in atlanta

life couldn't be better!

to atlanta i go!

where is emmy when i need her? 

i'm so excited i can't even pack.  and chris won't do it for me. 

so back to the beginning.  emmy, where are you?!?!

big sur

chris and i had a fun weekend. 

friday night we went over to dave and kolana's for a movie night and watched ironman and i ate about six bags of popcorn.

sunday, i enjoyed a nice post-church nap and then chris and i went to the oakland temple for a spectacular piano/orchestra concert.  more on that later.

saturday we went hiking (7.5 miles actually, can you believe it?  didn't think so.) all day in big sur.  it was beautiful.  as usual, i am too lazy to weed through pictures and pick out the good ones.  so, if you'd like to see every single picture we took on saturday (157 to be exact) then you can click here to look at my facebook album.  maybe i'll add commentary later. 

not that likely though seeing as how we're leaving tomorrow night on the redeye to atlanta!!!  yeay!!!  i could not be any more excited.  cross your fingers that i last until then!

not quite sure

i think chris disappeared and was replaced by an angel.

or maybe i died and went to heaven and this is just what husbands are like in heaven.

oh my goodness.  life just doesn't get any better than this.

so, sorry for my infrequent blogging...  i know it's perpetual...

but this time it's because i'm just busy enjoying bliss.

thanks for calling

this post is for liza.

good talking to you.

can't wait to see you over christmas.

my workday today was so bad... i don't think i could have made it without your phonecall!

love you.

christmas came early!!!

life is good.

christopher gave me my christmas present early this year and boy was it a good one!  he sure outdid himself!

this is what christopher brought me for christmas this year...

he was so excited all day long to go "pick up" my christmas gift and give it to me.  at first i wondered why he wanted me to open it so early.  but then when he brought in two huge packing boxes i realized it just must be so big that he can't conceal it from me at all.  anyways.  he brought little boxes in one by one and dumped them all over me, the sofa, the coffee table, and the floor!  i was so overwhelmed i may or may not have cried.  come now, don't we all get a little extra emotional during the holidays?  plus, christmas music was playing in the background. 

ps- i know i said in my birthday post that my two buildings were my soon to be HUGE christmas village but i meant like soon as in the next ten years.  this really was 100% a complete surprise!

so then he helped me take them all out of their boxes so i could see them each individually.  they are so beautiful and old timey.  they're from the dept 56 charles dickens set so they're all from that time period and include scrooge's house and tiny tim's house.  yes, i know i'm weird and this is not a normal obsession for someone in their mid-twenties.

now here are just a million pictures i took when we set it up last night.  it was magical.

so there you have it.  my life is complete.

to emmy

not to pull a liza on you but...

when you get a chance, will you find me a cute christmas blog background? 

maybe something to do with snowflakes or christmas ornaments or something? 

love you

***nevermind.  i got it.  the problem was with internet explorer.  i switched to mozilla and now i'm trying on new backgrounds for size!***

man, life sure got busy!

and that's all i got time to say right now!

be back later!
