Our first Christmas together!

This was our gift exchange! Todd got a drill, and tool set, and he got me a massage chair!!! It was funny, becuase that is exactly what I told him I thought it was!

In front of Todd's tree! I can just picture him putting that ribbon on the tree all by himself! How cute!!

This is Todd cutting the chicken for our Tending to the stir fry!!

stir fry!!! YUM!

We had our first Christmas together! On Christmas eve we had an exchange with just the two of us, and made a special dinner at Todd's house! On Christmas day we went to Eric and Tif for a wonderful Christmas dinner, and festivities! And on the day after Christmas we had the whole family get together at Phil and Karen's house! It was a very fun and exciting first Christmas together!!!

Our bedroom set!

Here is our new bedroom set for those of you who asked to see it! I love the colors- and I feel it is not too feminine for Todd!!!

We bought our new bed! :)

The amusement park in the Mall of America!

HAHA my mom was so intent on getting the log boat behind us, she forgot to get our heads!!!!!!! hahaha

Todd came to Sioux Falls for Thanksgiving this year. It was a blast! He came out Tuesday, November 25 and stayed until Sunday night!
On Wednesday we went to the Mall of America! And had a blast riding amazing roller coasters!!!! It was such a fun day!

Thursday was family time- and marathon eating!! YUM!! Todd went out shooting with my cousins and uncles after dinner. (He still cannot hear me!! haha)

Friday we went shopping (8:30am) not crazy!! Then we worked out, and went to the AMAZING Sioux Falls Parade of Lights! A tradition that I have been doing since I could walk! (Well probably even before!) It was cold, but so fun! Then we went to Jeff and Bethany's house with a bunch of people to play games!!

Saturday was had our first session with Rev. Brummel, then lunch at the Brummels- and then we REGISTERED!!!! It was very fun- a bit stressful:) We ended up going to Target, and Bed Bath and Beyond! It was great trying to plan our future home together!!!

Sunday was normal- church, lunch, church, SAYING GOOD-BYE:( We are so excited for the time when we no longer have to say good-bye to each other!!!!!)

SURPRISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On November 13, 2008 I went to Chicago to Surprise Todd!!!! It was amazing!!! He had no idea!
I told him that I had Parent-teacher conferences that night. (lie- ugh!) And that I would call him afterwards. Meanwhile I was in the air, on my way to Chicago. His parents so graciously picked me up from the airport- and brought me to his house. Now he was not home at the time, he was out for supper with friends, so I called him on the phone telling him I was on my way home from school. He then said he was leaving the restaurant so he could talk to me! I told him that I wanted to take a quick shower, and Id call him when he got home. (This was because I didn't want to be talking to him on the phone when he walked into his house, and plus there is a train across the street that he would recognize if the horn blew.) So anyways I heard him come home, and he was coming down one end of the hallway- while I was walking down the other end. He was looking down at something, and when he heard my shoe click he looked up and SCREAMED!!!!!! hahah he had no clue!! It was soooo fun :):):):):) It was a fun bonus weekend!!!!
