Christmas Time and Temple Square :)

December 14, 2014

Alright so it's always a family tradition with my family to go see the Temple Square Christmas lights every year before Christmas. My brother Greg has been serving a mission down at Temple Square and each year around Christmas time he gets to help put up all of the Christmas lights! And he LOVES it!! It's really important to him that we go! He loves showing off what he's helped out with more than anything:) And this year he was even more excited because I brought Nate with me and my family!

 

 

Haha yikes..this is the first time that Nate is actually hanging out with my family. He's met them before but he's never spent a lot of time with them. I was really nervous to have him spend time with my whole family! And not only was it just my family...but my aunt, uncle, and cousins came too! Haha so he was getting to meet the whole family ;)

 

On our way down to the Temple, we were riding down with my family and all of a sudden Greg says, "OOOH NO IT'S THE FREE FART ZONE!!!" hahaha Nate was so confused and he started laughing but I knew he didn't know what Greg was talking about.

 

Okay.. so every time we pass through Salt Lake and it stinks, Greg likes to call it the "Free fart zone" haha! He's such a stinker. Nate thought that was hilarious and he was starting to warm up with my family :)

 

When we got there, Nate stepped out of the car and my Aunt looked him up and down and said: "You are sooo tall!" My Aunt and Uncle started asking Nate questions and I was soooo nervous. I didn't want them to scare him away! 

 

There was nothing to be nervous about though, my family all loved him and they approved ;) My little cousin came up to me while we were walking through the lights, pulled me away and said, "Michelle...I approve." And my mom just kept saying the whole night "I love him. You better keep him around!" haha my family loved having him there!

 

Everyone was joking around the whole night (teasing me) and they kept making those little side comments... The side comments that me and Nate always get...

 

- "Wow he's SO tall!!"

 

- "Michelle how do you even kiss him??? You're too short!"

 

- "Did he have to bend down and kiss you for the first time??"

 

- "Nate did you know that she was this short when you asked her to the dance?"

 

- "Nate do you want Michelle to stand on the bench for your picture?"

 

 

Yeah my family LOVES to tease me haha and if you're ever going to ask us these questions, just know that you're not the only ones who have asked us these questions. We've only been dating for 3 Months and we get it almost on a daily bases ;) But what can I except? I'm 5'3 and he's 6'6 haha we are definitely asking for it ;)

 

 

 

I love this cute boy of mine

 

 

 

 

 

As we were walking around the Temple, Greg saw some sister missionaries who were singing some church Hymns. Greg went right on over and started singing LOUD with them haha! It was great! Everyone around us had the biggest smile ever and Nate just kept saying "He is so awesome!" "I love Greg!!" As I watched Nate walking with Greg and talking with him it just made me the happiest girl ever! It means the world to me when someone loves Greg as much as I do :) That was really special to me.

 

 

 

I don't know what it was about tonight, but when I was walking with Nate through the lights, I felt closer to him than I ever have before. Something about tonight made me fall so much more in love with him! And I was loving it.

 

 

Tonight we also ran into Santa Clause and Buddy the Elf!! Haha this was pretty funny. Greg saw Santa and he RAN (the fastest I've ever seen him run) over to Santa screaming: "SANTA!!!!" Haha he's so dang cute! This boy will always believe in Santa Clause. It makes our Christmas so much better :) <3

Greg saw Santa and Buddy the Elf!! Haha This made his night :)
