Lindsey's Corner: December

Well the month of December brought us much joy and a little bit of a backache as well :)

Matt has been wanting to drive an SUV for a while so we went "looking" for cars and really fell in love with a newer version of my 4 runner but it wasn't in the cards. Then when we went back a second time we came upon this gem.

They gave us full blue book value for Matt's nissan, so we got it!

Now Matt has been in a wreck before because a teengaer rear ended his last car and totaled it so I think he must have bad luck because a week after we got this car this happened...

Sitting at a stop light on Northwest hwy the guy behind us decided his light had turned green and slammed right on in to us. Luckily the little car took it like a champ! We got a new bumper out of the deal but had some neck and backaches for a while to go along with it. I hope I'm never in a wreck again, it was kind of scary.

Next December brought us our first married Christmas which was very special. We spent Christmas eve with his family ( I missed my mom's tortilla soup and Emily's queso though) where we all exchanged gifts and had a nice dinner together. I love traditions and I feel it is important that Matt and I incorporate our own in to our new little family so we got stockings and "Santa" filled them with some goodies which we exchanged Christmas morning before going to mom and dad's house. We had fun watching Camp and Ellis rip in to the presents. Ellis picked up pretty quickly on how to open hers which was hilarious to watch. All in all a pretty good day together with the family.
