Oh How I Love Christmas Time!!

The Holiday Season oh how I love you!! I know that some feel you are to stressful and full of business but I feel that’s a choice one makes to allow it to be stressful. To me its full of fun adventures and being able to give to and spend time with those you love!

This Holiday Season was a very fun and extra special one to me because I got to spend it with Kyle. Wow!! What a change having someone to spend Christmas with makes. Yea family is fun but spending it with the one you love is so different and more special.

One of my favorite Christmas activities this month was going to the Kurt Bestor concert. Kyle does so much for me that a few months ago I decided I wanted to surprise him and treat him to a really nice date. So I bought us tickets for Kurt Bestor!! Before the concert we spent the day shopping. Then we had a yummy yummy dinner at Zetajas (so going there again) As Kyle has told me so many times the concert was the perfect way to start the Holidays off and we need to make a tradition of going to some concert.

This year I got a new experience…going to a company work party with Kyle!! I have been to one other couple work party and it was fun but man nothing compares to this one! When we arrived at the Barn at Thanksgiving Point for the Xactware Christmas party we were greeted with a red carpet, limos and spot lights (yes you heard me right). This year was their 25th year of being in business so they celebrated with a Hollywood Awards Show theme. When we got inside the party each couple got a “prom” picture taken and then was able to visit the Hot Chocolate Bar. Dinner was kicked off with a prayer…that’s what happens when the owners are LDS and I loved it. We had an amazing dinner of prime rib, pork loin and salmon….and the best chocolate cake ever! After dinner they had an amazing juggler/comedian they flew in from Vegas. This guy had me laughing the whole night.

This last week was the ultimate in Christmas Celebrations…lots of cuddling Christmas movie watching. A trip to temple square and of course Christmas!!

I loved being able to give and spend Christmas with Kyle. Every time we get extending weekends together I feel more and more in love with him. I am always amazed by how tender and caring he is. He also can always make me laugh…either with funny jokes, teasing me or just being him and having fun together. I love watching how is with my family. They can be a challenge at times but he is so so patient with them. And I love him for it. I love how much he cares for me and how its impossible not to see it and feel it!! I also LOVE that Kyle caught on to the fact that I become such a kid on Christmas and loved me for it!! Man I love this man and cant wait for him to be my husband.

I loved that Kyle loved all the gifts I gave him and I love everything he gave me. Best part we are set for camping….we got a tent, dutch oven and sleeping bag!! Wahoo now come summer come!

I cant wait for this weekend and being able to spend more extended time with him.

Holly Hanah Im So Bad At Posting

I have no excuse what so ever but I am so horrible at posting this last little while.

Last weekend was a good one, or so it started that way. It was ment to be a nice dinner date on Friday. Then a Saturday full of BYU Games...basketball and football.

Well it started off well. Friday Kyle and I went to a yummy Thai restaurant. But in the middle of the night I came down with the flu...whopps. So I spent all saturday as sick as a dog. But Kyle being the amazing guy he is patiently ran to the store to get me everything I needed. I loved that he would just cuddle on the couch and care for me. I could sense his love and tenderness he holds towards me. I loved being cared by him!!

Sunday was a fun day. Finally feeling over the flu we set out and helped the neighborhood clean up after the huge wind storm. It was really weird though to not have church on a sunday and to spend it in service. Im going to have to write more on that when I get a chance.

That night Kyle and I were blessed enough to go to the First Christmas devotional. I tradition I will be starting. Every year we will either go or watch it as a family.

So though all of last weekends plans where a wash out this weekend was amazing!!!!

We had a much needed weekend to our self!

Friday night was a fun simple dinner and suit shopping for Kyle. Man I cant get over how hot and sexy he looks in his wedding suit. Best part...we waited easily 30 min to be measured for his tailoring needs so Macys gave it to us for free. A $500 dollar suit for $200!!! Cant get better then that!!

Saturday was a fun busy day. Suit purchased with left over money we headed to Fashion Place mall to go dress shoe shopping for Kyle. As a heads up...Macy's at Fashion Place Mall does not have a mens department. Dang it all. But no worries we found a killer deal on Kyle's shoes online. I cant wait to see him all dressed up!!

Saturday night was the greatest yet. I got to treat my man to a fancy date. I had bought tickets months ago to the Kurt Bestor christmas concert (my favorite thing ever). So that night I treated Kyle to dinner at Zetajas and a lovely concert.

I love him so much and love everything he does for me. It was such a lovely change to treat him like the princely gentleman he is!!

Gobble Gobble It Was Thanksgiving Time

Ill admit my blogging hasnt gotten behind again...this week cause I was so busy at work that I just didnt have time to blog.

This past weekend was Thanksgiving and my first away from my family ever. I guess its time to get used to splitting family holidays and starting my own family traditions. I was having a hard time wrapping my mind around this one tell its become time to do so and I loved it!

Kyle and I headed up to Boise for Thanksgiving with his family. I was a little nervous to meet his family but know if they were anything like Kyle then I was in for a great weekend.

On Wednesday we headed up after work. after a very long drive we arrived at Kyle's parents place. I was greeted with lots of hugs and warm wishes...I knew I was in for a great weekend and a loving family.

Thursday it was so nice to be able to sleep in and just spend my morning laying around with Kyle. The day was so fun between learning new family traditions...meeting the rest of his family. I loved getting to know his cute nephews and playing with them. It was fun to see how cuddly and playful yet easy going some one year olds can be. I could seriously eat Corbin up and by the end of the weekend Jaydon and I become close buddies. I love it. Yes I love Daxton but it was fun to be with a one year old that wasnt bouncing off the walls. Thanksgiving was so fun playing fun games and just having family time on a smaller scale then Im used to .

Friday turned into quite the Marathon. Up and out the door at 5am and not back tell nearly 2pm for Day of Thanksgiving shopping!! And I loved it. We got loads of good deals and a lot of christmas shopping done. Now I just need Christmas to get here so I can wear my new cloths and boots. And I cant wait to be in my own Kitchen making homemade pasta in my new Kitchen Aid...yummmm. After a really long nap we got up and went out to dinner with Kyle's parents. After dinner we watched what had to be one to the funniest movies ever...Christmas Vacation.

Saturday was a nice day of some bonding with Kyle's family. The siblings all went out to eat and shopping and then we all settled in for a game night!!

I loved meeting and getting to know Kyle's family. I can see how Kyle become the amazing man he is being raised by his amazing and loving parents. I know that I am going to grow and develop a close sister friend relationship with Lauren and Mikayla. I am gaining two cute nephews. I felt so welcomed, comfortable and accepted into his family that I am more and more in love with Kyle and excited to start our family together and have more time with his family.
