'Tis The Season

One more day until Christmas! We decided this year to save our money and just do some small gifts for each other. Ya right! This didn't last long for me since Gentry has been wanting a dog and of course I thought that was a good idea... Until the first night when the puppy yelped all night.
That's right I bought her a little Shih Tzu last week as her first Christmas present of the year. I wanted to keep it a secret until Christmas, but what do you do with a dog for a week and half before Christmas? Anyway it has been a lot of fun so far, however we need to figure out how to potty train the little guy so if anyone has ideas we are open to anything. He has been a lot of fun but I think we are in for a lot more work than we planned on. Here are a few pictures from my phone we will post some more after Christmas. We hope everyone is doing well and that you have a Merry Christmas!

Traveling the World

I'm sure you have guessed already that we have been kind of busy and that's why I haven't posted. So let me give you some updates on life with the Mickelsen's Gentry has been doing the school thing trying to get finished and start student teaching. She is so close and I don't know who is more excited her or me! She is almost done working at the bank which is also exciting we will have some freedom as of the 19th. We have been busy with the Holiday's coming up and all the family, work and church activities that surround the season of Christmas. On the 29th we celebrated my 26th birthday I can't believe it! I always made fun of people that old. I'm working on school right now taking financial accounting and it's killing me with the debts and credits... I'm just happy people like accounting so that I can just hire one if needed. Other than school and the normal day to day life I just got back from Sweden, Norway and Denmark a couple weeks ago. Gentry wasn't very happy that she didn't get to go, but it was a busy work trip and she probably wouldn't have had much fun anyway. It's OK though I'm going to take her back in the spring when I go back to visit accounts. Here are some pictures from the trip I hope you enjoy!
