mccall year two

Memorial Day is a special holiday for me. Memorial Day was the first trip I took with Allison before we were married. We drove two hours to McCall. It was a warm sunny day. The weather was amazing. What made it even more special was the fact that was the day we first said I love you to each other. We'd been officially dating for almost month by then and almost two months of "hanging out," which was almost dating, but without the kissing. This year we wanted to remember the great time we had last year. We wanted to recapture those memories we had that day and make new ones for this holiday. To McCall we went. It didn't matter that it rained almost the whole time we were there. It was still a great day.

On our way to McCall, stopped to take a picture.

The beach isn't looking so friendly right now.

The hood should help with the rain.

I'm not sure I want to be here with the rain.

Oh no, it's still raining.

Even with all the rain we still had a great time. We ate lunch at a fancy restaurant that felt like someone's dining room. We walked around the beach a little bit when the rain was super light and didn't bother us. We didn't stay as long as we did last year, but it was long enough to get a few memories. Like I said before it was a great day.

it's christmas time again

It's Christmas time again. We've seen snow fall from the sky already out here in Idaho. Thanksgiving is over, even if it's just a few days out. With the end of Thanksgiving it is time to put up the Christmas Tree. Luckily this is the first Christmas I have with my wife. We decide that it was time to buy a tree yesterday. We got a small four ft. tree from walmart and then decorated it last night.


Here we are getting ready to put the ornaments on:


I was lucky this year. I got to put the star on top of the tree. I've never got to do that before.



Unfortunately the first try was not the best. Poor little tree didn't like the weight of the star.



Luckily we finally got it all together and Allison was able to light the tree! Now that is just awesome.

Look it's the McLean's in front of their very first Christmas Tree! How awesome is that.

Christmas has come to the McLean home a little early in my opinion, but it's still the best thing ever. Merry Christmas to everyone.
