last saturday, john and i went and got the tree of my dreams. literally. i've been dreaming about this for quite some time now. who needs an air freshener in the home when you have a christmas tree? ahem. going and getting the tree just gets me into the christmas spirit so much. i love walking into the lot and knowing that when you walk out, one of these special noble pines is going to live in your family room for the next month. ah.... bliss. and, since i refused to turn on the lights, we got some slow-shutter pictures of the tree. so, rather than a picture of john and i standing in front of the tree, i gave you a little bit of a different approach.
in other news, i studied for about 8 hours today. not straight through, naturally, but collectively. i hope that it ends up being worth the effort. pathophysiology: you will be the death of me.
lately i have been reading my neighbor's daughter's blog. it has made me think a lot about my life and how lucky i am to be where i am. i have so few challenges compared to other people. sure, i am having to work my butt off to stay afloat in byu's nursing program, but other people really do have much greater challenges. i imagine that they will be eternally blessed for their faith, hope, courage, and love. if you want to look at her blog, (which i highly recommend) the link is here. if anything, it should make you grateful for the blessings you have, and help you admire the true Christ-like love and faith that this woman has for her children. i hope that one day i am able to show as much compassion and faith as she has.

i love your blog paige! it is so cute! and, isn't getting a christmas tree the best? i so remember the first year scott and i picked one out- we actually still have the part that scott cut to make it fit into the tree stand. (it probably has some weird bugs by now...) but there is nothing better than lit christmas trees! and, good luck studying! i don't know how you do it!!
