Yay Christmas!
Yay, I was so happy to see you had both blogged!! It makes my day. I miss you both terribly and I'm super sad you won't be here for Christmas Hailey! The Thanksgiving holiday ended up being way busy for me, so I'm not sure that either of us could've found the time to spare.
I love Christmas, too! I love the lights and the smells and the feelings. Everyone is nicer around Christmas, the snow is beautiful and I just love the holly, jolly season. We put our tree up the week of Thanksgiving. :) You can talk about it all you want, Danielle! I don't mind at all!!
Chris and I are happy. We're not your typical newly weds, all googly eyed and lovey dovey, but then I've never been that way, so I guess it all falls into place. We are in love and happy and we have a house and that's the important part!
We've been having car trouble too, Hailey. It's scary and causes me to panic! Fixing them is expensive, and we really don't have the time or money to get them taken care of, but we've been blessed too and it all works out in the end. It's scary to think that someone can sell you a car that's faulty like that. I'm glad you are okay and that it is being remedied! Miracles happen!
A split family is not fun! I'm sorry you didn't get to spend Thanksgiving with your family, Danielle but it sounds like work got in the way of that. I'm not sure where you are all working now, but last I heard you were in retail and we all know that means everyone works for Black Friday.
Speaking of which, I went Black Friday shopping for the first time, and boy was that an experience...haha. I'm not sure if I'll go again. I'm not ruthless enough to fight to the death over a Blu-Ray or sweater. That just seems silly to me.
Anyway, I hope you both have wonderful weeks and your apartments/homes are decorated in the Christmas fashion. I would love to see you both if the opportunity presents itself. I miss my friends!

I love Christmas too!!!
I love Christmas too!!!
Michael and I went home for Thanksgiving. Rhonwen and Aiden were super stoked and so we spent as much time with them as possible. Sorry Berg, I barely even had time to go see my dad...but the point is, I can't go home for Christmas this year so we celebrated with Rhonwen and Aiden early. We decorated the tree and then each opened a present. I left the present Rhonwen gave me on the kitchen counter and she was devastated when she found it :( I felt AWFUL!!! Don't worry she forgave me. Michael got drum anywhere drum sticks that play the beat out loud, I got a batman action figure, and then everyone else got gifts from Michael and me. So that was exciting. Now we will be staying here for the holidays and working out butts off but celebrating Christmas day with my in-laws, however I believe that my gift from them will be them paying for my car..or at least I hope so.
Oh, so on the car topic, my car is broken. It has been having battery issues since forever ago and that really sucks. So I haven't been able to drive it because I can't get it to start so of course, as it is getting cold I get stuck riding my bike or hitching a ride with Michael when I can. This is normally not a big deal except that my new job, tutoring, and school rule my life so I am running around all day every day. Anyway, so right before break, Michael's mom and dad came and took my car and took it to a mechanic to get it diagnosed. The problem was that the security system in the car was put in wrong by the previous owner and was draining the battery. I don't have a beeper or anything so I haven't even used the stupid system. So that was annoying, but it was a HUGE blessing! Warning, I am about to go testimonial!! Ok so the ball thingy that holds the axial in place and something like that was completely broken. At any moment while driving the entire structure of the car could have fallen apart causing a big crash. The mechanic said it was a miracle that it hadn't already happened. Anywho, so without the dead battery issue I would have never known because when I asked the dealer about the sound the car makes they told me it was the style of tires...dirty rotten liars! But that isn't the point, the point is that I am incredibly blessed and I never thought I deserved to be but apparently my life is worth sparing, yay me!!!
Ok, so this is really long winded so I will cut it short. I love and miss you both and we need to get together asap so y'all should spend xmas here!! :) I have plenty of space and I would even cook for you!
Oh and I agree with the sentiment that we shall stay close forever!!!

I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!!!
Hello Ladies!
I apologize for not replying very quickly last week. But it's SO good to hear from both of you and that you're doing well. I miss you both more than you know! It's been so long since we've all been together...but despite that I still feel like we're close friends. Berg is right, I plan on staying close for a very long time, no matter what!
Hailey - congrats on making it a year! I can't believe that was a whole year ago. My goodness that went by fast. How long do you have left for school? Two semesters? Or...I guess just next semester? How was seeing your family on Thanksgiving?!
Berg - How are you and Chris? I follow whatever you post on facebook and you sound happy! I was so happy I got to come home for your wedding, it was great! Still working with the same people? How is the house?!
Well as my title declares - I love Christmas. Christmas just makes me so happy! My roommate (Chelsie) and I just finished decorating our living room. Complete with a real tree (that smells live heaven!), glitter ornaments and plenty of lights, it's our little own winter wonderland!
I'm pretty sure everyone around me is about ready to smack the Christmas out of me because I talk about it so much. And act like a giddy little child when I do.
School has been good. This has been the best semester in college so far! Not because of grades really, but because of the classes I'm taking. I'm finished with generals and I'm taking all journalism classes this semester. Also I've started writing for our school newspaper, The Statesman, and I've made some very good friends there. I'm involved in a couple other extra-curricular's and am working my usual three jobs. People ask how I do it...I don't know, but I'm happy! I like to be busy.
I have two more semesters and then I have a couple of places I'd really like to move - both for internship work and grad school. I'm thinking about three different places - DC, Seattle and San Diego.
Man the time has flown. A year ago I was in such a different place than I am now. Still with Tim (whoa...), not very happy, blah blah blah. A lot has changed since then! I really have come to love Logan. I've got a couple jobs with great coworkers and I've made some really really good friends.
Although I miss you both dearly! I'm completely on board for getting together this break! I'm getting a whole week of vacation! From Dec. 25 to Jan. 1. And I'll most likely be in Idaho. Berg - my family hasn't really moved yet. My dad did to work. But Kris is finishing his senior year and my mom is working on selling the house and all of the fun work that comes with that job. So my family is kind of split up right now, which is why I stayed in Logan for Thanksgiving (and work...).
That was off topic. Point is, I'll be in St.A for Christmas and for many days after! I'm looking forward to seeing both of you! :) LOVE YOU!

Holiday fun fun fun
Hey ladies!!!
Bergen I am so glad that you blogged! I miss you both dearly!
I am so glad that your marriage is going well. I felt like a complete hermit after I got married just because I Michael was the only person I wanted to be with. Also, friends just kind of expect that married people fall off the face of the earth. But mostly I choose to be a hermit..and I don't have too many friends here or time for hanging out.
School sucks, I am basically failing...but if I can get through this semester and next then I am done! WOOHOO!!!
I got a new job. I now work for Nu Skin with Michael! That's exciting for me...
Ooh and I am going home for Thanksgiving!!! We leave tomorrow night as soon as Michael gets off work and we are staying through Sunday! I haven't been home since your wedding Berg and I am in serious need of some fam time.
Danielle how are you doing? I haven't seen facebook updates or anything from you...you back in Africa?
Also, if we are all in St. A for Thanksgiving...we should PARTY!! :)
Well..that's it for me!
Love and miss you both!

Happy Holidays!
Hello!
The holidays are just around the corner and I felt like blogging! How are you doing? Any great and wonderful plans for Thanksgiving?
Hailey---Happy Anniversary! It's crazy to think it has been a year already! Although, it's already been over 2 months for me...so time flies! I'm glad you are still super happy and in love! :)
Danielle--What are your plans for Thanksgiving? I assume your family has already moved. Will you be traveling to them this holiday season to visit and have family time?
I hope you are both having the time of your life in Utah, studying hard, finish finals with a bang and have fun plans for the upcoming holidays. All is well here in Idaho. I miss you both a lot. Being married is fun, but not having friends outside of that marriage is hard! Amanda and I need to hang out more, since she's pretty much the only one left here! She is going to be a nanny in DC next year, so she won't even be here for long. :( It makes me sad, but happy for her!
I wish we could all get together for our crazy fun Christmas party. I miss you guys! (I know, redundant!) I feel like we are all separating and doing our own thing and I love that and hate it. I hope we all stay friends in the years to come. Through the marriages, babies, families, moving and everything--you'll always be my best friends!
Chris and I are settling in nicely. Our house is finally feeling like a home and it's fun to put everything together and decorate. We started watching LOST and we are totally addicted. I love netflix!
I miss you both terribly and want to hear all about your lives!
