Our first Christmas as Man and Wife

Here are a few pics of our Christmas morning. We stayed in Logandale to have Christmas with the Bailey fam. We woke up aroung 6am and nobody else was up yet so we got to have our own Christmas together. It was great. I got some great stuff. A bike Stand/Trainer to make my bike into a stationary bike indoors. It's amazing. In the picture I am holding the old belt to my treadmill that Kirk gave me!! He bought it off of Craigslist and all it needed was a new belt and it runs great. IT IS SO AWESOME!! I love it. We have it set up in the garage right now but will be putting them both in our dining room as soon as we get our new tile down. My kitchen will also be our own little home gym. =)

These next pictures are Kirky's presents.


A couple days before Christmas I was in Bass Pro Shop getting my last minute gifts for Kirk when my Dad called. For weeks I had been wrestling with whether or not to buy Kirk a .45 pistol he wants so badly. It was way over our budget and wasn't the easiest thing to get my hands on so in the end I decided to just settle with the other gifts I had planned. Then I got that call. My Dad was at his friend's pawn shop and was looking at a Springfield XD 45 pistol. It was exactly what Kirk wanted. And since we know the guy I was able to get it at a really decent price (still over budget mind you). I sat in Bass Pro Shop running through the scenario in my head. What would be Kirk's reaction on Christmas morning? Can I go over the budget that much?

In the end I decided to go for it. However, for my safety I also decided not to give him any ammo. That way he couldn't shoot me for my budget plundering. =)

Until he unwrapped the gun I was stressed!!!

Don't worry though. He LOVED it!

And now for the best gift of all!

That's right.

A genuine BYU Pez dispenser.

The box may look a little damaged but do not fret. This is not due to any lack of care that BYU places in their shipping methods. It is a result of the "I hate BYU" dance Kirk had previously informed me he would perform on any BYU paraphernalia I gave him.
