CHRISTMAS!!

I for some reason i didnt take alot of pics this christams i think i was just enjoying being married to much! Travis got me a wii, a blender ,and in-soles for my shoes. I got him new work shoes a wallet and jazz calender. Some of the other things we got were wii games he got jazz basketball shorts and i got all the pixar short films on dvd. This christmas season we also went to the zoo lights and to the thanksgiving point lights i got a few pics of those nights.....

Our first christams tree! We were going to buy a real one but becouse of the windows we were kinda tight on money. Travis mom said that she had an extra white one we could have, we went to go get it and it was yellow!!!!! So travis and his little bro went and looked at his grandpas house and came back with a 3 foot tree.... So we decided to put the taller yellow tree up for this christmas but saved money to buy one on sell after christmas. We ended up buying a $280 tree for just a little over $80. It is prelit and green!! Im so excited to see it decorated this christmas!! oh yeah!! that yellow tree is now probily somewhere at the dump!!!

New windows!!!

We decided in november that we NEEDED new windows in our house they were leaking so bad that our house never got warm. We did some reaserch and found out if we got them in before the 31 of dec. That we would get a 1500 $$ tax credit. So we went for it we had two different companies come out to our home one was a private contractor and the other was sears. The private contractor took his measurements and said he would call us with in the next few days. The sears guy on the other had gave us a 2 hour lecture on exactly what all our aotions were and why they worked so well and their price was really pretty good.Then he gave us our estimait right right then and there it was !$20,000!!! by the time he left it was down to about $13,000 but we did not have that kind of money! The next day the private contractor called his estimate was about $6,000 witch was alot more affordable!! we decided to go with him and got the windows installed just a few weeks before christmas and just in time for the tax credit.
