Its Christmas Time in the City
Ok so since we're getting close to the New Year...it is time for that yearly review.
Lessons learned this year:
1. You always get sick over Christmas/New Year's vacation
2. My husband actually remembers our anniversary (and he brings roses)
3. Valentines Day becomes pretty lame after you're married....so really its only cool when you're
dating someone...or under the age of 12
4. All your friends will decide to get married the same summer...we went to 6 weddings this
year...
5. Wymount Ward Testimony meetings sometimes hurt my face...who starts their testimony
by talking about a movie nobody should ever see....uhhhh what?! (literally the testimony
began....I saw a movie this weekend that I wouldn't recommend...who are you?! Siskel)
6. Apparently you have to have children to be a part of the in-crowd in student married
housing and apparently plants don't count.
7. Apparently pillows from Kirtland's don't last an entire year before they become little lumps
of broken home design dreams
8. When moving it is always a good idea to invite burly relatives (seriously one of my cousin in
laws carried our entire couch by himself...on his back...)
9. Red roses look dead when they're dried...so if you want a morbid gothic look red is the way
to go (and don't put them next to a wedding picture...people might start thinking your
marriage is on the rocks)
10. Half of the wedding presents you thought "Oh wow...I'll totally use that everyday" (like the
bread maker, George Foreman Grill, Cuisenart Food Processor, etc)...will just sit on the top
of your kitchen shelves....ok not half...ALL
11. The temple becomes easier the more time you go...just remember to wear a slip....
12. Those vinyl signs and marble tiles aren't nearly as hard to make as they look...people
THEY'RE STICKERS!!
Books I've Read and Loved
1. Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows
2. Pendragon (the series)
3. All and anything Tom Clancy
4. James Patterson...lots of gore and a good mystery
5. The Book of Mormon...it changes each time you read it...only book I know that does that
Alright so maybe I'll rehash the year more later...that's all for tonight.
