Wow, it's weird to realize that it's already been a year since we started the marriage process. Christmas came too fast this year, between getting gifts and having parties at our house and doing things with family I wish I was like my sisters and would of had it done already.
We went on a fun date down to City Creek and to temple square with our friends Carli and Dan.. We do a lot with them, they recently got married! We ate at kneaders, man they have great eclairs. (Those are my favorite) we went inside a few stores, I got some pants and socks at H&M that were on sale!
Kelly wasn't very helpful with gifts and what he wanted, we decided that we would do something in our house either paint the kitchen and living room or do something to the hot tub. A few days before Christmas I decided to do the kitchen. Kelly and me had priced it at Lowe's and Home Depot, it came out to be quite a chunk of change, we ended up getting a deal from Chris (Kelly's brother in law) he was finishing his basement, and has a friend at a lumber store we ended up getting crown moulding for our bedroom and base boards for the kitchen and living room for half of what it would of been at either store. The only downfall is we have to paint all of it now. We bought a couple samples to test for our kitchen and living room, still not so sure about ripping everything out and doing this overall but, I can't wait to get rid of the tan walls! Eventually we want to change our cabinets as well! Kelly told me in the summer it would be a while before we would do any more painting...I wonder what he will say after 2 rooms and a hallway is painted and installed new base boards?
Well, I bought Kelly a remote controlled helicopter and he plays with it all the time. My dad, Landon and Kelly got one as well. I got Kelly his favorite drink IBC Root Beer, and some chocolate and the new Batman movie. My mom got him some circus peanuts!
I got spoiled with a fruit ninja card game, candy from one of our favorite stores on our honeymoon in grand cayman called Its Sugar.. I also got a zebra/tiger dress from Victoria secret and yes it's modest and long sleeved.. It's actually too modest for them to sale! I also got some cool cards my sister Marci made me, my mom just gave me a bag full of early diabetes. Kelsey gave us a iTunes gift card which will be nice.
Kelly's parents gave us an early present a years worth of food storage, it's six months for each of us. The boxes came one day and Kelly wasn't home I ended up moving them by myself it was 600 lbs. it is really nice and came with a cookbook, they spent a lot of money on it. They had said we were just getting cash not just 1500 dollars of food storage. Kelly was bummed because he thought Christmas was cooler, but then he realized he would have never bought that cool of food storage ever!!!
We got some honey from my principal at work, he is a honeybee keeper, it's probably 4 lbs of straight honey! We also got a couple lbs of semi chocolate chips from his grandma. We were spoiled again. My dance girls got us candy and lotion and tons of pop. I think I got enough lotion and soap from bath and body works to last for a whole year.
All of Kelly's family went in on a iPad for his grandma. She was so cute when she opened it up and the first thing that happened was her great grandson Zane asked if he could play with it. Those kids love iPads! Probably because the school has so many and we can take them home with us. In fact I have one that I can take from the school! :)
It was a fun Christmas and we had a lot of places to go and were so spoiled by my parents, Kelly's parents and grandma, my grandparents and siblings.
It was an awesome first Christmas!
