We were given an offer for discounted tickets so we went out to a NHL game between the Florida Panthers vs. the Nashville Predators.  It was a little cold but exciting to see!

Fashion Show

December 20, 2008

This past weekend St. Paul hosted a fashion show as a fundraiser for the teachers.  It is a very nice event held at the Marriott with a catered dinner.  It is the tradition that the new teachers are models.  In order to model, I had to go to an assigned store and have them find an outfit for me to wear.  The store that I was assigned to was for older women and was “high class”.  The dress I wore was $300 and the shoes were $300 as well.   (the heels were really high, especially for someone that doesn’t wear heels!)  I was also able to get my hair down by a salon in the area, which was a fun experience.

O Christmas Tree!

December 17, 2008

We left our tree and all of our Christmas decorations in storage.  Our original plan was to buy a little cheap tree, but when we got to Target we caught the Christmas bug:) We bought a 4 1/2 foot tree with lights, garland and some ornaments.  It helps brighten up the apartment and puts us in the Christmas spirit!  We wish everyone a wonderful Christmas season!

(Sorry, you might have to tilt your head.  I tried but couldn’t get it vertical)

Nebraska v Colorado Game

December 3, 2008

 

We were able to visit Steve’s family for Thanksgiving.  We even saw some snow!  We had a great time eating, playing Wii, and spending time with family.  One of the highlights of the trip was going to the Nebraska Colorado football game.  (Steve and I have actually never watched this rival game together.)  It was a great game for both sides and ended with a 57 yard field goal, a record for Nebraska!
