funny actually, I was talking on the phone with my mom, and she asked if it had snowed yet? I said no. Well about 45 minutes later, I got off the phone and checked my missed texts from David saying it was snowing! So I had to call my mom back and let her know that it had indeed snowed. :) So then of course I took a picture or two.

I love the snow right now. It is so pretty. I wake up every morning looking out the window to see if it snows. David informed me that it will not snow every night. Dang. 

But, it is freeeeeezing outside. I did go running the other night and I forgot gloves. So that was painful. Took me a good while to defrost when I got home.

David and I also played racquetball again. We try to do it like once a week and we go with some friends that he works with. Well this past weeks trip wasn't so fun for him. He got smacked in the face with my racket. It really was a complete accident...poor guy... He says he still loves me.

The past week really wasn't too eventful for us. Just working and living. I use my heated blanket everyday. Probably the best money we've ever spent. ;) I also am contemplating on cutting my hair again. Even shorter...but I don't know yet. We'll see. Oh. I got bored so I took some pictures again.

There's some random pictures for you. I was driving around to find something to take pictures of and all that stacked wood caught my eye, so I stopped and walked around the area a little bit. :) D & B
