Christmas Tree

Today Rissa and I put up our little Christmas tree and decorated it! She put the lights on... It only took two tries. The first time she ran out in the middle so she tried again again and got it!

We didn't have a little star or angel or anything so we had to improvise.

This is our little Flounder tree topper.

We used mini green bulbs, red icicles, and disney characters!

It looks a bit lopsided but we still love it.
This is us with our masterpiece!

Colds

So this weekend I started getting sick. I had a sore throat for a while and now I just have a stuffy/runny nose. I took some Nyquil last night and went to bed at 10. Well around 5am I woke up and could not fall asleep again. My nose kept running every time I laid down. It was too late to have more Nyquil. Finally I gave up and took a shower. Well I decided something needed to be dome about this cold. I wanted to take a bubble bath but didnt have any bubbles. So this afternoon I went to buy bubble bath at walmart and I discovered an amaizing invention....

Its a bath salt for colds and sinus congestion. It smelled like Vick's Vapor Rub and that always helps, so I figured it was worth a shot. That was the most relaxing part of my day, even though my cold didn'y go away it felt so nice and it cleared it up while I was in there.

Sunset

One thing I love to do and probably don't do enough is sit and look at the beautiful things God has created. I feel so lucky to live in Wyoming where we can see such beautiful things like mountains, and the stars, and especially sunsets. I took this picture not too long ago on my way home from Idaho and just seeing the trees and river and sunset all together was amazing. Pictures never do the real thing justice.
