Our 1st Tree

Day 7



When me and Matt got married, we bought a trailer on the USU campus. It was small. Our first Christmas we literally had no room for a tree. But, since you can't have Christmas without a tree... I took some of the garland that we used for our wedding decorations and attached it to the wall in the shape of a tree. Here is our cute little pretend tree from our 1st Christmas together.

Our Christmas Tree

Day 6



Well, we finally got our Christmas tree up and decorated. (We can always get it up early, sometimes it just takes us a while to get it decorated.) This year we we have a real tree for the first time. Thanks to Lynn and Darrell and Jessica who cut it for us from the mountains of Wyoming. And another thanks to them for finally bringing it to our house, so I didn't have to tie it to the top of my car. Oh, and also for cutting off the foot and a half at the bottom so it could stand in our living room. Let the Holidays begin!

My Nemesis

Day 5

When Matt was talking me into doing this blog, the original idea was to post a picture I had taken that day. I started looking around me to see what there was that I could take pictures of. I even started taking pictures. But then reading Matt's blogs about memories he had sounded like so much fun. I thought it would be good for me to finally write down memories, so I don't loose them for good. So I started out posting old pictures. But today I've got a new picture! (I'm sure you'll be soooo excited to see it.)



This is my alarm clock. My alarm clock is my new nemesis. We fight every morning. (Except sometimes Saturday.) I don't know why, but I have had a terrible time getting up in the morning. (I mean worse than usual, even for this time of year.) My alarm clock yells at me. I hit the snooze button. Most times it yells at me, and I hit it several times before I even wake up enough to realize that it's been yelling at me for half an hour. I have hit the snooze button so many times that my alarm clock is fighting back. My snooze button has actually stopped working. The clock will not stop yelling if I don't push the snooze in right spot. Now I have to hit it two or three times to find just the right place to get it to shut up. It's annoying to someone who just wants to sleep in peace. The other frustrating thing about this alarm clock is it's ability to put me to sleep. I can toss and turn trying to fall asleep for hours with no success. But, as soon as I hear that buzzing, I'm out cold. So, I'm just not a fan of my alarm clock these days. Curse you Kristy's alarm clock!

Why Logan?

Day 4



This is my son Logan. This is my disclaimer for his name. We did not live in Logan, Utah when he was born. We lived in Salt Lake. So, he's not named after the city. He also is not really named after Wolverine. (Although, I think that Hugh Jackman, who plays Wolverine, is very good looking.) I was teaching school when Logan was born. We didn't know if we were having a boy or a girl. We were trying to pick out names for both, but we were having a hard time coming up with boy names we both liked. My students ruined some of my favorite boy names. I couldn't give my own child a name that reminded me of a student I didn't get along with. But, I never had a student named Logan. And, Matt like the name too. So, we have Logan.

Great Grandma Anhder

Day 3



This is Grandma Anhder. She is Matt's Grandma on his mom's side. One of the best things about us moving back to Logan is that me and Logan got the chance to get to know Grandma Anhder better. She is such a sweet lady, and has such a fun personality and sense of humor. She was always good for a few laughs. Logan loved her, and she loved Logan. It was great to be able to visit her on a regular basis. I'm glad that I got the chance to know Matt's family better and see where he came from. We miss you Grandma! Happy Birthday!

Matt

Day 2




This is Matt. He is my husband. He is also the reason I am doing this crazy blog challenge. He's good at technology. Me, not so much. I think this whole blog thing might be a challenge for him. He will have to be my tech support until I get good at this. He doesn't really like being my tech support. I get impatient, and I always have weird things go wrong when I get on the computer. So, here's hoping that Matt can get through my year of blogging.

Me

Day 1

So, I have taken this challenge put in place by my husband, Matt, to post a blog everyday for a year. I don't think I'm much of a writer. But it has been fun to read blogs from other people that have accepted the challenge. After much encouragement, I have agreed to at least post picture a day. We'll see how it goes.





















This is me. I was born to Milton and Colleen Breinholt on December 3. (The year really isn't that important.) I'm the fourth of seven children. (That makes me the middle child. But that's a whole different post.) I was born and raised in Utah. I graduated from Utah State University (who beat BYU last night in basketball. And not just barely. Go Aggies!). I majored in Physical Education and minored in Biology. I taught PE and science at South Hills Middle School for 4 years. While I was teaching I coached the middle school girls basketball team for a couple years. (With Matt's help.) And I coached Track and Cross Country at Riverton High School. I guess I could keep boring you with information about me. But, I have 355 more days to do that. So I'll stop here for today.
