Goodbye 2009, Hello 2010

Well we had a really busy year, a lot happened this year. I started the elementary education program at UTA at MCC (I will get my bachelor's through UTA but take the classes here at MCC), we got MARRIED, we bought a new house, I started a new job at Midway (which I love), Karson has had many cars (of course), but I also got a new car this year (just recently), well it's a 2004 but it's new to me and it is my 2nd car ever. I've had my Honda my parents gave me since I was 16. It has been a great car, but I was ready for something newer. I feel really blessed. I gave an awesome husband who I love dearly, I have a great family (immediate & extended) which I'm so close to, I have great friends, and I have a pretty awesome job. I love it there and I really like all the people I work with. Karson has been at his job about 2 years now and really enjoys it too, he is great friends with some of the guys he works with. I think we had a great year and God has truly blessed us. We are excited to spend all of 2010 together as a married couple. I'll leave you with some pictures from 2009.

Our First Christmas

I have been looking forward to the Christmas season for a while and it is so nice to be spending it with my husband this year. We put our first tree up this year, we actually got his parent's old tree they didn't want anymore. That saved us a lot of money. So, if you know me "it just had to match the house" so I went shopping and bought all new ornaments and mixed it with some silver ones I already had. I don't think Karson was too happy about that, but hey the tree looks nice and it will last for several years. The tree is silver, gold, and a green color. I saw it in a magazine and it is a lot of the colors we have in our house. We also put a smaller tree in the kitchen, that my aunt and uncle gave me one year, it has all kinds of pretty silver ornaments. I have two other really small trees, one has his ornaments I have given him over the past few years (in his office) and the other I have in the extra bedroom, with just left over red and gold ornaments. We hung our stockings on the entertainment center, since we have no fireplace, it looks good though. Our first present this year was a beautiful willow tree nativity set, my parents gave us. They have one and knew that I really wanted one to. So, all my finals are over and it's great to just be working. Only one more week of work and I will off until the first week of January, it's great working at a school. We are looking forward to spending time together with family and friends celebrating Jesus's birth and enjoying each other's company. We wish everyone a Merry Christmas and New Year filled with Christ's love. Karson's tree (It's mostly car ornaments)
