So we got a free Christmas tree from the military this year. Usually when we buy a tree the cut off the end for you.... well, they didn't and we forgot to, so a week after we got the tree it started dying. We thought we would leave it up and try to see how long it would last, but a couple days later it was looking pretty sad and ever time I touch it, it would start crumbling apart. So yesterday it a fit of rage I tore all the ornaments and lights off of it and threw it in my front yard!! I was not ever happy! So I called Mario on the phone and told him, "I just want to let you know ahead of time that I torn down the tree down and threw it in the front yard!!" he then said, "I was going to get a new tree and bring it home for you. I almost cried! What a great husband I have! So Mario and I thought that we would teach that old dead tree who was boss so this is what we did to it! It took 1 match and less than a minute. I took pictures every 10 seconds, that just shows you why you shouldn't keep a dead tree in your house!!! So we got a new tree, it's 8' 9"!! It's huge!! Maybe a little to big for the room, but I LOVE IT!!!
Also, for those of you who know me know that I was really nervous to paint the house, we've been here for 3 years and not painted one single wall!! I just don't know how to do interior design.. so my awesome husband said one day that he was sick of our plain boring walls so he went to the store, got the supplies and the paint and started with the living room! I love it! He spend 5 hours doing it, but it was totally worth it!! Thanks honey!!
BTW, we also got a new TV, so nice to have something bigger than 20"!!! Thank you reenlistment bonus!! Have a Merry Christmas!
