It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas!!

Brad and I decorated the house for Christmas!! It was so much fun! While I made dinner he dragged the huge Christmas tree box in from the garage and set up the tree. We put the decorations out around the house and it was so fun bringing out the decorations I bought the day after Christmas last year and completely forgetting what I bought and loving all of it! We still need a star or an angel for the top and a tree skirt! The ornaments may be temporary until we start collecting Hallmark ornaments or figure out a theme. But I'm loving the red and silver theme we have going right now :)

Desert Trip

The day after Thanksgiving I woke up at 3:30am and drove out to Parker, AZ to meet Brad, Uncle Mike, Aunt Bonnie and all his cousins. We went for a off roading ride to the Desert Bar and had some drinks there. We headed back to camp, BBQ'd some tri tip for dinner. We slept on an air mattress in his uncles RV because 25 degrees was just too cold to sleep in his Tahoe! Saturday, we packed up and headed to the other side of the river to the California side of Parker, AZ. We went to his old engineer's trailer right on the water and hung out with some friends and had a Thanksgiving dinner. :) Brad and I slept in the back of his Tahoe on the air mattress. It wasn't that cold, pretty warm and cozy :) That morning we got up and went for an off roading ride to some waterfalls in Parker. We relaxed and headed back to Havasu to drop the trailer off with the Ranger and Arctic Cat and hit the road for home. It was a nice little getaway and it's definitely hard to be back at work!

Anaheim Ducks Game!

Last night Brad and I went to the Anaheim Ducks game. I won tickets from work and the seats were smack in the middle of the rink and 2 rows from the ice! We were right behind the Ducks' penalty box. This was my first professional ice hockey game and I couldn't have asked for better seats or a better game to attend! The Ducks won in OT and I am now officially hooked on hockey!!
