I had a birthday

My birthday was this past Friday, January 6th, so that means I am twenty-one! I can't believe that. For some reason it is so crazy that I will be 22 next year. I feel like I am just getting older, but not wiser haha. Anyways for my b-day I woke up with Cory at 6:30 am and when I walked out into the kitchen, Cory had hung streamers and balloons from the ceiling! It was such a surprise, and it was real sweet of him.

(This is our new kitchen, I love it and again with the underlining, does anyone know how to fix that?)

After that I went to sleep and I slept in kind of late, then I went to lunch with my mom at Cafe Rio. While we were eating, part of my fork broke off and landed in my food. I tried to avoid picking it up but I failed. I bit into it and it wedged between my two front teeth! There was so much pressure in between them I though I broke a tooth or something! But I didn't I think I just traumatized my two front teeth. Then all my front teeth from canine to canine were pretty sore for the next couple days, it kind of felt like I had braces again. Anyways, they don't look like they moved atall, so that's good.

After Cafe Rio we went shopping for a couple of hours. It was so fun! I love hanging out with my mom, she is a fun lady. Then when Cory got home from work I opened my presents, which were lovely! Then we went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner which is ALWAYS SO DANG GOOD. I love that place. After that we went to the Whittier's house and they gave me their present which was a DOILY and a picture frame, and a really really yummy homemade bar of soap. Finally, we went home and relaxed, which was the best gift. For some reason I am SO tired after work that I just have to sit down for like 6 hours. And on the weekends I just want to sleep. Is something wrong with me? I feel like I don't have any stamina anymore.

All in all my birthday was really fun! I am so grateful for the wonderful years I've had thus far in my life, and I am excited for all the new adventures in the many years to come!!

Our first apartment, first Christmas tree!

So, Cory and I just recently moved from our old stinky apartment into a much, much nicer one. Like, drug dealers don't even live by us anymore! We live with different honeymooners or 50th wedding anniversary celebrator's! We live at a hotel, not in a room, but in an apartment. And we love it! It is so fun. As my cousin Jan said, we are the 'innkeepers' haha. Anyways we set up Christmas at our old apartment even though we moved before Christmas day. So here are some pictures from setting up our 3 ft tall tree. Oh, I will also post some pics of things we have been up to. Don't worry, you'll see what I mean.

This picture was actually taken for one of those cool b&w profile pictures that Megan (my sis-in-law) made for Cory's mom! It turned out really cute. I just wanted you all to see Cory's beard

These pictures are really out of order because blogger won't let me move them, it is also underlining EVERYTHING I type and it is driving me crazy! Anyways this is Cory smelling his fingers. ( I think he was actually about to scratch his nose but you never know.)

Cory putting the lights on the tree

This is my bathroom shelf that my sister Jill gave to me for $5! What a steal! It is so useful since I have so much crap.

This was our kitchen at the old apt. I tried to make it feel homier than it actually was. It was really cold in there so I always had like 3 layers on and I would leave the oven open after I cooked something in there so I could have the heat!

My snowman! Isn't he great? I think he is fabulous.

The living/family room. My siblings refinished that table for us! I love it. Cory loves the tv.

This is Cory's hair. I didn't realize how long it had gotten! Kind of funny. I really need a haircut too! It is so hard to find the time to go. I didn't realize how busy life gets once you are married. I guess I kind of thought we'd get to be with each other all the time, all day, never leaving the each other's side! But it isn't like that, which is just how life goes. But marriage is wonderful. I have the most wonderful husband who is so kind and so perfect for me. Life is great!

Maybe I will be in a few pics in my next post. I am always behind the camera now! And maybe I will put a picture of the finished tree on here! Wouldn't that be neat?
