See you in 2009

We're heading off! My next post will be from the Ozarks, our new home sweet home.
Happy New Year's Eve!!!

Graduated

This post is a little late but important! Tony is finished with school! Yay!!! I'm so proud of him :) Unfortunately he won't be walking since BYU doesn't hold graduation ceremonies until spring. I wanted some pictures of him in graduation robes...oh well. He graduated from BYU'S Marriot School of Business. I found these little clips from the paper about his program:

For the first time ever, BusinessWeek placed BYU in its top tier of business schools, earning a No. 22 overall rank in its Nov. 24 issue.

The Princeton Review also ranked the Marriot School as the fourth most competitive, and 10th in the category of "best classroom experience."

Pretty impressive, huh?

Stockings!

I met up with my friend Heather at Trolley Square for dinner so of course I had to browse Pottery Barn while I was there. I have been looking for stockings but didn't want to buy any unless they were the perfect ones! We'll have these for years! I saw these in the catalog and loved them but when I was in the store they were on SALE!!! Whoo hoo!!!I got the red one for me and unfortunately for Tony they didn't have the green one pictured above, so I got him a traditional red and white velvet stocking. I don't think he minds :)
I'm so excited for Christmas!

PASSED!

Ok if any of you know my math history, you know that this is very exciting! I passed my math class! WHOO HOO!!! Not only passed but I did pretty good! Not an A good (no one in my class got an A, except for maybe this kid who sat in the back corner, kept quiet and knew EVERYTHING--I should've sat by him...) but I feel very good about it. Christmas break has officially begun and I couldn't be happier!!!

Happy For The Holidays!

I am LOVING this season! For Thanksgiving we went to my parent's house and spent a few days there. My mom is so great at making wonderful food and setting the table beautifully. We watched Home Alone on Thanksgiving night (a family tradition) and went to Bolt in 3D the day after Thanksgiving. We had a great time spending a couple days with them.
Tony picked me up from work last week and this is what I saw when I opened the door...
Well this except for the decorations. I was so surprised! I was kinda bummed we wouldn't have a tree, but honestly where would we put it? Tony rearranged our apartment a little bit so it would fit. I love it! It is so fun to have the lights lit up. It makes our little apartment feel more homey. I can't wait for Christmas!

The Weekend

Friday night we went to Twilight. Tony even came with me! I'm a lucky girl. I've heard good and bad reviews about the movie (ahem, Hailey) but I actually liked it. Yeah some of the effects were a little lame and it was kind of cheesy but I still liked it. I watched an interview with some of the cast and they mentioned that the movie didn't have a ton of funds so the effects weren't as good as they could have been. So I think they did a pretty good job overall. I'm excited for the rest of the movies now. The casting was great and the movie followed the book really well. All in all, I liked it!
Saturday night we went to see my sister dance in The Nutcracker up at Weber State. She did such a great job. I wish I had some pictures! We had to miss the BYU/UTAH game because we were driving to Ogden during it but we caught some of it on the radio and we ate at Winger's and watched more of it there. I'm not a big sports person but I do like watching this game once a year. I'm sad BYU lost. Next year.
So I have about a month and a week before we are on the road to Bentonville! I'm looking to living in our new apartment. I can't wait to have a washer/dryer and dishwasher again. (The laundromat I go to now is so ghetto) I'm also looking forward to Andy's frozen custard and the employee gym. Whoo hoo! I have no idea what I'll be doing when we go out there. I need to find some new hobbies...any ideas?
