Merry Christmas

Have you seen the new Christmas memes on the Mormon Channel's facebook page? Or have you seen the beautiful video by the Piano Guys of  O Come, Emmanuel?

Johnny Lingo

Today I decided I married Johnny Lingo (read here for story). Dave told me a few weeks ago that he would have paid 10 cows for me. All I could think was, where are my parents going to put 10 cows? He tells me all the time that he loves me and thinks I am beautiful! When he says things like this it just makes me feel sexy and totally comfortable in my own skin. Now when people ask me, "how is being a newlywed?" I can say I married Johnny Lingo! :)

p.s. The summer I lived in Hawaii I met the man who played Mahana's father, Joseph Ah Quin. He came to my work and I made him say the famous line "Mahana you ugly!" It was awesome, we all had a big laugh!

Christmas Tree

Dave finally got into the Christmas spirit this year. The last two years we had a wimpy 6 inch tall tree I covered in gold balls and bells. Ikea had a sale on Christmas trees, so we got the tallest Dave allowed me to get (or would fit in the car). We also got a box of red and white ornaments on sale for £5. Then went over to a Home Depot like store and got the tree stand and some lights. 

Wish this was a scratch and sniff picture, because the tree sure makes the house smell good.

Movember

Dave decided he wanted to participate in Movember this year. This is what he ended with:

He didn't really like it, too itchy. I thought it was easier to kiss him without it. So Dave shaved it off as soon as he got home from work on Dec 1st (Dave works the graveyard shift so it was around 6am).  But I thought I would put up the evidence that he actually participated this year. 

winter allergies

I had every intention of going to school today. However, my body did not. I woke up and started to sneeze like crazy and have a runny nose. It's difficult to get anything accomplished when all you do is sneeze and blow your nose. I've had this allergy for a couple of months now. The only thing I am allergic to is cats. So I have been confused about where this allergy came from when there are no cats around. It mostly happens in the mornings. I use to be able to take an OTC and a shower and the symptoms would go away, but not anymore. I now sneeze throughout the day and night. The top of my mouth use to be itchy, but now it is my lips and skin around my mouth. I looked it up on the internet and some people said it could be a food allergy, but I'm not eating anything new/different. Or it could be dust mites, that solution is to wash your sheets more frequently. So I have been doing that, and I have been sneezing more. Dave thinks it is the new laundry soap. The last time I was allergic to laundry soap I had a skin reaction, but no skin reaction this time.
Anyone else have a suggestion? I am hoping this goes away when the weather gets better.
