- Craig left on his mission. He gave a good farewell talk. I'm so proud of him.
We're so cool.
- Thanksgiving was at Grandma and Grandpa Decker's new house this year. We ate a lot, went on a walk and played Thanksgiving bingo. Jennie announced she's pregnant. Another cousin! :)
Look how big the Decker side is getting!
- I applied for BYU... Again... We'll see what happens. Maybe with all the freshman deciding to serve missions, I'll get in. *fingers crossed*
- Our house got egged... Yeah... I was ready to shoot someone; especially after it rained the next day and left the foulest odor.
- We made our own J-Dawgs and went bowling with the Brooks
Look at that intensity. Blue Steel.
- Michael's Christmas countdown was a success! Thank you everyone who participated. It made him feel really special.
- December 11th, my mom turned 45. (I think). We went to Pizza Pie Cafe to celebrate.
- I made a gingerbread house with my sister.
Yep. We're Pros.
- One of our neighbors did the 12 days of Christmas for us. We got things like: jello, toilet paper, candy and doughnuts. YES!
- Michael did the 12 days of Christmas for me. I got things like: a free back scratch, a free chick-flick movie night (popcorn included), and Recess candy bars. My husband's a sweetheart.
- We attended the Nelson Christmas Party.
- We had a karate Christmas Party. Where one of our students, Andrew Heap won the new Kindle Fire in a drawing. Guess who else came to our party. SANTA! I was sad, because Michael left before we could get a picture with him.
Santa and Andrew.
Also, while we were cleaning up after the party, Mr. Scott performed this awesome form with pom poms. This may or may not be the result from eating too many Christmas treats.
- Michael finished another semester at BYU. That boy is amazing!
- We survived December 21st, 2012!
- For my birthday, I got the stomach flu... and new boots. :)
- While I was sick, Michael got me Gatorade and I watched the 2nd season of Glee. (Glee's my guilty pleasure)
- Christmas eve, Michael took me to celebrated my birthday since I was sick on the actual day. We went to see Breaking Dawn pt. 2 and ate at Red Robin for lunch. That evening, we made a fancy dinner together.
- We woke up the next day, and it was Christmas! It was our first Christmas together as a married couple. We opened stockings from each other. Michael got me the new Taylor Swift album I've been wanting. Thanks babe! After that, we went to my parents house where we spent the rest of the day playing our new Wii games we got for Christmas. Michael and I got Mario Party 9 and Donkey Kong, and my sister got Just Dance 4.
Aww.. look at us in our Santa hats. :) Kitty got a chocolate kiss for Christmas.
- The two nights before Christmas, and the night after, Michael and I slept at his parents house. We were house sitting in addition to watching these two rascals, while they traveled to Idaho to spend time with the Cochrans.
Koda and I are actually becoming buds. Michael and I watched a movie, and he came and plopped himself on my lap.
At first I was dissapointed we wouldn't wake up in our own appartment Christmas morning, but it was actually really nice. It was like staying in a hotel. And I got to take a bath in their jetted tub. That made it all worth it!
- Michael and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary. I came home from work expecting Michael to be at karate, but he surprised me by taking the day off. This next sentence is a little graphic, so feel free to skip it. I walked in our appartment to find him lying on the living room floor with nothing but some batman underwear on. Ha ha. Yep, he surprised me alright. He got me roses and took me to see Les Miserables. It was the most amazing movie! I sat there mouthing the words to all the songs. If you have not seen that movie, watch it. Watch it now while it's in the theaters! It's definitely one that needs to be seen on the big screen. :) When the movie was over we went out to eat at Tucanos. I love my boy so much for making our anniversary such a fun day together. Thank you Michael Bear! It's been the best year of my life! (After Les Mis, I've been having a hard time deciding to listen to my new Taylor Swift album or the Les Mis soundtrack.)
- On the 29th, Chloe came over and we had a girls night! We went out to eat, watched a chick flick and made peanut butter bars. It was so good to spend some time with my bestie! I miss her! Her mom just had another baby girl. Her name is Aria; from what I've been told, aria is a musical term. She's going to be a musician, just like her big sis.
- That same night, Michael had a mans night. He went over to Scott's house. They watched a couple of UFC fights and played Starcraft. Ha ha.
- New Years Eve day I had to work. Not only did I have to open Hogi Yogi, but they closed early so I had to close too. Not only that, I was the only one scheduled! According to Kyle, he did it because in the past it's been really slow on New Years Eve day. Well let me tell you... it was NOT slow! It was one of the worst experiences of my life. On the bright side, people kept handing me ones. I made $13 in tips. Also, Michael, Rebekah and Richard came and helped me close, so I didn't have to stay there late.
- New Years Eve eve, we spent with the Brooks. We ate a yummy ham dinner, and played video games. We also lit a gingerbread house on fire and had party poppers. When 12 o'clock came around we all drank bubbly. I think my nephews had an easier time staying up than I did!
- New Years day, we both had work off! That never happens. Unfortunately, Michael woke up with a cold. Instead of going sledding with his family, we played Mario Party, got a pizza delivered and watched a redbox. Kimberly and Lance were sweet and brought us cinnamon rolls.
- One of our pipes froze. We went almost an entire day without running water. It's a lot harder than I would of imagined.
- Today, I got work off again! We trained this morning with Master Lawrence, and ate out a Chili's. Yum!
And with that, I'll conclude with this quote:
"Tomorrow I'll quit procrastinating."

Happy New Years Everyone!
