Ok guys, since i've been experimenting with my Mac computer, I have created a new blog website. here it is

web.mac.com/ihm10

no www needed ladies and gents. I don't know if that site will be permanent or not, but I seem to like it for now. Check out the different links below the title. Let me know what you think!

A Whole New World

The first Christmas gift of the year!!!

David and I were blessed with a Computer from my grandmother!!
We went and picked it out on wednesday. And, we have converted.

No more PC!!

Yes, we have switched over to the wonderful world of MACS!!

They are AMAZING!!!!!

We are still in shock over everything that they do. It's kind of hard to describe to someone who doesn't own a mac, why owning a mac is so much better. Let's just say, David and I are impressed.

The obvious things that are better: It's lighter, quieter, and fits much better on your lap than the bulky pc's do.

It's got a built in camera called isight.

It's got a photo booth section, where you and your loved ones can take goofy pics of each other and then put all these different backgrounds on them and stuff.



This is one of the pics we took. It's called swirl. We laughed so hard while we were taking it, simply because we looked really funny. We took a normal pic to.



I took these pics WITH MY COMPUTER.

Well, all we have to say is, THANK YOU GRANDMOTHER!!!!!!!

Change of Plans

Well, so much for having a different schedule!

I guess the manager that was helping us out while we didn't have another manager decided to go MIA, and now he's pretty much done with. Which means michelle had to switch me to all closings this week. So I'm back to my normal routine, but it kind of stinks because David works during the day, so it looks like we are going to have another week of not seeing each other. :(

Some good news though, we paid off our bedroom set!!! We are so proud because it only took us six months to pay it off, and we worked really hard to make sure we were saving up for it. It's nice to have that load off of our shoulders, and now we can focus on other things.

I went over to Jess's house last night to scrapbook. Nathan was being really clingy, so it was hard for me to get any work done. Every time I looked away from what he was doing, he would run back over to me and want to sit on my lap. It's pretty impossible to scrapbook when he's like that. But it was close to his bedtime, so Jess put him down to bed after a little while and I was able to get some things done. I put together my book and got 2 or three pages done, but mostly I just organized all my pics. They are really out of order and just kind of tossed into my carry bag. When we get our new house, I'm going to demand a scrapbooking room all to myself!! That way I can spread out and do what I need to do without worrying about making a mess. That would be amazing!!

Merry Christmas!

Ok, I know it's been a long time, and I'm so sorry!

I've been busy with Christmas shopping and cheer, and I have to admit, the change in schedule has gotten me a little out of loop!

I usually blog at night time when I get home from work. That's when all the creative juices are flowing and I can best collect my thoughts. Well since my schedule has changed a little, I have been working during the days, and when nighttime comes, I am in bed!

But I did want to get on a spread a little christmas cheer!
Here is our Christmas Tree after we first got it all decorated!

Here is an ornament that we got this year. It says Merry Christmas and it's made out of little candy pieces. There is a little gingerbread man in the middle holding it all together. I know this one's hard to see, but it's two bears all ready to get married! At the Bottom by their feet, it says, David and Chrystal, 2006. We are going to get one ornament a year with our names on it. Should be fun! These are the Christmas stockings that David and I decorated last year together. I decorated his, and he decorated mine. :) So we have everyone's gifts now, and that takes a lot of pressure off of me! Now I feel like I can relax and not worry about a thing! Maybe that means more blogging! Tonight I am going over to Jess's house to hang out and me, her and megs are going to scrapbook. It's been nice having a more normal schedule, I have been able to hang out with the girls three or four nights this week.

***

I'm trying to think of something newsworthy, but there's really not anything that's been going on. You'd think there would be something newsworthy, since I haven't blogged in so long, but there's really nothing special going on. David's parents are coming in town next week on Christmas day. Hard to believe Christmas is almost here! I can't wait!

Here's wishing you holiday cheer and happiness!

Snow fun

So the snow is still here.

When David and I walked outside, the snow came up to my knees!! I'm not joking either. We got a ton of snow for Tulsa.

I was banned from going anywhere on thursday, because the weather was so bad. So when David got off of work, he came home and took me out. We went to get our Christmas tree and managed to get back right before the weather started to get really bad.

Danny decided to come over since he didn't have anything to do, so we got to hang out with him for a little bit, which was fun. They boys braved the weather to go get us some Thai food from just down the road, since we didn't have anything outside.

When Danny left, he wasn't gone for 10 minutes before he called and said that he was stuck in the snow. He was stuck right down the road! He didn't even get half a mile before he got stuck. I guess he decided to pull over becuase he couldn't see, and he pulled over to far. So we went and helped to bail him out, then followed him home to make sure he was ok. Since there was virtually no one on the road, I asked David if this was a good time to teach me how to drive in the snow. (All the pics are from when we got to Danny's apartment)

Now, I've lived in tulsa for four years now, and it has snowed every year.

But it hasn't snowed like this.

So I got to drive back home, and that is when the adventure started!

David told me to turn onto a road, except for there wasn't a road there. So I turned, and we got stuck in the snow.

A good samaritan stopped and pushed us out, and we were good to go.

Then, going downhill, I started braking, and we spun clear to the other side of the road, and got stuck in the snow again. (Remember there were no cars out, so it was actually pretty safe, well, the snow was our only danger, and that turned out to be pretty soft) We had to wait a couple minutes for another car to drive by, but he stopped and happened to have rope to pull us out. Another good samaritan.

Then we drove by Applebees where David works, and we happened to see his managers cars there. So we stopped just to make sure they were ok, and they were, so we ventured on home. Well we hadn't been in the door for more than two minutes, when David gets a call on his cell phone from his boss, saying they were stuck in the snow!

The funny thing is, we were in David's little Toyota Corolla, and his boss had a big truck, and the other manager had a Jeep! But they needed the manpower, and since we had been helped so many times that night, we decided we had to go back and help them. It was actually kind of fun!

So today David and I started decorating our Christmas tree!

It was perfect out with the snow and everything, it really set the mood. So we sat in front of the tv, watched Polar Express, and started stringing popcorn and cranberries. They are turning out so good! :) We weren't able to finish, because David had to go to work, so we are going to try to finish it tomorrow.
This is me and David all bundled up in teh snow! I didn't realize how silly I looked! But I was in four layers of clothing so I was pretty warm. That picture of David alone up there, that is when he was begging me to go in. I think at that exact moment "PLEEEAAASSEEE!!!" Was the words coming out of his mouth.


And what you can't see in this picture is the big pile of snow I had in my hand ready to throw at him. I didn't do it of course, mostly becuase he was threatening me! :) What a great beginning to the winter season!
