2010.

So this year I made this cute christmas card on my photoshop and was going to write a letter to tell everyone about what has happened this year for us, but instead (to save money) I will just be posting it on my blog, So enjoy the listers first christmas card!

This year Jeff and I were married! We started out our married life together in Ephraim,Utah. Jeff was working full time as a foreman at Timberhawk building systems and McKenna was going to Snow College Full time.

Things were going perfect until one day Timberhawk announced that they were shutting down the company and closing their doors and that everyone was being laid off.

It came as a big shock to us but in the end turned out to be a blessing.

After a lot of fasting and praying we decided that we needed to be in Cedar City, in two weeks we had taken a trip down to cedar, found an apartment, packed up our whole apartment and were on our way to starting our new adventure!

When we got to our new town Jeff enrolled at Southern Utah University and McKenna Enrolled at Evan's Hairstyling College.

We spend most of our time going to school and in the free time hanging out at home and watching netflix! We have been very tight on money but it's all part of the learning experience right? lol it has also been a good learning experience for me, This year I have become a lot of crafty to save money, and I also started my own little photography business to help us bring in a little extra dough, which has turned out to be a wonderful learning experience!

[Sorry for not having very exciting news but until school is over I don't think we are going to have anything very excited to tell you about]

Jeff is planning on graduating in December 2011 as long as all of his credits transfer right, and McKenna will be finishing hair school in October 2011.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!

happy christmas world

Our First christmas together! It was really weird to not have christmas with my family but it was fun to have it with my best friend and start our own new traditions!

{CHRISTMAS EVE}

We decided to open our stocking on christmas eve, because I was excited to give my little stocking stuffer gifts to Jeff and I couldn't wait another day. lol

A cute little old lady made these stockings for us as wedding gifts, and they are beautiful!!

Every year for as long as I can remember my parents always let us open one gift on christmas eve night, and it was always sleepers. So Jeff and I have decied to carry on the traditon to our family!





My favorite colors!

{CHRISTMAS MORNING}

christmas time.

So this has to be my most favorite time of the year! For sure!! I love everything about Christmas, well everything but the snow! (I am fine with it as long as I don't have to leave the house... but other than sitting inside with a big blanket and hot cocoa I'm not a fan.)

So Lucky for us, this year Mr. wonderful and I got to borrow some Christmas tree's from my family. We thought about buying one, but we didn't wanna spend our little bit of money on a real tree and we don't have any space to save a fake one, so it was a blessing that my mom left her little tree's in West Jordan :)

I could hardly wait to go up to salt lake and get them, and the minute we got all of our stuff from the the weekend into the house I made Jeff start setting them up!!

[growing up I remember my dad making us lay under the christmas tree looking up at all the lights with him, I have always loved doing this so I made Jeff get down on the floor and look at all the lights with me :)]

[This is a really random picture but I wanted to show off the wrapping paper found, I looked forever to find exactly the style I wanted and I was very happy when I found these :)]

[And now...my favortie part! My family made these little ginger bread men for family night last year and so I decided to bring them home with me so I could have my family here with me for christmas!]
