Anniversaire

Today, December 19,2010, Jameson Jackson and I celebrate 1 year of marriage. In a tragic accident, our anniversary photos met a dismal end in Jameson's broken phone. Consequently, there will be no photos in this post. In a nutshell, we got a room (the same one we had for our first night as a married couple) at Little America. We took tracks downtown to wander around Temple Square to see the lights. We also meandered around the Galavan Center and looked for a book store that might be open til all hours that was within walking distance. There wasn't one, so we walked back to the hotel. We then went to breakfast at Village Inn in the morning, where I enjoyed my favorite breakfast: crepes (also known as really really thin pancakes).

All that said, I think that today would be the best day to list the top ten things that I love about my husband:

1. This is slightly selfish, but I love Jameson because he cares so much about my happiness. If I am not happy, neither is he. And he will do what he can to make me happy.

2. I love that he still talks about the time he made me dinner. This happened when we were still dating.

3. He takes me to haunted houses.

4. He listens to my mindless chatter.

5. He is a righteous person who has the same goals as I do.

6. He likes long naps.

7. He plays an awesome instrument (meaning the drums). It makes me feel like I am married to a rock star.

8. He has the same guilty conscience that I do.

9. He likes silly adventures.

10. We have so much fun together. Yay for fun! I love you Jameson!!

Festival of Trees

This last Saturday, Jameson and I got some tickets to go and see the Festival of Trees at the Southtowne Expo Center. For those of you who are unaware, the festival of trees is a fund raising event in which hundreds of trees are decorated in different ways, then put up for auction to benefit the American Cancer Society. It was so fun to see all the different decorations and it definitely put me in the spirit of the season. Here are a few of my favorites:

Cinderella -- even the glass slippers -- pretty cool! Also this reminds me of the house in Lander that always has blue lights up at Christmas

They had some that were Night Before Christmas, but this was my favorite Halloween-themed Christmas Tree

This is Jameson next to a tree heralding his alma matter: Utah Valley University

Anne of Green Gables -- you will forever remind me of Cami

Winter Wonderland -- so Pretty!

This is so incredibly cute -- especially the title. It makes me think of the children's book Owl Moon. And my Dad.

This reminds me of my brother Rob. I'm not sure why.

Turns out, money really does grow on trees . . .

Needless to say, Jamie and I had a blast looking at these. Of course, we also didn't make it through all the trees. They kind of began to run together. Oh another princess tree, oh another classic christmas tree . . . . you get the idea. We went down every aisle, but we didn't really see every tree. Anyway, it was amazing to see how much everyone was willing to give for Christmas! It was inspiring and oh so very much fun!

Good Books to Read: Owl Moon by Jane Yolen (also a great fantasy writer)
