Well People it’s official we just bought our tickets to come back to Wisconsin last night. We will be back to Wisconsin Dec. 28-Jan 5. We are so excited to be back and see family and friends.. It’s gonna be different not being home for any of the Holidays, but we will be ok celebrating together. Thanks Giving day we are going over to my other family (friends I’ve known FOREVER that live here in Colorado)house for lunch then probably come home after so I can get some rest since I have to work 11:30pm Thanks Giving night until 9:30Am the next morning. Should be interesting. On Friday Gil and I are gonna be putting up our Christmas stuff, I’m so excited, also I think on Friday we are gonna try to make a small little Thanksgiving dinner just the two of us, unless my Sister and Luke wanna come over and eat with us, I invited them so we will see.
Things are going well with us, Gil is still enjoying his job and the short drive to work and back home. My job is going well too, learning my job pretty quick and enjoying it so much more then fast food. I have been working by myself in the intimates, purses, and accessories area, can get a little boring working by yourself, but it’s nice at the same time. We are both staying busy with both of our jobs, I don’t work as much as he does, so he works harder than I do. We are both so very thankful for all the Blessing God has given to us over this past almost 1 Year of being married.. Crazy to think it’s already been this long sometimes it seems like forever. ;-)
So with our 1 year anniversary coming up I’ve been doing some thinking about it and our anniversary and what to do for gifts. I was talking to Gil and asked him if he would be interested in doing the Traditional Gifts I told him I think it would be fun. I asked my Sister and her future Husband if they would like to do it and I think they said No. Luke told me that not only do they have a Traditional one, but there is a Modern list as well, so my Sister looked up both of them and we read through it. Here is the list for the Traditional one.

What do you think? Do you think you would do this if you could go back and start all over for those who are already married, would you think this would be fun to do or not? Which one would you do the Traditional or Modern or mix both into the mixture?
