hello christmas tree!

So after begging Ethan for a couple of weeks now he finally let me put up the Christmas tree! We were supposed to put it up after thanksgiving but I couldn't wait any longer! We only have a small one bedroom apartment so we got us a tiny Christmas tree for our living room. We cannot afford and have no where to put a regular sized one. But it sure did turn out cute! We love it. I love Christmas! I am so happy to be spending this Christmas at my parents house and to have all my brothers and sisters be there! I am getting to ahead of myself though....I am forgetting about Thanksgiving! I was so excited for thanksgiving this year....we were supposed to spend it with my in laws  but it turns out Ethan has to work on Thanksgiving :( So i will be here at home by myself until Ethan gets off at 6 :( Not how I pictured my Thanksgiving. But I am going to cook a wonderful meal for him for when he gets home. Here I am complaining about being alone...poor Ethan has to go and work. I am so spoiled. I am so thankful for such a hard working husband who supports us and takes care of me. I love him!

Last night Ethan and I went to a James Bond party!! It was so much fun! We had a blast. Everyone had to dress up and we all looked legit! Everyone was also given a new name and a short sentence on who they would be playing. Then we had secret missions to accomplish! It was a lot of fun and the party was a huge success! My name was Letti and I was a sassy model from the outskirts of Hale. I had so much fun with it. The best was everyone introducing themselves as their new characters and playing them really well. Ethan was Norman the Mormon from Utah! hahahahaha it was hilarious! It was a great date night for E and I!

Letti and Norman kinda hooked up......

Mesa

This last weekend was so fun!  Ethan and I headed down to Mesa to see Chelsie and Benson get sealed for time and all eternity! It was so great and it felt so good to be in the Mesa Temple again. I cant tell you how much I loved being in the temple and looking at my husband across the room and remembering the day we were sealed together forever. I also loved that I was able to sit next to my  mom and hold her hand through the whole ceremony...yes I still do that even though I am almost 21. She is my best friend. Love you Mom! After we got out of the temple my sister had to take Chelsie and Bensons pictures so we got to walk around and watch my nephew Benson. He is the most handsome little boy in the world. We love him so much! Benson absolutely loves his uncle Ethan!

Benson and Ethan

Can you tell we are sisters?HA!

Thursday night was a lot of fun too! After Chelsie and Bensons reception Brittany & Shea, Janae & Walker, and Ethan & I all went on a triple date! The plan was to go goofy golfing but when we got there they were closed so we decided to play arcade games instead. It was a bummer though  because we had to rush around and we only had twenty minutes to use ten dollars! Mine and Ethan's favorite game was the basketball game. We tied 2-2 but if we would have played one more round I totally would have won! Friday we had to head off but before we did Ethan and I did a little bit of Christmas shopping! Ok so have you heard of the store: Charming Charlies???? If you have never been there before I advise you to go! Its at San Tan Village Mall. Its three huge stores FILLED with jewelry, purses and other accessories and they are all color coded! Its AMAZING! Ethan made me leave the store and walk over to B&N so that he could buy me some jewelry for my stocking :) Ah I cannot wait to see what he got me! I love and hate surprises. Ethan says the lady at the counter told him he did a really good job at picking stuff out. I cant wait for the holidays! Wish they were here already and wish school was over with. Ethan and I definitely need a break!

Bachelorette!

This weekend was just what I needed! Lately I have been feeling like I have no friends. Don't get me wrong I love my husband and he is my best friend but a girl has to have her girlfriends. I am sick of Thatcher where everyone is mostly singe so Ethan and I have no couple friends. But this weekend was so great. I got to see my girlfriends!! It started off on Saturday morning Janae, Britt, and I went to chandler mall for some shopping. Not just any shopping...sexy shopping for Chelsie's bachelorette party! We went to Spencers, Victoria Secret and Fredricks of Hollywood. Man did we get some good stuff! Later we all met up at PF Changs and had a great dinner, except Chels who had a pile of broccoli and Brittany who ate scallops instead of chicken (its a long story). After a fun dinner of sexy talk, we went back to my parents place and opened presents! It was so much fun and I hope Chelsie had a blast. I cannot believe she is getting married next week!

Sadly, Chelsie had to leave with her sisters to see her fiance. We wish she could have been there but the best part of the night was talking to Britt and Janae (and my mom) about friendship, boys, husbands, relationships, and old memories. It was a night that I desperately needed! I miss my girls so much and I cant wait to move down to Mesa so that I can see them more often! I am so grateful to have such great best friends! I know we will always stay close no matter what. I love you girls! Cant wait for Chelsies wedding and for our triple date after her wedding dinner!
