first christmas...tree

this was our first christmas married. cute, i know! we decided that we would like to have a christmas tree in our little apartment. we picked out this lovely at the tree place and strapped it to richard (whitney's camry). we thought it looked so funny driving around with the tree on top of the tiny car...so we went to in-n-outs drive through! i thought everyone would say something about the tree, so i stephen and i made a bet to see if anybody would say anything. stephen bet not, i bet so. stephen won in the end with the final score of 2(no mention) to 1(mentioned). anyways, we drove home...put up the tree...and loved looking at it all december long.

Ideas Anyone?

So I absolutely hate this huge blank space on the wall above our television. I need some help...any ideas? (sorry the picture is so small)

After much hard work and many hours of assembling, Stephen and I have finally settled into our cozy new apartment. Thanks to our parents, siblings, and friends, we were able to get all the necessities for our place. We appreciate all the help!
