Happy Birthday!


Barrett's birthday was yesterday and I just wanted to write some of the amazing things he does for me. First, he always drops whatever he is doing to help me or to comfort me. Second, he is supportive of all the activities I am involved in. Third, he treats me with so much respect and makes sure to plan dates or time together. I could go on and on, but I am so grateful to have Barrett in my life. Anyone who knows him, knows that he puts everyone else first and quietly goes about doing good. I love you honey!

Decorating for our first Christmas

With the help of both our parents and their spare decorations, Barrett and I were able todecorate our small apartment for Christmas! We listened to Manheim Steamroller and worked together to make our place look like the Holidays.

Barrett's parents gave each of their kids a Christmas tree to put in the room and they give them one ornament each year. We were able to use this tree for our house.

This is the ornament they gave him this year! It's cute!


This is our makeshift fireplace for our stockings :)

Barrett's grandma made one of these for all her grandkids... it looks good next to our bookshelf.
