Merry Christmas to Us ....

WE BOUGHT A HOUSE!

This is definitely our Christmas present to each other this year. We closed 2 days ago - and will be moving in next week! Moving on over to the East side .... Aurora!

Its an older home (1968) that has been completely remodeled. The landscaping will definitely need some work, but we are up to the challenge (we think). Its crazy to think we own a 5 bedroom house (with definitely not enough furniture to fill it).

More pictures to come after we move in (this one was just one I found off the internet).

For now, we are going to relax and enjoy the holiday.

Merry Christmas Everyone!!

Year Two, Me & You ....

I love my husband. Tomorrow marks year two of marriage for us. These two years have been hard at times, but overall it has been absolutely wonderful (and it just only keeps getting better). I love being married. I love having my husband at my side, and I look forward to spending eternity with him. I love you, Will.


This is us last night before my work Christmas party:

And now, I'm going to go enjoy a fabulous anniversary date night with my hubby. Off to Landry's for dinner then a movie!

Denver Parade of Lights

Last weekend Will and I went with some awesome friends (Niel & Dani) to the Parade of Lights in downtown Denver. This was my first Denver Parade experience. I honestly didn't know they had parades here, and I felt lacking for the many parades I remember back in the NW.

Anywho, it was a fun date night. Rather cold - but we booked it out of there before the end so we could hit up Olive Garden. I must say that was the BEST Olive Garden experience I have had in a LONG time. Our server totally broke several rules (I would know since I worked there for a week). She was CONSTANTLY filling our breadstick basket without asking us (with more than the "alloted number per fill up), constant drinks (mine never got below 3/4 full) and then at the end of the meal she literally dumped like a dozen plus of those andes mints on our table (there were only 4 of us). I'm sure no one else would've noticed these things, but since I worked there, and since the past few times Will and I have gone we have gotten terrible service ... this was quite the unexpected treat! That girl was definitely working for her tip!

Here are the 4 of us at the Parade:

This was a super sparkly fun band:

Our pretty Christmas tree in our apartment:
And just for fun
Will being cheesy while I was testing out my new camera.
My other camera randomly decided not to hold a charge, so we got a new one on Cyber Monday.

In other news, we finalized negotiations on the house we put an offer in for, and our appraisal happened last week - and we now are just waiting for the appraisal information and then we should be good to close in about 10 days! Kinda crazy since we put an offer in on this house "on a whim" but I think overall its going to be a very good thing for us. : )
