1.) For our Christmas present from my sister, Annaliese, offered to paint a room for us. The room she painted was our main floor bathroom and we gave her an extra challenge because we picked out this really cool looking textured "suede" paint which we had really liked in one of our friend's house. So, Annaliese came over and slaved away for hours while I got to play with my adorable little neice, Addie, they spent the night and she slaved away again the whole next morning. It turned out really awesome. I don't know if you can see the texturedness from the picture but it looks really cool in person, so THANK YOU ANNALIESE!!

8 things that happened yesterday
1.) went to work in a blizzard practically, was tailed by a snow plower that wasn't plowing
2.)went to Walmart, finally bought some tights, I was much warmer the rest of the day, amazing how dressing warmer makes the winter a little more bearable too bad it has taken me like 8 years to figure this out.
3.)drove home from work
4.) offered to baby-sit Addie for Annaliese so she could have girls night out
5.) got invited to enrichment by my neighbor I am trying to be friends with.
6) asked Ryan if he wanted to watch addie while I went to relief society dinner, (and asked Annaliese if that was ok)
7) Went to the dinner with my two neighbors ate yummy food and then right as the spritual part was going to start got a call from ryan saying to come home as he wasn't sure what to do with a crying baby.
8) came home calmed Addie down much to Ryan's amazement, it must be a girl thing, watched re-runs of the Office, hung out with annaliese when she came to pick up Addie, then went to bed with the kitchen messy from our cooking adventures of our first time making sugar cookies the night before.

funny wishlist...except now everything i've thought of to get you for christmas seems lame. :)
That is a nice christmas from annaliese and it looks really good! I agree with all of your places to visit list, new orleans wasn't all that bad, except we did go there when i was like 6 and almost got kidnapped, but hey they're safe cause they have in house fbi!
hahahha. i like how getting a million dollars negates world peace, world hunger, having a baby, and saving the struggling economy.
Man, what a great present from Annaliese- I guess I will just have to come check it out myself:)
It did turn out rather well, if I do say so myself. By the way, I watched our wedding DVD again today (no, I'm not lonely or pathetic at all) and Ryan did such a good job on that. It's awesome. That was such a great Christmas present.
Ha ha, I will have to agree with Orson. But yea! I am excited that you want a baby. Merry Christmas! I hope Ryan spoils you and gets you everything on your list.
