Merry Christmas!

One of these days I am going to get a better camera because this camera does a very poor job, but it has lasted me since I was like twelve. I think Jeremy is really liking Pennsylvania despite the horrible weather we have had. No snow just rain. Although it is on the agenda for tomorrow to see some snow in the sky. I don't know about on the ground though... but today we went running at twin lakes on the muddy muddy trails and Jeremy loved it, when the train came by when we were in the woods he claimed it was just like the movies. Jeremy loves everything that involves getting muddy and climbing through the woods I am sure. We also played many games of volleyball up at the church and I am sure we are going to do that again tomorrow cause it was a hit. Last week we went to Overly's with my two best friends from high school and their boyfriends on a triple date. They're still awesome. Oh and it looks like its snowing in the picture.. nope. rain. 

 Christmas eve we introduced Jeremy to Luminieres and reice crem (no idea how to spell either of those). Reice crem is what we eat for dessert every Christmas eve it is like a creamy rice pudding kind of... then rasperry/strawberry stuff on top. Who ever gets the almond in their bowl gets some luck and that was me so this is gonna be a good year. =) Here's Johannes helping to set the luminieres up along the road. We cut holes in the milk cartons and put sand and a candle inside it looks cool because everybody does it so on Christmas eve the roads are lit up by little candles in milk cartons.

 And this is right before Ryan pushes us all over.
 Christmas morning we had our eggs benedict and then went to church after church we of course needed a weird family picture. Kevin is thrilled =)
 Johannes handed out jelly beans to everybody as his Christmas present to us. It was very hard for him because jelly beans are his favorite.
 This was suuuper funny. Hans and Amy got Johannes an elmo shirt for Christmas and then Amy got an Oscar one, and Hans got cookie monster. As soon as they all put them on Johannes freaked out and told them to take them off cause he wanted to wear them. He thought sesame street shirts should be his presents and didn't understand why mom and dad wanted them.

 They make a ridiculously cute family.
 bocce ball time!

 Johannes kept wanting to pick up and move the white ball so I took him to play on the swing and with chalk so they could keep playing. I loove this kid.

And that was Christmas! I didn't take pictures of a lot because I was too busy being all up in everything! Hope everybody's Christmas was awesome =) And by everybody I mean my mom and mom in law because they are the ones reading this =)

THIS IS EXCITING

We are in PENNSYLVANIA! Kevin is flying in today, and Ryan, Lacey and Kathy are coming on Thursday. This past weekend we decorated the Christmas tree! Jeremy told my mom he couldn't remember decorating a Christmas tree so she handed the lights to him and said better do this one then! =)

Johannes is the cutest, and he gets way too much attention being the only grandchild. He didn't do the best job helping jeremy, whatever jeremy would put on, he would take off. He caught on eventually. 



After the lights it was time for the ornaments, Jeremy found Texas.
Here is a very posed picture of Caitlin putting on an ornament. 


 My two favorite boys. 
 Here's the finished tree minus the skirt, I got too anxious to take the picture i guess.
Of course the last pictures are sideways =)
We had some snow the first day we were here and we made a very sad snowman with the neighbors but Johannes coming from California thought it was the greatest thing. It's way fun to be home and I am pretty excited for the rest of them to get here.

A 10 on the pretty scale

As we are approaching finals week Jeremy is starting to set up a house of books for his face to be in. Me on the other hand only have one final to take this week because pretty much the El Ed program ends a week early and I took two finals last week, and turned in all my final projects. I AM BEYOND EXCITED TO GO TO PENNSYLVANIA ON SATURDAY. It seems like it has been a while since everybody has been there and I cannot wait to show Jeremy Pennsylvania. So next week I will be showing Jeremy my old house and today I am going to show you our new house. We live in Wymount so it is not the prettiest place with our cinder block walls so I am just going to show you the pretty parts. and I love living here. Who wouldn't love living with their best friend.
This picture is from Chelsea and next to it we have our cake topper. I am going to have to give this a 10 on the pretty scale.

My other awesome friend Liv made us this. I give this a 9 on the pretty scale. These are pictures from when we were dating she stole off my laptop =)

  We don't have a Christmas tree but thanks to Mrs. Medic my neighbor in Pennsylvania/second mom growing up, we have something Christmas =) We're gonna give this a 7 on the pretty scale.
the elephants we got in Mexico! pretty scale: 6.599   =) =) 


This my mom made this definitely a 10 on the pretty scale. If I was a better blogger that probably would not be turned on its side. 

This also! Like why on its side? Anyways this is the highlight of the house. 10 on the pretty scale. I love this outfit because this is him getting ready to go running with me and Caitlin and we were running to my old house to go with 2 of my old roommates. He thought he would never warm up because we would be going too slow... we showed him =) 

Nothing too exciting but I promised I would post so i will post!

Being a good wife, daughter, and in law

I couldn’t possibly be a good Mormon wife if I did not start a blog right after I got married =) Plus I got a mom in Pennsylvania and Texas and I need to be a good daughter. Especially with Jeremy’s whole family having the cutest blogs ever. So for the sake of me being a good wife, daughter, and in-law, I am now going to write on here. Also it’s fun because I just got married and am the happiest girl in the world. I won’t get the pictures back from the photographer for a while so the only picture you get for now is the one off my facebook that my best friend Chelsea took.

The day was perfect. I did not even mind the cold wind everything was awesome. I wish I could thank everybody a million times, might as well start now, thank you!! Pictures will come eventually.

But I will tell you about our trip!
The ten hour drive consisted of me singing for the first half and sleeping for the second half. Jeremy’s such a trooper. California was supah fun, check out this model I saw on the beach. 



The cruise was definitely a new experience for me and Jeremy. The first night we had to talk ourselves into getting up and getting food because we were struggling with the whole the boat moves concept. I got used to it though, Jeremy had a harder time. 
It was so pretty though!

The second day we woke up in Mexico!

 Everything has been awesome. 
I love him I love him I love him.
