Ready For New...

So unfortunately I  don't have any pics to put up with this post. However, it has been a very busy month. At the beginning of the month we were trying to figure out what was wrong with Matt, so he had a lot of medical tests going on. It turns out he has Hashimoto's Disease. Luckily all he needs is Synthroid medication for that. :) Then about a week and a half later my mom goes in the hospital... She had a mini stroke. She was in there for about 5-6 days. Thankfully all that was effected was her speech. She is working at it everyday and gets better with it everyday. I am just so glad that it wasn't anything more serious. A few days after that was Christmas and we spent that with our awesome friends David and Dawn! It was a great day. We brought Sarah over and she played with their new puppy Coal (black lab, pics later). We ate awesome food and played Scattergories and Taboo. It was very fun. I did miss being with family and it didn't really feel like Christmas Day but I can't complain. The day after Matt and I didn't do much. Just some running around and then stayed home and cleaned up a bit because Matt's brother Mike came here on Monday. So we've just been hanging out with him and having fun. It's so nice to see family. I'm looking forward to a couple weeks from now when Joe and Donna come. I love them so much and I'm thrilled that they will be here for 3 whole days!!!

Well tomorrow starts the New Year and I'm excited for it to be here. I'm not sure how it can top 2008, but we'll see. Every day that I spend with my awesome husband is a great one. So bring on more days for us to spend together!! I hope every one's had a great year and I hope the new one brings even more joy and love and happiness. Stay healthy and have fun. 

Happy New Year,

Oh, Christmas Time!

So, the day after Thanksgiving Matt and I went to Wally-World and got our pre-lit tree, candy canes  and a star. We put it up that day with only the star and candy canes. About a week later I was able to go back and get some ornaments and stockings. So, last Saturday we put our names on each stocking and the ornaments on the tree and now it looks absolutely beautiful! I am so grateful for Matt's school loan b/c without them we probably would never have been able to afford this. :)

This is the beautiful tree all lit up.

The tree lit with the stockings :)
