Christmas & New Years 2008

How sad is it, that neither Jon nor I pulled out our camera this Christmas? It's our first Christmas as a married couple and we didn't even think to take any pictures at all. It kind of depresses me a little bit. At least my brother in law had his camera out. Hopefully we can use some of his pictures for our memories of this last Christmas. But, I finally got around to taking pictures of the presents that my adorable and amazing husband gave me for Christmas this year!

Embroidery Sewing Machine

When Jon and I first got married, I told him that the only present that I will ever really want is a sewing machine, it really is the only thing that I don't have but want. He went above and beyond and got me an embroidery sewing machine! It is extremely high tech. You don't have to use the pedal for speed if you don't want to, it threads the needle for you, and it has a digital touch screen on the front where you pick your stitches and patterns. I LOVE IT!!



iPod Nano

Jon was sick and tired of the shuffle that I got from NuSkin 3 years ago. It was falling apart, could only hold about 100 songs, and was in terrible condition. He went out and bought me this iPod Nano. Right after I opened it, I was in my bedroom uploading movies and music to it! He bought it so I could use it during my workouts, but we have an iPod docking station in our kitchen. So it's used to give me good music while I'm cooking, cleaning, or working out in the living room.



And of course, my husband got some power tools!! Since I work at Home Depot, I saw a deal that they had going for Christmas, so I utilized it and got my husband tools that he doesn't have yet. Ryobi: power drill, table saw, & recipricating saw. He loves them and has already used at least one of them. :)

It was a fun Christmas. New Years Eve, Jon and I developed a cold and stayed home. Jon's brother Lee spent the night at our house. We ate Jon & I's yummy crockpot chili, watched an old Jackie Chan movie, and lit off some fireworks at midnight. Very uneventful, until one of the fireworks almost exploded in our faces, but fun. Did I mention that they were artillery shells? haha.

Anyway, sorry for the late post. Things are going well in this messed up economy. We are still alive and well up here in Montana.
