This blog is for a birthday girl...I don't think you can guess who. But I wanted to make sure she knew we were thinking about her lots! Just czeching on you, Em! haha, I'm so funny...

20 years ago today...

Emily was BORN! Happy Birthday, Em-Cat!
I hope you know that your friends haven't forgotten you. I've been trying to get some time all day today to make a super-duper Emily-worthy birthday blog, but all in vain. I'm booked up every night except Friday and Saturday nights. It's kinda sad. But anyway, fun things are on their way...And I will still dedicate a page to you even though I can't do it this very moment(well, it is really what I am doing, but it's not a cool page). Love you and miss you a grazillion times!

The Tree Hunt

It seemed but a snowy dream ago, the day we found our tree. We knew it had to be ours at first glance. The beauty, the grandeaur, the way the snow glistened from it's branches.....the Charlie Brown Christmas Tree had been found!

I spent about five days in Montana with Aaron and his family over Christmas break. Aaron, Andrew and I were given the responsibility of finding the perfect tree. Andrew made the executive decision that the Charlie Brown Tree just didn't cut it. Needless to say Aaron and I were crushed.
Back at the Shelton residence they call me the tree whisperer. I silently wandered the skinny path that lead to an unexpecting tree. It called my name. I stopped and looked to my right through the branches to see a little clearing in the woods where it stood. dun dun dun...

And that's all she wrote...
