Lights

This is our tree with lights and decorations. It took this picture with my phone so it is not that great. But look how cute and little it is! I love it. The dark rectangle is a picture ornament of Orion and I. It was a gift and on the back it say Our First Christmas 2010.

SIck

My sweet husband is sick. It is cute because normally he is manly and tries to take care of me, but right now he can barely breathe through his nose. It is in bed at the moment trying to sleep, but it is not working so well. In fact he keeps asking me what I am doing. He is like a little kid when he is sick, all he wants to do is cuddle up next to me and relax. Good thing I love cuddling and I was already sick. This happened last year before we got married. I got him sick around Christmas although we could not cuddle all day long. He attempted to go to work but only last four hours. He came home on his lunch and has been trying to get better even since. I know I am such a sap, but my husband is really cute when he is sick. I love being able to take care of him. He is always trying to make me feel special and loved so when he gets sick it is my turn to make him  feel this way. By the way the last time he was sick was Christmas time last year. Go figure I get him sick every year. Good thing he loves me anyways.

School

This is what I want from school

But this is what I am currently getting

Seriously this semester has really made me want to quit my online classes. It has been so difficult for me. With Orion being out of work for two months and having a lot of group assignments I have been struggling. I am at my wits end. Tomorrow morning I have to give a presentation to one of my groups for class and I found out that some else picked the same topic I did. So we are going to say the same things and I have to talk for ten minutes. I don't know how well this will work out considering only five people are presenting and two are on the same topic. I hope I go first so I won't have to sound stupid repeating everything someone else said. I am so grateful that the semester will be over next week. I just have to get through all of my group projects and other assignments this week and the next week will be a breeze. It is getting through this week that will be difficult.

Wish me luck because I really need it.

Ridiculous!

I just have to rant for a moment. Group projects are horrible! Group projects online are RIDICULOUS! I am mean seriously the reason people take online classes is the fact that they are so flexible. Having to arrange a time to meet and make a group project is impossible when it is online. People live in different time zones and are busy. Plus when you try to email people about what time would be good to present your project to your teacher you never know when or IF you are going to get a response. Then when a time is picked everyone starts complaining that it does not work for them. OR when you assign parts of the project to other people and they don't do it all you can do is send an email. WHAT IS AN EMAIL GOING TO DO? If they don't want to work on the group project and you send a bunch of reminder emails they can just delete them. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I want to scream! I HATE GROUP PROJECTS ONLINE! Seriously I want to punch some people in the face. Check you stupid email everyday, because hello that is the only way the teacher is going to inform you or your class mates are going to be able to get a hold of you.

So ends my rant.

We have decorated the tree but I have not taken any pictures yet because I have been busy attempting to make some of my online class's group to actually do their work. I have sent multiple emails already today. Our presentation is tomorrow and I have one person's work and two others who have yet to do anything. Needless to say I am a little ticked at the moment.

Oh Christmas Tree

We bought a Christmas tree! It looks kinda like this...

Ok so it has more branches, but this tree has more decoration than ours does. Our tree is only 5 feet tall so we put it on a little stand so it would appear bigger. Seeing as how our Christmas budget is mostly for presents to other people when it came time for a tree we did not have very much left over. Our actual tree looks like this...

We currently only have two ornaments and zero lights. What can I say we are poor newly weds. This will be our first Christmas being married. Last year I was sick the week of Christmas and Orion was sick the week after. I hoping we don't start that as a tradition. We are not actually celebrating Christmas at our apartment this year so having a baby tree is just fine with me. It fit in the back of our car, which is an ex cop car so the back seat is pretty big, and Orion carried it up the stairs with one hand. To be honest I am proud of our little baby Christmas tree I think it is cute. It makes our house smell wonderful!

This weekend we are going out decorations hunting! Dollar store and Wal Mart here we come! I am so excited to decorate our little tree! I am thinking of having a silver theme and snowflakes. I will post some pictures of our fully dressed tree later.

Black Friday

What a crazy day! Orion and I were not crazy enough to go super early in the morning so we did not get any SUPER AMAZING deals. But we did get some nice clothes. We each go two pairs of pants, sweaters, shirts, and pjs! I felt a little ridiculous when I got to the check out stand and the lady told me how much all of the stuff was. It was a little over a hundred dollars and I was so excited that we got all of that stuff. Yay for amazing deals and nothing costly over 15 bucks! Basically that is our Christmas present's to ourselves unless we get more money. I am hoping we make some extra money to buy a sewing machine! Then I could attempt to be crafty. We a glorious day that will be! Or it might turn out bad, we will see.

Thanksgiving!

I am so excited for Thanksgiving! One because someone else will be doing the cooking and shopping. Two I will get to sleep in and cuddle with Orion. And three, the reason I am really really excited about Thanksgiving is NO SCHOOL FOR A WEEK! I am so excited! I don't have school work for an entire week it is going to be amazing and probably at some times boring because I won't have anything to do.

On a side note it was Orion's birthday day last week. On the 14th he turned 23! I made him a yummy ice cream cake. It is our new thing that we are trying to master. My attempt was a little better than Orion's because I learned from his mistakes. Although on our way over to Orion's brothers house the ice cream melted that was suppose to be the bottom layer and got all over my pants. I was wearing blank pants so it was very clear that I had ice cream all over them. A tip for the wise do not put ice cream as a bottom layer. It will just melt all over you.

I am not very good at writing on cakes. I figured it was ok because the cake was a messy theme. Those are candy rocks and gummy worms all over the cake. Our little nieces and nephews loved the cake. Our two year old nephew played with one of the worms for half an hour. It was great. Hopefully when we have children Orion and I will be masters at making birthday cakes.
