Playing in the snow

Christmas day we decided to go outside to build a snowman.



Matt was the chosen one to make a snow angel.



Nice one!



We have been getting snow and rain off and on lately so the snow was very hard. This is what we ended up with since the snow wouldn't pack. Poor snowman!

Christmas Day

Christmas Eve...our pajama pants from my parents.



Christmas morning was sunny and we had fresh snow. It was a beautiful day!



Matt and I both got a "family gift" for us. It looked to be about the same size and weight.



Yes, we got the exact same game! Great minds think alike.

Big December Snow!

Look at all of our snow that we got today! It started around 5am and came down hard and fast all day. The drive to work was sure a white knuckle kind of experience. Matt's car tends to slide around the snow easily so I am getting the hang of manuvering the constant slide out of turns. Nothing like learning on the spot.



I love this view of our apartment. It looks so cute with the wreath on the door...so Christmasy!









This picture shows you that the snow is at the same level as our back door. I guess we will be having a white Christmas! We are suppose to get more snow in the next few days. I still love the novelty of the snow and as long as the roads get cleared I enjoy it even more.

2nd Anniversary

This is my home-made gift to Matt. I made this book of memories of our dating days up until now so that we won't forget them later on in life.



This is what Matt got me for our anniversary...they are beautiful roses and they are still thriving!



Our Christmas tree and anniversary fun. Our anniversary was on Tuesday and that night after we were both home from work we went to one of our favorite Middle Eastern restaurants to celebrate. It is so yummy!

Time sure has flown by...it is hard to believe we have been married for 2 years already. We are so blessed to have one another. I can't imagine 2 people being more in love and happier than we are.

Birthday Fun

This picture shows how creative my mom is. My parents sent me a package for my birthday, which is coming up on the 14th. In it there was a letter telling me to open one gift a day starting on the 10th...leading up to my birthday. I should also open them up in order starting with A, spelling out my name. You get the gist, right? So, like a good daughter I have been following and enjoying each day and the next treat to come.

If this were something sent to any one of my siblings, they would have torn into every package as soon as they got them...what can I say, I am pretty obedient. I only mention this really because my mom told me today that my siblings let her know that I would have been the only one who would follow along. How well they know me!

Dance Dance Revolution

This is Matt's sister Angela. Bust a move Steimle!



We went to a movie one night while we were in Utah and Matt gave us some pre-show entertainment.



Matt has got some rhythm!

Thanksgiving Weekend

No, we are not constipated:) We drove up Little Cottonwood Canyon in Utah to see the mountains that we miss so much! It was beautiful!



We also got to see some mountain goats...they didn't want their picture taken so instead you get to see me. It was chilly, but warmer than our usual Michigan weather so it was a nice change.



Thanksgiving night we were full and happy! We got to go to Matt's aunt and uncle's house in Tremonton for dinner. We ate some delicious food! Then we went to Kaysville to another aunt and uncle's house for some tasty Lime Ricky's.
