Rockin' around the Christmas tree!
Here's our tree in all of its glory
Our newest addition to our ornament collection. I love them!
Still love these cute guys too!
Wish I could get a better picture with it dark. It looks great.
I had to put this picture up. This is our cat Trouble. She wanted to pose by the tree. Right after I got done taking these pictures she decided to attack the tree and go after the ornaments. Go figure!
I know my blogging isn't the best tonight- I just basically wanted to throw some pictures up.
We finally got our bathrooms finished so I'll try to put up some pictures this week. They look great.
Here is our tree from last year- Oh Christmas Tree

Ugly Christmas Sweater Party
This weekend we decided to have an ugly Christmas sweater party for Philip's birthday and it was a complete success!
Here are some of the yummy snacks we had. Cupcakes, pretzels with chocolate, cookies, chips and dip, homemade salsa - the whole deal!
Some of our Christmas decorations we still don't have that many, but it's definitely an improvement from last year!
Our adorable Christmas tree!
Love my husband- and our sweaters totally rocked!
Tim & Philip
Me & Kierstin
CC & Me
Okay, I loved Kierstin's sweater! It was a stocking with all the goods! She's so creative!
Our good friend Ryan!
Me & Tim
Mary, Tootsie, and me
I really wanted to find an old Polaroid camera and snap everyone's pictures. There were so many fun and creative ugly sweaters. I didn't take enough pictures to really display the full "ugliness" of this party. Thanks to all of our friends for making Philip's party such a success! We love and appreciate all of you!
Happy 2-7 baby!
I have been SO horrible with pictures lately! Maybe that should be my resolution for next year? Anyway last week we celebrated Philip's 27th birthday! It's so crazy to think I met Philip when he was 20 years old!
Unfortunately we both had to work, but that didn't stop us from celebrating. After work we went out to eat at Rodizio Grill and it was delicious! Rodizio is one of our favorite places to eat. After we ran a a few errands we finished up our night getting cookies at this yummy place at the Gateway. Everyone should try it sometime. They are DELICIOUS! I loved seeing all the lights downtown too! Love Christmas time!
Hmm. We are so cute. I just can't get over it! Happy birthday to my best friend! I love you so much Philip and I can't wait to celebrate the rest of our birthdays together.
Better late than never...
One of our favorite games of the year is the blackout game! Of course we got all decked out for the event!

| Go Utes! |
Love the pictures with the black stadium! So awesome!
And of course it was a Utah win for the night. Love having season tickets!
After the Utah game we had to head straight to the Real game. Nothing better than two of our favorite things to do in one night. Plus I picked up my awesome new beanie with Swoop on it (Utah's mascot). Be jealous!
I'm really sad that both Real and Utah are over for now. With all this down time we run out of things to do. March is only a few months away right?

God Gave Me You
Blake Shelton is one of my favorite country artists. I absolutely love him. He has special meaning to me because one of his songs was played at my dad's funeral. One of his most recent songs is "God Gave Me You." Every time Philip and I hear it we can't help but think of each other. I love love love this song and I'm so glad that God gave me Philip!
"God Gave Me You"
I’ve been a walking heartache
I’ve made a mess of me
The person that I’ve been lately
Ain’t who I wanna be
But you stay here right beside me
And watch as the storm blows through
And I need you
Cause God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
And for when I think I lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it’s true
God gave me you
Gave me you
There’s more here than what we’re seeing
A divine conspiracy
That you, an angel lovely
Could somehow fall for me
You’ll always be love’s great martyr
And I’ll be the flattered fool
And I need you
God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
And for when I think I lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it’s true
God gave me you
On my own I’m only
Half of what I could be
I can’t do without you
We are stitched together
And what love has tethered
I pray we never undo
Cause God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
And for when I think I lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it’s true
God gave me you, gave me you.
He gave me you.

Lately..
Thanksgiving has come and gone. This year Philip's family all came into town and I think I have maybe 5 pictures. So I'll have to see if his family posts any that I can steal. It was a busy week, but it was so fun to see everyone. Wednesday was Dixie's birthday (Philip's mom) and we went down to Salt Lake to take family pictures and stayed the night so we could wake up early on Thanksgiving and run a 5k. I know a 5k what was I thinking? It definitely wasn't my cup of tea, but maybe if I was in shape I would've enjoyed it better. Philip had a really good time (like in how fast he ran haha) and got a ribbon for beating the Cottonwood Height's mayor in the race! Way to go Philip! Then later that day we had Thanksgiving with his family, then went to Roy and had it with mine, and then finished our night back in Salt Lake to hang out with his family before some of them left town. It was busy, but it was fun. I love holidays. Black Friday Philip had to work so we both missed the Utah game. Bummer (or maybe not since they lost to the worst team in the league)! I decided to go out later in the day to get some birthday shopping/Christmas shopping done. I think I got 90% of it done that day with some killer deals.
Now that Real's season is over and Utah's is practically over we haven't really been doing much. Just work and school. This week is final's week and I don't think we could be more ready to have a break. School has been so time consuming for us, but I think it's been good. I'm so proud of Philip for all the hard work that he has done this semester. After taking so many classes just to take them he is finally on track and should have his Associate's Degree next semester! Way to go Philip! I technically have my Associate's Degree this semester, but since I transferred to Weber I have to have 20 credits there to apply for it. So if all goes as planned Philip and I will both have them next semester. How cool will that be to walk together? I think that it would be awesome.
Other than school we've been doing a little bit of remodeling in our house. Nothing to fancy just fixing up our bathrooms up a bit and trying to get all of other rooms looking how we would like them to look. It's kind of hard to get everything 100% when there's only 2 people living in a 5 bedroom house, but there's definitely been some progress lately. When the bathrooms are up and finished I'll take some pictures and put them on here. The upstairs bathroom looks great! I absolutely love how our new vanity looks in it.
Tootsie, Trouble, and Bentley are still as spoiled as ever. We had Tootsie fixed at the beginning of November and it was seriously so hard on her. It broke my heart to see her like that and I think it broke Bentley's too. He was bummed out that she wanted nothing to do with him for a straight week. Ever since her swelling went down and her allergic reaction to shot she has been like a brand new puppy. She has sooo much energy and always wants to play. Trouble still has been bringing in mice or whatever else she can find outside. I swear she is the most obese cat ever and we definitely aren't over feeding her. It's all what she's finding outside. Crazy cat. Bentley is just Bentley. Now that Tootsie is feeling better he barely leaves her side unless he thinks he hears someone coming to our house then he'll go into guard dog mode.
That's all for now on our updates. This is long and boring and I'm sure most of you won't read it, but it's always nice to look back and see what was going on in our life, so I like to have these updates.
