Snow!

We finally got our first snowfall of the year yesterday and today. I love the snow. Seriously. However, our car is broken, and since we still don't have the money to fix it, I can't drive to school at all. So, today as I was walking to class, I crossed the road because the sidewalk on the other side looked a lot clearer than the one I was currently trudging along. As I got to the other side, and in an effort to get out of the way of cars, I tried to jump over the pile of snow that was there from the plow machine thing. Anyway, I failed miserably. I sunk knee deep into the snow, lost my balance, fell forward, and had to crawl out before I could stand up again. It was pretty embarrassing, but mostly hilarious. I laughed at myself and then another girl did the same thing right after I did, so I helped her out. All in all, a pretty awesome morning. haha.


Side note: Isn't he the best? I just love him and this is only 1 of the million reasons why.

'Tis the Season

So, our Thanksgiving Break was great. We were able to go down to Wichita and spend it with my parents, Lianne and Derek. Unfortunately, everyone forgot to take pictures. On Thursday we had our gorgeous and delicious meal, were comatose for a while, and then went to see New Moon, which was worth seeing because of Dan's reaction. My mom and I went shopping on Friday and had a blast and spent WAY too much money. Then, on Saturday we all went to the Temple in Oklahoma City. I think that was my favorite part. I haven't been able to go with my mom since my wedding day, so that was a blessing. It was vitally important that Dan be back at the house by 4pm so he could watch the BYU vs. Utah game, so we were. Such a weirdo. He was ecstatic that they won, and all was right in the Christensen's home. And, that was our Thanksgiving! I couldn't be more thankful for my family, my amazing husband, our life together, and most especially Joey, Pippin, and Izzy (Joey is my parent's dog, Izzy and Pippin are Lianne and Derek's dogs).

Dan had a great birthday. Just look at him. Cute boy. Unfortunately, that whole week was insane with school and what not, but we still managed to celebrate a little.






We have started putting up our Christmas decorations! Great huh? I thought so, and we are really proud of our tree. We picked it out, cut it down, and put lights on it, all on our own. ;)
