Rob had this great idea to cut down our first Christmas tree together. The drive to Ogden sounded simple enough.... Who really knows where Farr West Utah is? Needless to say we had to stop and ask for directions. Not sure if we picked the worst gas station in town, but we all heard some horrible language. We found the tree farm and decided that Utah does not grow trees that are worthy in the Rolen house. We drove back to Salt Lake and found one at M&T's lot in Sandy. I had to negotiate the price a lot, but we ended up with a 14" ft tree. (we had to cut a few inches off to stand it up in the house) We had great laughs and a lot of smiles. It was the perfect start to our first Christmas together.

I'm so glad to see that you have joined the world of blogging... It is VERY addicting!!!

I'm sad to hear that you didn't find a tree to cut, we go every year down by Price and it is a tradition I wouldn't trade for anything. Either way, you have a beautiful tree!

Talk to you soon! ~Andrea
