25 Days of Christmas

Another Christmas Miracle: 25 Days of Christmas on ABC Family. If we didn’t have free cable, I’d probably be tempted to buy it each December so I could watch all the movies. We took a break today to prepare for the coming week and have watched a couple of these Christmas movies shown on 25 […]

Christmas [Prime] is Here

I decided to do the majority of our Christmas shopping online because I don’t have much time to do shopping and I don’t want to overspend. So, I planned everything out and have ended up spending less than planned! “How?” You may ask. I’ll tell you how: Amazon AND their amazing Prime shipping. It’s truly […]

Carrie and I walked over immediately, prepared ourselves for the worst, for what was probably going to be our reality. Upon walking into the office, the secretary and our good friend Lauren walked out. I said, “I […]

Weekend Winter Wonderland Date

Problem: Think of a date that costs relatively nothing, yet will be a fun break from school and get us in the Holiday spirit. Solution: Make Waffles for dinner, go on a drive to see the lights in Provo including the live manger at the Provo Tabernacle, come home and watch Home Alone while making […]

Prince of Peace

T.J. and I were walking into the temple the other day and he started to sing a song out loud, but I stopped him and said, “T.J., only church songs!” You know, I was just trying to get in the right spirit for the temple. Anyway, T.J. started singing another song. This time it was […]
