We really put a lot of mental energy into where we wanted to go and get our Christmas tree. I wanted to cut one down this year, but as beautiful as Colorado is, their trees (at least at the tree lots we saw) just aren't up to par with imported Christmas trees (thank you South Carolina!). So we asked around and got a great tip on a Christmas tree lot nearby that was supposed to be really good. I scouted it out during the day a few days before we were going to get our tree so that we knew where we were going. The evening we had planned to get the tree, Aaron and I both came down with the flu.. :( But it was the ONLY evening that week that I had off of work so we had to do it! So off we went to our carefully selected Christmas tree lot ... and it was closed! Bummer!! So, after all of that, we dragged our sick selves to the local grocery store and found a tree there (thank you King Soopers!). So it worked out. I'm pretty sure we got the BEST one they had!! I LOVE our tree!! :)
(we only had our phones with us to take pictures, sorry for the bad quality)
Driving home was interesting because it wasn't put on the car very well (a guy at the store helped us) and it was slowly inching backwards on the car the whole way home! I had to reach out the windows and hang onto the ropes to keep it on the car! Good thing we were only a couple of miles away. It was a little nerve-racking, but funny!
We took it home to our new apartment and got it all set up. Trying to get it straight was an adventure. But it looks great now! So we have no furniture or other decor yet...but we have a Christmas tree!! :) I think our priorities are definitely in order, haha.
