New Title

For a while now, the title of this blog has bothered me because I wanted it to be something clever and something that expresses who I am.  A friend of mine last year who bore the same last name as me told me that Ferguson means sweeter after difficulties.  I thought that was so fitting of my life so far.  It's really what I strive to be every day, sweeter, not despite of, but because of everything that I have gone through both good and bad in my life.  I figured it was a pretty fitting title for this blog. 
Merry Christmas everyone!

On Saturday, we woke up really early (6:30) to have breakfast together with all of our roomates because Kristine works graveyard on teh weekends and comes home around 6:30. After we ate breakfast, we went to get a Christmas tree around 9:00. May had to go to work and Kristine went to bed, so it was just Mindy, Heidi, Ellissa and me. We found a Christmas tree lot on Lancaster that had really nice trees. Later in the morning, Laura and Kristen came down and we had a lot of fun hanging out.

These are the snow flakes May, Ellissa and me made. We hung them in the doorway.

These are my roommates at the Christmas lot. I told them to "act happy" and this is what they did. lol. They are so cute.

This is us at the tree lot. It was at a church. All the trees were 15 dollars! It was really great cuz we didn't have to settle for a small tree.

All of us in the car, you can see the tree in the background. It was pretty tight, the back latch almost didn't close! Heidi had to climb in and hold the tree up while I closed the door, then she climbed out the back window! lol.

Here we are with our tree before we put it in the house.

All of us with the tree. Ellissa Mindy, me and Heidi at the bottom.
