Oh Christmas Tree


Well, tonight was the lighting of the 50 ft christmas tree in the courtyard of the mall I work at. We were so exctied to be there and see it and then.... we were late and missed it! But the tree was lit and it is so beautiful!! It was freezing cold outside. Preston and I realized what babies we are in the cold when we were both wearing two jackets and were still shaking uncontrolably! We sure wish now more than ever we would have been able to go to Tucson. But hopefully after this assignment we will get sent to texas where the weather will be nice and HOT!! ANYWAYS, back on topic.. It was a really fun night! There was a parade going through the whole square. There was Santa Clause, a High School Marching band playing christmas music, Carolers all over, elfs and all sorts of christmas loving people!! It's so much fun working in this beautiful environment too! Santa has a little cabin where kids can come sit on his lap all day long, Mrs Clause reads stories everynight to groups of children, carolers come every weekend and sing songs for the shoppers and a horse drawn carriage gives rides all season long! It is so much fun to drive through every single day! Especially for people like us to love christmas as much as we love being alive!! LoL.. After we took some picutres and took a look around at all the beautiful decorations we went to this "authentic" turkish resturaunt for dinner just across the street. It was an interesting experience but the food was pretty alright! Well we hope everyone is loving the start of this Christmas season as much as we are and we can't wait to be with our families! OH YEAH.. and Happy Thanksgiving!!

WE HAVE A BLOG!!

Hello Everyone!!
Well we finally got a blog! YAY.. After we found out all our friends had them and we were the only ones that nobody knew anything about we decided to make one! So I bet your wondering what we have been doing out here in good old Dayton Ohio. Well Preston has been staying busy with school. I have FINALLY gotten a job! It took forever to transfer my license over to an Ohio State license but it worked out and I have been working for about 2 weeks now at Hausfelds Salon and Spa. It's a pretty nice, high end salon. Pauly Shore was in just the other day for a couples massage with his fiance. I guess he wasn't very nice though.. but i will be able to live with this job for the next year and a half with any luck. In our free time together we like to watch football, basketball, the office and ER. We also like to hang out with our cute little puppy, Tonka. He is a ton of fun and keeps us very busy. We love our house and we can't wait to decorate it for christmas cause it is going to be the cutest house ever!! For the holidays we are going to Idaho to spend Christmas with Prestons family and we are so excited to see everyone. Well thats about the basics of our lives right now. We are excited to have a blog and share our lives with everyone we love! I will let you know when something worth talking about comes up! Have a wonderful week!
