Christmas Tree Adventure

Okay, here is our latest Christmas adventure. My roommates and I have really really wanted a christmas tree for quite some time now. We looked around but all were rather pricey. We checked the dollar store but no luck. While walking back to the apartment from mine and Taneesas biology class, we discovered a wrapped up christmas tree sitting next to the garbage and recycling bin in the TSC. We both stood there for about 5 minutes questioning whether or not we should take the tree. Could it be someones? Why was it sitting here?

I told her she should take it, it was probably going to the trash. She said she didn't want to take it, and that I should.

We kept debating it till a delightful friend named Karly showed up on the scene. "I'll take it!" She told us. So quickly she picked up the tree and brought it to our apartment. While unwrapping it, we found a paper that said "Acadmic Resource Center". We started freaking out a little. Oh crap, we stole a christmas tree! Santa is not coming to visit us! Coal coal coal!

I pulled out my cell phone, called USU, and had them direct me to the Academic Resource Center. I explained that we saw a tree sitting next to a trash can, so we took it home, thinking it was trash, but then found the note. I asked if they were missing a christmas tree. My heart started beating fast as he told me he would go ask his boss.

To my delight, he came back on the phone and said that was their tree from last year and that they had just gotten a new one. We were free to keep it!

My whole apartment was freaking out! We got our christmas tree, and for free! I don't know, santa might be doing special things for us early this year.

I am so thankful for christmas time. I thankful for the little moments heavenly father gives me to make me smile, like the finding of our new Christmas tree :) I am so blessed!

And, oh hey, we need a fireplace too, hello! Here is what my crazy roomies and I came up with :)
