Merry Christmas everyone! Justin and I had a great Christmas together. It was our first Christmas being married! We spent time with my family because his parents were visiting his sister and her family. We enjoyed spending time with them. Justin got to experience some of my favorite traditions that my family has this time of year like going to Grandma's house for waffles, and then visiting my other Grandma and spending time with my cousins and seeing what my Grandma made this year for the grand kids :) Last but not least favorite tradition on Christmas is eating ham and funeral potatoes for dinner! Yum! Christmas Eve we always go out to dinner so that was a lot of fun. I hope to keep some of these traditions while including Justin's family traditions which I have yet to really experience. Next year is the year for his family traditions. We loved what we got for Christmas. We only opened one gift on Christmas and that was from my Grandma everything else was opened early but that's alright we enjoyed the moments that we opened them in. We were surrounded by family when we opened them and enjoyed the company.
In other news... today must have been the longest day for me. Leaving work early on Christmas Eve and having Christmas off just messed with my work schedule. Left work at 3 on Wednesday, had Thursday off then having to work until 6 on Friday is not a good mix especially after shoveling a foot and a half of snow on Thursday and having an aching back. (We really need to get Justin's parents some new snow shovels (: the metal one isn't working out that well :P )
Justin and I found out that my uncle knows a game that I only thought his family knew. It was funny 'cause when we were at my Grandma's for breakfast he brought in the game board and I was like I know that game. It was crazy. So we ended up showing him our game board because his was huge and we played a few games. It was awesome! We will have to get together some more and play it!

New Car
Just to let you all know Justin and I bought a new car on Saturday. It was our first time really buying a car ourselves from a dealership. We needed a car to replace Justin's old car. We have been looking for a long time checking out online and visiting dealerships and we finally found one that we both like. Its one of Justin's dream cars (he has a few that he knows he will never get). It would be a 2008 Scion TC! No it isn't one of the box looking cars, it is a sports car. It's dark blue with black interior. It has a sun roof, moon roof and a spoiler. We were excited to do this by ourselves! Hopefully there are more purchases to come (that is after we save up our money again!). I will try to post pictures. I'm not the best at posting them.

Catch Up
Wow its been a while since I've posted last. Well a lot has happened, hopefully I can remember it all. Justin had his band concert that went well. He said it wasn't the best they've done but they had a lot of fun and thats all that matters. We went out with a bunch of friends afterwards and ate dinner. We haven't done that in a very long time. It was nice to get out. Justin and I went to our friends Halloween party the week before Halloween and we dressed up as a 50's couple. It was funny seeing Justin with his hair slicked back and trying to roll up his pants. On Halloween at my work we the girls dressed up as Miss Universe (we couldn't do Miss America because we have people from around the world). I got to wear my prom dresses again which was a lot of fun. We made up things for the guys. One guy dressed up as a football player so he was our body guard. Another was the photographer/member of the audience. We also had a judge and a person for entertainment (he was a singer). Halloween night we stayed in though and worked on some homework and Justin played some PS3. Lets see here, We went to the Metallica concert the beginning of November. We had some fun there too. We met up with some friends there and enjoyed talking to them when we took them home.
I can't wait for school to be over! I'm enjoying my classes I just don't know how much longer I can stand them. My teachers seem to be repeating themselves. Justin I know feels the same way. He is ready to be done.
I am almost finished with my quilt that I started in the summer when we didn't have any school. I had it all tied by the time school had just started and I was waiting to do the binding. Me and my mother-in-law couldn't get the binding right so I took it to my Grandma and she figured it out. Our fabric was bunching because we were using too small of stitches. Because I'm not the best at bindings my mother-in-law is finishing the hand stitching for me. I'm so thankful she is doing that!
I think thats all I had to post to catch up on our lives.

Moving
I guess its a big trend going on or something :) Anyways Justin and I have decided to move back in with his parents to save a little more money to buy a house :) :) :) We decided this right before Justin had his accident and we already paid out our lease so we will be moving this Friday and Saturday. I'm taking some time off work on Thursday to pack and Justin is taking off from work at 12 to start moving us. Saturday we will finish moving. If any one would like to help that would be great! Its not a lot but we have some heavy furniture that we need to get out and then get the cleaning done (which hopefully shouldn't be a lot because we have only been here for 6 months). I just thought I would let the family know. If you some how have our apartment address it is no longer valid! (I don't think anyone has it but just a thought). Please send any mail to the address listed on the family tree that is if its not the apartment address. If not you can either contact my parents or you can just send the mail to my parents house. Thanks everyone!

Eventful Weekend
So this weekend was pretty eventful for us. I had decided to go to a girls night with some of my old coworkers and we were just hanging out when I get a call from my brother. Justin was just in a car accident. Apparently the other car had been racing through a neighborhood and had thrown a beer bottle out the window outside a witnesses house who just happened to be still outside. He has kids and he didn't want anyone racing through the neighborhood like that so he got in his car and was following them so he could get their license plate number and report it to the police. The car stopped in front of a house that was having a party and then sped off again and he followed and was slowing down to go to his house when he saw the car break like four houses from the street where the accident happened. The car couldn't slow down and they ran the stop sign and Justin hit their car. The cops were there really fast because the witness was on the phone with them. We were lucky no one was seriously injured and you can tell by the pictures how fortunate we were. I didn't get there until everyone was done writing their police reports but I did see the kids from the other car get arrested. Their ages were 16, 17 and 18 and the 16 year old was driving while all of them we suspect were under the influence. So right now Justin and I are making it with one car. I don't know how long we will survive but we are going to try. Oh the accident happened at like 10:30 p.m. and we didn't end up getting home until 1:30 a.m. after we took Justin's passengers home and called the insurance company and talked to his parents and my parents.
On Saturday we went to BASH and had fun listening to a lot of different bands. We got sunburnt but it was still worth it. We've gone for the past three years and have loved everyone of the concerts. This time it was at the Usana Ampitheatre and there were I think ten bands who played. We loved Mindlessselfindulgence, 10 years, Atreyu, Ludo. There were some others but I can't think of them right off hand.
There was our eventful weekend. I was talking to my mom and my sisters and we realized this is our second car we have had totaled in the six months we have been married. My Camry was totaled in May and now Justin's was totaled (or so we think) Friday night.

6 Month Anniversary
It was our six month anniversary on Monday. We didn't do anything special for it because we both have school on Monday nights until late. We did go on a double date on Friday night though with our friend Danielle and one of her friends from school. We had a lot of fun. We went bowling and stayed up late playing poker (not for money we like to play for fun with chips) and talking. Justin and I didn't end up going to bed until 1:30 am which didn't help me because I had work on Saturday. Anyways random tangent. I figured because it is our six month anniversary I decided to post some pictures from our wedding because I never did that and I don't think any of you got to see it so here they are. I hope you enjoy.
Thank you to everyone who came and everyone who supported us. We love you all and it means a lot to us.

Labor Day Weekend
Our Labor Day Weekend wasn't too packed with things but we still had some fun. Let me tell ya what we did. (sorry its more pictures than writing)
Saturday Justin's band had a little concert at a park with Kids and Kudos. They did really good. It was fun to see a lot of people we haven't seen in a very long time.
That was the extent of our Saturday.
Sunday we went to Justin's parents house and hung out over there with his parents and his sister and her family. We had a lot of fun talking and playing games. We also enjoyed playing in the rain.
Branson really enjoyed playing with Grandma helping her make popcorn and playing in his "bedroom".
That was Sunday.
Monday Justin and I went over to his parents house for breakfast and then we did our own thing which included getting both of us a hair cut :D Justin really needed one and I wanted one :D We visited some more with his family and we went out to dinner with my family to Training Table (Yum :D)
Here are some pictures that we enjoyed taking but I didn't know where to put them.
