December So Far...

Its only December 10th but so far its been a crazy busy month and crazy fun! I love this time of year!! I am not going to lie its different here in the South then it is back in Utah. Nick is still wearing shorts most days. I wear my caprices a lot still. When I am home I make sure my Christmas tree lights are on and the scentsy is on so it feels more like Christmas. I had to buy Peppermint Ice Cream too. ha But even though we are surrounded by palm trees or should I say Palmetto Trees. And there isn't any snow (which I love) I still feel the Christmas spirit. I still feel so grateful for our Savior.

It wasn't December 1st yet but I begged Nick to let us put up our Christmas tree. Its a lot smaller than our old one. But I love it! It fits our apartment perfectly. And I am so grateful for my parents getting it for us. And my parents gave us a new ornament to add to our tree. I love it. So Nick and I put on The Santa Clause as we set up the tree. I love that movie!  A few days later we had our ward Christmas party. It was a morning party which I liked. There was cookie decorating. Yummy hot chocolate with lots of different hot chocolate toppings. And Santa was there. We were served breakfast and the primary children sang. It was a lot of fun. I am so grateful for this ward. Words can't express how grateful. I am so grateful for the friendships I have made. These girls in my ward are my support system. They are my sanity!! I would be such a basket case without them. They are constantly thinking of me and helping me. Anyway after the party Nick went to study. And I went shopping with some friends. I personally didn't buy anything. But I was happy to get out of the house and enjoyed the company.

Nick only has 2 finals left yay!! We plan to live it up the next few weeks! Sleeping in, watching movies,  exploring Charleston, and attending any Christmas activities that Charleston has to offer. His mom and brother will be here in a week or two to play with us. Its going to be a good December!!
