It's (finally) Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas!

It's true. Yesterday was the first day that I've been able to put up our Christmas decorations. I have been dying to put them up, but life has been way too busy! We've had finals, a living room full of boxes, and preparing the Nelson house for everyone to move in. Thankfully, everything's coming together very nicely. We're hoping to get our very first Christmas tree on Wednesday!! I'm really excited!


A few ornaments that we had at our wedding reception.





Here are some of the things Jonathan and I have found as we've been going through his boxes.


There's my cute husband during a cross country meet.
Here's Jonathan looking adorable!
This was in Jonathan's room when he was a boy.
A Star Trek card I found about an episode we just recently saw.

I love this quote, but I felt like the background was lacking. It's rather placid and I just don't think it fits. So, I started thinking about what would fit better. My thoughts ended up on the old Provo Tabernacle.  source I don't really remember it from the various visits to Utah growing up, but I remember five years ago when it caught on fire. Before the fire, it was a useful building. It was used for community events as well as for Stake Conferences. It was shocking when it burned. source For about a year, no one was sure what would come of the shell of the building. Then it was announced that it would be transformed into a temple. There are times when our lives burn into ashes and all that is left is a shell of the vision we had of the future. It takes time, but our...
