"Christmas Celebration" it was one of the best days of our lives. How can I forget it? It was our first Christmas together here in United States. Scott, myself with our pet ‘pewee’ celebrated our Christmas moments together in our simple ‘home-sweet-home’ here in Colorado Springs. I remembered yesterday Scott woke me up with a lot of kisses and hugs. How sweet!!! After that , he greeted me a ‘Merry Christmas’ and then said " Baby I thank you for having you in my life, I’m so glad you’re here with me right now and I love you so much." I just replied to him by saying " I love you too Baby, you’re the best thing that happened to my life, and I’m happy too that we are together now this Christmas Day". When I was still there in the Philippines, I been waiting for those moments that we can be together, in celebrating different ocassions.  Scott and I like celebrating different ocassions together. You know just being together and enjoying each other companies. It’s like a simple things of our lives that makes both of us happy. In that day of Christmas, we both opened our Christmas gifts for each other. I opened up my Christmas gifts first and then Scott opened up his presents. It was one of the exciting moments of our lives. That’s why we took a couple pictures of us while opening up our Christmas presents as a remembrance. Scott is really a sweetheart!!! He gave me few clothings like sweater, panjama set, shirt and my ‘cutey’ snowflakes teddy bear. I think, I’ve got enought gifts received this Christmas. He also purchased me a ’scrapbookmax’ software because he knows that I like scrapbooking. In addition to that, part of his gifts for me was the snow boots he bought for me. I can’t really ask for more. We just have a simple life but I can say that we are so happy together. We always compliment each other every once in a while. And since Scott like watching movies. I bought him a couple of Dvd movies as my gifts for him. We also bought a Christmas present for our cat ‘pewee’. We bought him a collar with bell so we can always hear him walking around the house..lol..Our kitty is part of our family too. He seems like a human being for both of us. We like taking care of him and playing with him. Because he is our family, that’s why we love him. After the opening of our gifts, we went outside and took a few pictures in the snow. We have a ‘white Christmas’ here in Colorado Springs. Because during Christmas Day, we have a little bit showering of snow again after the snow blizard passed here in CO the other day. We just played in the snow just a little bit because it’s very very cold outside..lol..As in Scott and I were both covered of winter clothings. He also did a little bit fixing and cleaning of his car most especially the windshield because of the snow. After a few minutes while waiting for Scott to be finish on what he is doing, I just started cleaning up the house most especially the kitchen because we are going to cook pretty soon for our Christmas dinner. Scott is really a good husband. He is the one who cooked for our Christmas dinner. He said that he likes cooking for me.. for his wife. I can’t really ask for more. I’m so proud of him and he is really a good cook. We have some steaks, ham, mashed potatoes, macaroni cheese, garlic bread and shrimp sautee in butter which is my favorite..lol..mmmm..yummy! I do really love it!!! It’s because I like eating seafoods. The steaks and ham were both good too. It was one of my best dinners again like in ‘Thanksgiving’. We were both full after our feast..lol..Since Scott already did the cooking part so time for Ashley for cleaning up..lol..We just like helping each other as always, as husband and wife. Of course taking pictures will not be forgotten too. We also talked on the phone to our families and freinds here in USA and Philippines to greet them a ‘Merry Christmas and Happy New Year’. In fact, I talked to my family for an hour or so because I’ve missed them so much most especially this Christmas Season. My husband talked to them too which is so nice because we are family. We received a lot of greeting cards too this Christmas Season. It just so nice to know that we’ve got a lot of families and freinds here in USA and in the Philippines. We do really appreciated all of them. Christmas Season is time of giving and sharing too. It’s a time of joy and peace. A time of love and forgiving. It was really nice to celebrate this special ocassions of us together with your love one. Anyway, after we finished eating our dinner, we then started watching Dvd movies together. While we are both keeping ourselves warm inside the house. And before we go to bed in that Christmas Day, Scott said this to me " Baby this is the Best Christmas that I ever had in my life"…with you…

We’ve got ’snow blizard’ here yesterday in Colorado Springs. The wind was blowing so fast and strong. It’s all white outside covered with a lot of snow. It looks like a ‘dessert’ that you can’t see the surrounding at all. The snow kept showering and it was very foggy outside. Mostly of the roads here in Colorado Springs were all closed. The same thing with the few Businesses/Establishments here. In fact the Governor here was declared CO in state of emergency yesterday. I’m sure it will be a big news all over the States. Scott didn’t work for two consecutive days because T-Mobile was closed. They don’t have work because of the snow storm. It’s really better to stay at home because it’s kinda dangerous outside. It’s still very cold outside up to now and the snow was really thick. Yesterday since it’s not a good idea to go outside, I’m just watching the showering of snow outside from the windows inside our house. Scott also took a couple of pictures of the snow blizard outside from our windows inside the house. I can say it’s pretty but omg…it’s dangerous to go outside there..lol..We will definitely have a ‘White Christmas’ here in Colorado Springs. We just heared in the news before that during ‘Christmas Day’ there will be a showering of snow here again. Scott and I just kept ourselves warm inside the house yesterday. It’s all good that we have furnace and heaters in the house to keep both of us warm. We were just relaxing inside the house for the two days, just ate and then watched movies. Today we just did some baking of brownies and making some Jell-O with fruit cocktails for this coming Christmas Eve of ours. Another good thing is for the two days that Scott didn’t work, it was also paid. T-Mobile really knows how to treat their employees every once in a while. And to the mere fact that we’ve got ’snow storm’ here in CO. We tried to went outside tonight and omg…we’ve seen few cars stranded and stucked in every parts of the roads because of that snow storm. I’m kinda worried about going out tonight but I trust Scott and he knows how to drive car in the snow. Fortunately, we came back in our house safely and we just went in the corner store though so it’s not bad at all. Hopefully the weather tomorrow will be better than yesterday and today. It’s kinda hard for Scott to go to work tomorrow because of the snow. It’s slippery and thick. He knows how to handle it though and he is always driving very carefully. Few of our family and freinds called us also on the phone and checked up on us. They just showing their concerns about us but we were both doing fine and safe in our home here. But we really appreciated it. At the same token, even though we’ve got ’snow blizard’ here at least Scott and I spent our time together. It’s just a simple things of our lives that make both of us happy, as husband and wife.

Christmas is coming to town. Everybody are excited for this coming Holiday. Christmas Season is very important occassion. It’s a time of Peace and Joy. Mostly everyone are looking forward for this Season. It’s a time of Hope and Forgiveness. It’s a time of sharing and giving. It’s all everything!!! In fact, Scott and I are both excited for Christmas Season too. We already got a Christmas Tree decorated with different ornaments inside the house. Last weekend, we were both enjoying decorating our house with a lot of Christmas stuffs. I like what we did with our Christmas Tree. It was really came out pretty!!! We’ve got different Christmas ornaments hanging in our windows and from our doors. It was really enjoying decorating!!!We’ve got different Christmas decors like garlands, santa claus, wreath, santa socks, bells, deer, angel etc…in the house right now. It’s just a nice feeling knowing that Christmas is coming. I like listening to Christmas songs every once in a while too most especially while I’m busy cleaning our house. We just bought a couple of Christmas music Cd’s in waliword "Walmart" before. And of course part of it is the ’snow’, so that it’s white Christmas.  I like watching the showering of snow outside from our window inside the house. ‘Christmas Eve’ will be another feast again. Since we already cooked turkey last "Thanksgiving Day". This time we are going to have some ham and steaks. Dessert will not be forgotten too. I can feel the essence of Christmas now. I also got the list of all the persons whom I’m going to send Christmas cards. Just to keep in touch with them and letting them know how valuable they are for both of us. Like I’ve mentioned before Christmas is giving. Our living room and kitchen are full of Christmas decorations now. It just show that we like celebrating Christmas together. This is our first Christmas together like our Birthdays and Thanksgiving Day. It will be interesting for both of us, Scott and I. This is definitely most curious…indeed! We are both looking forward for this coming Christmas. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to All!!!
