First off I already announced that Anthony and I got engaged! I am still wearing a HUGE smile on my face and have been since Sunday December 18. I love using the word fiance and pinterest was already my best friend but now it is my bff and lifesaver.
On the 22nd Aunt Lori and Uncle Matt moved into their rental house until their home can be repaired. It is estimated to take 6 months but we are praying that it takes less. But on a good note they were able to get into a house just in time for Christmas. The house is in Tri-Valley school district which is perfect because the kids are able to ride the bus to school which means less driving for Aunt Lori. Mom took over our other Christmas tree for them so they would have a tree in the house. On the 23rd Anthony and I went over to see them and checkout the house. We asked Molly to be our flower girl in our wedding and she was so excited and I asked Maddy to be a bridesmaid. Molly wanted me to stay all night and have a slumber party. Anthony left me there and went hunting. I decided to go with Aunt Lori and help her finish some of her Christmas shopping while the kids were at Caroline and Gary's. We got some shopping done but it was all overwhelming. We picked up the kids and headed back to the house. Molly and I watched Elf while Aunt Lori went to do some more shopping and Uncle Matt was on his way home. I was a party pooper and fell asleep at like 8:30. On Christmas Eve Aunt Lori took me home and I started getting ready for Christmas with the Kehn's (Anthonys Mom's side of the family) in Salt Fork. Anthony got off work at 3 and we headed to Salt Fork. Everyone was already there because the party started at 1:00. We got tons of Congrats and the most common comment we have heard is "Its about time!"

After his family we left to go to my great Aunt Kayes and stayed there until we went to midnight mass at St. Thomas. After church we went home and had to clean because everyone was coming over for breakfast in the morning. I didn't go to bed until 3:30 a.m. and for the first time ever we all slept in on Christmas morning. We woke up at 10:15!
