Before I left for work this morning I left this setup on our bed. Eric and I call our Build-a-Bears our kids all the time as a joke... so I posed them like this and wrote "Dad, Mom said we could play on the bed!!"
When I got home that night I found Honey and Douglas in the corner with a note that said, "Well I'm home now and you're grounded."
Today we went Bridesmaid dress shopping! We found the dresses Macy loved at the first store we went to. Macy continues to be the one-stop-shopping bride. It was fun to try on a bunch of pretty dresses and to laugh with my mom and Macy. I think the girl who was helping us probably thought we were pretty weird... but then... we are. :)
Quick, take a picture!! It looks like winter outside for a minute!! If you're not in Utah, you may as well be... we haven't really had a winter this year. Every once in a while it snows... but then it's gone within a day or so. Eric is always wonderful to shovel the driveway. On this particular occasion it turned into a little snowball fight in which nearly all of my snowballs flew past Eric and I got clobbered. It was only a little snowball fight because I finally retreated inside the hosue. :) I love my husband.
We went on a triple date this evening with Brad & Macy and 2 of Brad's friends in West Valley. We all went out to dinner together at Zupas, and then had a pretty hilarious time playing Cranium back at their apartment. It was fun to get to know some new friend and to spend time with Brad and Macy!
On Tuesdays and Thursdays, Eric gets up around 5:30 and goes to play basketball with his old ward. Today he got slammed into the wall by accident and injured himself. Ouch.
This is coming in the front door. Bedroom on the right, living room on the left.
Our lovely living room!
The other side of the living room, with the open door leading to the kitchen.
Our bedroom. Not much fits in there other than the bed. Lol. But we managed to fit a dresser and 2 endtables in there as well.
Kitchen!
The very small bathroom. If one of us is in there, it's pretty tricky to get the other one of us in there in the morning when we're both trying to get ready. Haha. If Eric is at the sink, I can open the door just enough to get my makeup out of the tupperware drawers. This is why I get ready at the kitchen sink. Haha! That's our home!
Tonight was our annual FotoFly Christmas party. I have such amazing co-workers. I really am lucky to work in such a great atmosphere with such fabulous people. I had fun celebrating with them tonight... although everyone was pretty bummed that Eric couldn't make it because of work.
I made this fancy little guy for Eric for breakfast this morning. That's love. It reminds me of the Brave Little Toaster for some reason. Haha
Haha this picture always makes me laugh. Santa gave us all gifts. You can see that I got a nice little candle but bad Eric and Kyle got bags of coal. Haha. I think my favorite part is that Eric looks sad that he got caught being bad... while Kyle looks like he's reveling in the fact that he was naughty. Haha
Lots of excitement this Christmas Eve! My little Macy is ENGAGED!!! Who can believe it?! Her now-fiancee Brad came to our house to surprise her on the night before Christmas. (She was under the impression that he was in Arizona for Christmas with his family) He showed up to our house very well disguised as Santa, pulled out a special package for Macy, and then got down on one knee and tore off the beard and hat when she found she had opened a ring box. He asked her to marry him and it was BEAUTIFUL and she said YES and they're getting MARRIED! April 27th!
This week Eric and I have been staying with the Hammonds because Eric is taking a CNA course in Sandy and I continue to work full-time... so it just made sense to be closer so that we didn't both have to commute so far. It has admittedly been a long week. Eric and I have hardly seen each other because I've had all evening shifts while his classes are all in the morning and afternoon. So we're seeing each other for about 20 minutes each day, and then we go to bed. :( But I'm so grateful I get to be with him for even a short amount of time every day.
Today my Dad and I went shopping for ice skates. There's a big Hammond ice skating party coming up, so we went on a quest for lots of pairs of used ice skates.
