Our First Christmas Tree

Yes this is our second Christmas together, but our first one we were living with Tiva's parents, so we didn't need to get one. Now we have our own place, it is time for our own tree. And look it already has presents under it. : )

Thanksgiving/Black Friday

Thanksgiving was great. Spending the morning and afternoon watching football with the boys, and then eating some delish food, and spending time with the Utah family, which is always a great time. To end up the day, while watching the last football game, we looked through Black Friday deals.

So Tiva and I did it, we took on the crowd of Black Friday. The only problem was there was no crowds were we went. We started off with waking up at 4:30, to get to Big 5 Sporting goods, by 5am. there were like 20 people in front of us, we got in and out pretty easily. Our next stop wasn't open until 6. So we went and got some early morning breakfast at McDonald's. While eating in our car, in the parking lot of our next destination (which won't be mentioned because of potential people reading this), we noticed Target's parking lot was quite empty for this morning. So we went into it, and got some cheap things, and had little to no wait at the checkout stand.

When we got into the store of our choice, we went straight to our item. We saw a huge line, but then noticed no one had anything in their hands. They were waiting for pick up items. So we were able to go straight to the checkout stand, getting our best deal of the day.

We finished our adventure with 3+ more hours of sleep.

Christmas shopping almost done.

Update

So life has been going on, and blogging hasn't, we will try to update as much as possible. We are new to this all. We will get some pictures up too. Life has been going well. Tiva is teaching high school history (1st Year). I am attending Weber State University, and finishing up generals and pre reqs for the Social Work Program. I am also working for a Foster Care company, being a role model/big brother like individual for some foster kids. It has been fun so far. We are living in Ogden UT, enjoying every minute of it.

Hi
