I have the worst memory

The day after Thanksgiving I borrowed my moms car so that I could get our Christmas tree to our apartment. We have so much stuff and so little room that we had the Christmas tree stored at my parents. Anyway, I got the Christmas tree and Courtney wanted to come back to my apartment with my to help me decorate. So we opened the tree box and there was one small tube of ornaments and the tree skirt. We put the tree up and put the few ornaments on that we had. Can I quickly mention how nice these pre-light trees are. They make putting the tree up sooo fast. I remember how long it use to take my mom to put the lights on the tree growing up and I'm so glad I don't have to do that. Anyway, continuing the story. Unfortunately, I could NOT remember where the rest of the ornaments were. I went out to our storage and literally pulled everything out looking for the ornaments. This is the sad result of our tree with no ornaments because I cannot remember anything. I also had not shaped the tree yet and you will notice towards the bottom that there is a small section of lights that don't work. I still haven't fixed those yet. It's a sad sight really. But it was so nice to have Courtney there because she entertained Sam for a long time while I was putting my storage back together. She was just making him giggle like crazy, it was so cute.

All of this took place on Friday and for the rest of the weekend I racked my brain on where the ornaments could be. My mom searched her garage because I thought for sure they were up there if they weren't at our apartment. I had quite honestly resigned myself to the fact that we would just have a tree with little decorations this year. I finished putting up the few Christmas decorations we have. A nativity scene and some garland around our entertainment center and what did I find? Yep, the ornaments. I had stored them in one of my nativity scene boxes so when looking in storage I thought it was just the nativity scene. Anyway, I was very happy that I found the rest of the ornaments and was able to get all of my Christmas decorating done.

Honestly though, I really do have the worst memory. Ask Dan, I lose so many things and forget where I put things ALL the time. Pretty sad and pathetic really.
