First Christmas tree!

Me and Dallas made up our minds that we were not going to spend too much money on a Christmas tree this year. We started looking on craigslist to see if we could get a good deal but every time we found one and called, it was already gone. One morning Dallas was sitting on the computer trying to find one and he hit the refresh button and there was a listing for a free Christmas tree, the same size and type we were looking for. We were so excited, we jumped on the car and went to their place hoping that they still had it. When we got there and the guy saw our little car (mazda protege), he tried not to laugh and commented that it might not fit. We didn't care, so we just put the tree in the back seat and since the door wouldn't shut all the way, he had to bungee it shut. It was so cold that day so we were driving home freezing with the heater on full blast and the door half wide open. Good thing it was only a 5 mile drive. They were giving it away because only 40% of the lights worked on it, so we just had to buy a few strands, now it works perfect.

We LOVE our tree and we had so much fun picking the decorations and decorating it. Now we can't wait till Christmas!!

Dallas' new cleats

So Dallas has been begging me for new cleats for a year now because he said his old ones were so worn out. I kept resisting to the idea until one saturday morning he came home with what use to be his cleats. They were completely torn apart. He was so SAD! haha they were his high school football cleats from his senior year.. not that he got to use them much that year =( He still had a hard time parting with them. I seriously told him that it was just his cunning plan to get new cleats. Still to this day I think he broke them apart the night before he went and played flag football. Anyhow, I finally agreed on buying him new cleats so we went to the store, and as usual, took way too long deciding what to get. If you know us, you'll know that we're not the best couple on making fast decisions. Well this time was not the exception. Poor guys at the store stayed there 30 mins after closing hours cause my wonderful husband couldn't make up his mind! way too many choices. After a long process he finally decided to get a pair of pumas that he happened to see 10 min before we left the store. He absolutely loves them and he can't wait till each saturday morning so he can use them. Look at his face! I swear our kids are going to be the biggest pouters thanks to my hubby! Luv ya babe!
