Our first adventure to get our Christmas tree will be one we will never forget! I have always thought it just wasn't right to put up Christmas until Thanksgiving was over, but this year I let it slide. I was scheduled to work Thanksgiving day and then that Friday and Saturday. So we decided to get our Tree and decorations up early. About a week before Thanksgiving Nate realized we could go cut our own tree this year which means he could buy him a saw! All week he kept reminding me and planning out when to get it, where to go, and where to put it in the apartment. It was so funny to see him like this, he was like a little boy! So we decided to go Monday, the day before the BLIZZARD OF 2010. I was getting ready and Nate was laughing at me because I was getting all my snow stuff and gloves and boots. He thought for sure there would only be a few inches up there. Well I just have to say I WAS RIGHT!! We got up on Cedar Mountain and there was so much snow! We couldn't even pull off the road anywhere because they plowed all the snow up and well they were closed for the winter. We got up there and started searching, we finally decided to pull off the road and just go hike a little. Well with snow up to our hips and Nate in Levi's we didn't go to far found one! Packing that tree out was a workout. We get back to the truck and we could not find our tag anywhere. We finally figured we had our receipt and if we got pulled over that is what we would show them. We did not get all the way up there and hike that much in the snow to not get a tree!! The whole way home we could not stop laughing and talking about it. We got it home and it was perfect!! We got a big thing of 101 Christmas balls, well long story short we didn't even use 50! There is nothing better than coming home to a bright little tree and knowing the great story behind it. This tree has given us memories we will never forget! Nate said next year all summer he is going to start scouting for a tree so we have some idea where to go next year! He is so funny, and felt like such a man which his $10 Home Depo saw! I just love him so much! 
We got so into the Tree business we went and got Nate's parents a tree the next day! It was a lot more work than our little tree, We had to hike quite and bit and it took us I bet 45 minutes to get back to the truck because of all the snow! We helped Shirley set it up and it looks great! We are looking forward to next year already! We might as well go into the Christmas tree business!
