Merry Christmas!!!!

In case I don't get to see all of you I want to make sure to wish you Happy Holidays!!! I would put a cute picture like all the christmas cards we keep getting but I'm afraid we don't have one. Maybe some day when we have kids.

Christmas present idea for the ironing challenged


Yes we are still alive. We have been really busy and I'll be honest, not really had anything exciting to post. Poor Nick came to bed at 5:00 this morning and my alarm went off at 5:15. We had 15 minutes of quality cuddling. I've been meeting Nick for dinner up at school since I was on call the last two nights - ahh, kind of crazy! He has yet to come home at a normal hour if at all, I feel so bad - he works so hard! Just a few more weeks of craziness this semester! In the mist of the madness I had to post about my steamer (I know not a very exciting post, sorry, but I keep using it and just have to share). 3 years ago for Christmas my parents gave us a clothes steamer. Now for most people this might seem like a silly present but I almost cried. I do not like to iron. Really do not like to iron. My mom is an ironing manic. She even irons underware, towels, sheets, you get the idea, and everything looks like it just got back from the dry cleaner (my dad is amazing at it too). Apparently the ironing gene skips a generation. Even when we were dating Nick had to iron for me. He would come over early before church and help me. I know sad, I can handle most domestic things but I can't seem to get the hang of ironing. Even when I do iron whatever I iron ends up looking about the same, I just don't get it! Anyway, the steamer must be one of the best inventions ever. My clothes have never looked so good. So for anyone looking for a last minute present for Christma I highly recommend it! If anyone has any other secrets about how to have ironed looking clothes without ironing I would love to hear them!
