Hope y'all had an awesome christmas!!

Our Christmas was great!! It is usually hard to be away from those we love as it was this year also but this year was really really nice. Being just the two of us was kind of nice:) Eric worked a part day on Christmas Eve and then we went up to Aspen. We walked around and seen all the Christmas decor and celebrities in town for the holiday:) Kind of fun to see them just out shopping. But the poor people had to deal with all the rude paparazzi. But still fun to see them out in an everyday setting. Then it got dark and my parents had sent us $50.00 to do something fun for Christmas so we took a carriage ride around aspen to look at all the Christmas lights. It was so romantic and wonderful. An AWESOME memory for this Christmas Eve!!! I will never forget that:)

Christmas we spent most of the day cooking the turkey and then the rest of the meal. We played some games and then shared dinner with an old neighbor that stopped in to say merry Christmas. He didn't have anywhere he was going and he is alone so it was nice to have him stay for a Christmas dinner and of course to watch the yearly movie "A Christmas Story":) Just a perfect Colorado Christmas:)

Tomorrow Eric will have his surgery so I am just taking a break to write this from cleaning the house and preparing for that. We will be taking it easy this New Years eve weekend since he will still be not 100%. May your new years eve weekend be amazing and may the New Year bring everyone many blessings and love and great memories!!!!

Our 2nd anniversary!!

So Monday was our 2nd wedding anniversary. I love that man more than anything and more everyday!!! We have a plan to visit a different state every anniversary. Well since we really couldn't afford to do much we did our Colorado one this year:) Guess good thing we moved to this state:) Sunday we got up early and drove up through Glenwood Springs to Carbondale and drove to Redstone, marble, and went on a dirt road to Crestted Butte and then around Gunnison, Montrose and back up to I-70 and home. It was an amazingly beautiful drive to take this time of year. All the brush and aspens are changing colors and it just made it stunning. We stopped at a few of the little towns and just enjoyed the atmosphere and learned some history in marble, co. Which is where the marble for the Lincoln memorial and other federal landmarks came from. It was just nice to get away and enjoy each others company. We truly truly LOVE each other, but more than that we LIKE each other:) Now we are working on 3 years:) and have many, many, many more to go!!!! Thank you LORD for putting this man beside me in this life!!

I love aspens!!! They are just the prettiest when they change color and I love the sound as the leaves dry and clank together. So I took a TON of pics of them:)
