Getting Our Very Own "REAL" Christmas Tree
Every single year Jamie forces me to go and get a real Christmas tree, which I absolutely do not want. This year was especially painful because she made us go to a tree farm instead of just a store parking lot. As you can tell I was just overflowing with the Christmas spirit!
After being drug around a good portion of the farm by Jamie and Ella we did finally find our perfect tree.

After we found it we got to get free hot chocolate and popcorn while we waited for it to be wrapped up for us to take home.

Then Jamie, Ella, and Lola transformed the house into Christmas central! Secretly I loved it but I just have to protect my Grinch image.

A Little Change of Plans

So, I know that it is becoming a little bit of a challenge to keep up with what is actually going on in our lives, but there has been a change of plans in my career and living arrangements. We are no long going to be moving to Phoenix, but instead, we will be moving to Dallas, TX. I know, a lot of people including my grandmother were very excited for us to be moving to Phoenix. The reason we are not going there, is that a company in Dallas that I had previously interviewed with and sent a letter of rejection contacted me and said that they really wanted me to come and work for them. After some discussions, we are now going to be moving to Dallas, TX (Arlington actually). It's overall a better deal. We will be getting a better salary, and the cost of living is substantially cheaper in Dallas than Phoenix. The housing is also much cheaper, so we will be able to get a house much sooner than if we had moved to Phoenix. Another reason it is better according to my wife is that it is much closer to Nebraska than Phoenix. I know it's getting close to when I graduate, but at least I was able to have a choice in jobs, because with the economy, a lot of my classmates are either stuck with one offer, or they don't have one at all. I'm so grateful to be so blessed. I know that Heavenly Father has been watching over me and my family, so I know that this is what and where we are supposed to be. Thanks for everyone's comments, and i look forward to reading these next ones. Have a great week everyone.
