Merry Christmas to you.

Merry Christmas everybody! I got to talk to my brother today!!! He told us when people find out he is from Mississippi they immediately spell it for him to impress him with their incredible spelling ability. He also said that while Seattle has the reputation for a lot of rain mostly is is a mist. He said if it actually rains for real a little everybody is like " OMG its really coming down!' To which he says " speak not of what ye know not" Anyways so this mist they have in Seattle they call " Seattle Spit" which is probably the grossest thing Ive heard in a while. YUCK. Despite that nastyness getting to talk to him made my day. Elise even talked to him for a second and said ' nafen! Hi FIVE!" and then hi fived the phone. I think that made his day. ( she is on a hi five kick, she wouldn't sit in Santa's lap but hi fived him insead)
IN other news! My husband got me a new wedding and engagement ring for Christmas! Its 1.3 carats and I feel like I have sprung my finger its so heavy. He wrote me a letter to go with my ring and had it engraved in the inside that says "past, present, future" Its beautiful and he did an amazing job, so needless to say I am most happy.
Elise got some "momo" shoes (elmo house shoes) she got some horseys which she has hardly put down some snow white and the seven dwarf action figures which she keeps calling "snowy white" a blues clues video which she has watched 3 times already and thats just a few things. I enjoyed wathcing Elise open her presents the best. She got so excited about everything. Especially the horses she got, she is on a horse kick now for some reason. Anyways we are about to go watch Angels and Demons which I got my mom for Christmas! Merry Christmas all!

Anniversary review

So our anniversary was pretty nice, Josh told me in his "romantic speech" that I requested which was only a sentence that " I love you more than steak" wow well for him that is a big deal, guess thats the best I can expect I didnt marry a poet. lol I got yellow roses my favorite, without having to ask for them. As my dad says Im training him, it takes time but he is getting it right.
I have no new funny Elise stories since i havent been around her. But Im sure I will before long.

Anniversary

So tomorrow is Josh and my 3 year wedding anniversary. I know for those people who have been married 25 and 30 years that isnt impressive but this is Josh we are talking about. lol ok seriously he isnt that bad or I wouldnt have put up with him this long. He is there for me when I need him and thats what counts. So tomorrow we have a whole day to spend without having to take care of Elise or go to school. This is something that NEVER happens. So this is exciting. Although neither of us have got anything for the other time just snuck up on us. Maybe I will get something better than a some flowers in the hatch of his car after he has put the bikes on and I have to climb over the back seat to get my own half wilted flowers like our first year. lol He is getting better in time. And I love him regardless. He tries bless him.

Every Color

So I work with this guy named Reese. He is really nice and kind and a great guy all around. He is also black. The other day Josh brought Elise up to the store to show me some stuff that he wanted to christmas. I was holding Elise and she kept wanted to play with Reese and reaching out for him and playing peekaboo and whatnot. She suddenly stopped and pointed to Reese and said " mommy, is a bwown one" ( brown one) both Reese and Jeremy ( also black ) froze with their mouths open. HORRIFIED! I am sooooooo glad she did that to someone who I knew and NOT some random person in public. Everybody was like " your baby is racist!" Reese said " Oh no she isnt! That is silly, she is two years old and she is making a color observation. and I am, in fact brown" lol
I told one of my managers about it today and he was like " you know when you hear this story your first reaction is to be like "what are they teaching this kid?!" then when you think about it you realize nobody is sitting at home going " #$%^ those BROWN people" and this is just an innocent kid making an observation." I thought this was hilarious and thought you all would enjoy it too.

Update on Nathan

I thought I would tell you about my brother. He has been out on his mission 6 months now and has 6 baptisms under his belt. I dunno about you, and maybe im biased and what not but I think that is pretty impressive. He also has told me that he was wondering what everbody was talking about when it comes to how much rain washington state gets but as soon as it started to get cold it rains constantly and that he expects to see a member of the Cullen family the sun hasnt been out hardly at all. Anyways I know this is short and much more boring that usual but I have to go to class now.

Chwismas twee

Yesterday we starting trying to put up Christmas stuff. Last year my mom bough Elise a little "precious moments" nativity scene. I put it up for her in the normal formation. She didnt like it and rearranged them all. I kept trying to tell her this is baby Jesus and this is Mary and Joseph etc. But she kept just saying " id da baby, id got pajamas, id got a pillow" then after inspecting one of the wise men closely and noticing the shape of the box that his gift was in she told me that "he got twesure" Then the next time I asked he had a mailbox. This particular wise man was also described to me by my toddler as " dis one bwown" lol Her daddy is worried about that continuting in her assesment of actual humans and not porcelin figurines. In this nativity scene Joseph has a latern on a stick. As much as I tell her other wise she is determined that that lantern is a bird house. As Josh put the Christmas tree up she kept exclaiming " id a cwismas twee!" And because I thought that was so cute i asked her again what it was and she said ' id a twee!" then I asked her which kind of tree and she sat and thought for a min and then said " id a gween twee!" lol This kid says something hilarioius everday. Over the weekend Elise and I went with my dad to Tupelo to see his parents. On the way back we went through a McDonalds drive through to get some grub. Elise kept hollering " pway pway pway mommy!" When I told her there was no place to "pway" at this McDonalds she said "pway, outside mommy" like " DUH!" lol Anyways I have to go to class now hope you enjoyed my funny baby stories.
