Trip to Home Depot

Nine.

Some of my favorite memories from 9 years ago today:
*Having to take a cold shower because Tracy took all the hot water, trying to shave my legs with goosebumps...
*Eric eating a couple of jalapeno corn dogs from 7-11 for breakfast on the way to the Temple
*Making it through the entire ceremony without shedding any tears until the very end when Sealer spoke about our future children.
*Jared being in EVERY single one of our wedding pictures
*Honeymooing in Vegas (Just like Elvis)


Some of my favorite moments today:
*Getting my carpet cleaned
*Getting roses
*Watching Nate having a blast at Karate
*Not having to cook dinner
*Grocery shopping with my favorite guy

One.

Seems impossible an entire year has already come and gone.
Ellie is 1!!!!

Christmas tree....oh Christmas tree

You know, I was a little worried about putting up the tree with Ellie being "into" everything and all, but surprisingly she never touches it. No, Ellie did not do this. Nor did Nathan who painstakingly hung each ornament out of Ellie's reach. And in case you are wondering... this was not my doing either...nope, this was all Eric. Eric has always hated this tree, I think he is secretly trying destroy this tree a little each year until they come out with some kind of amazing tree that just pops out of a box and is already lit and decorated, then he will finally finish this tree off. Until then I will continue to buy replacement parts for this tree. Did I mention I LOVE this tree? Its so big and full and easy to put together and it was the tree we had when I was growing up until my parents gave it to Eric and I, so it was also free. Everyone who comes over thinks its real. They just don't make trees like this anymore. So when my new tree stand gets here, I will have her up and decorated... again. Nice try Eric, but you ain't getting rid of her so easily this year!
