It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

We bought a Christmas tree! Since we aren't allowed to have a live tree in our apartment, we picked out a nice fake one. We learned that it isn't worth it to buy the cheapest tree. Tammy brought home a $39 tree and as soon as we opened it we knew why it was one of the least expensive trees at Target. Tammy was able to easily return it and pick out a tree that actually resembles a live tree. It was Nic's first Christmas in several years decorating a tree. We had a lot of fun.

Tammy cut her hair yesterday. Here are some pics.

Back in the day

These pictures of Nic were too cute not to post.

Nerds

Our ward had a halloween party last night and Nic and I went as ourselves....NERDS! haha. It was really fun to see just how nerdy we could look.

"Sew, a needle pulling thread"

Tammy's been keeping busy on her days off playing with her new sewing machine. She finished her first set of curtains a few days ago. Nic was thrilled to go out and buy a set of power tools so that he could install our curtain rod. The curtains really add warmth to our little Wymount apartment.

Study, study, study

Nic has been keeping really busy with school lately. He is currently taking Chemistry, Psychology, Biology, and College Algebra. Chemistry has proved to be the most time consuming class at this time. Tammy took the class six years ago, so it has definitely been a good review for her.

There isn't much else going on in Provo. Both our bikes became victims to some sharp stickers which left all tires flat. We just got around to replacing the tubes on the diamondback, which means more fun bike rides are to come!

Yellowstone, not Yosemite

Just to add a correction to our blog a few weeks back-
We were in Yellowstone, NOT Yosemite. For some reason my brain keeps wanting to call Yellowstone "Yosemite." Even after being corrected several times, I still tell people how much fun we just had at Yosemite (I haven't been to the real Yosemite for several years)

Birthday fun!

Since I'm scheduled to work on my birthday and the two days following my birthday, we decided to celebrate it a day early! MJ, Nic, and I had a delicious dinner consisting of BBQ steaks, mashed potatoes, salad, and garlic bread. It was great! I am so excited about my new sewing machine and sew kit! I'm definitely excited about my new hobby. Here of some pictures from our party.
