Well, life is going especially well for the Alletto family these days; other than the fact that we are completely stressed out of our minds about finals and studying all day every day so that we can take them before we leave for the Vegas Bowl on Tuesday. As of today, I have taken two and have two more to take, and Krista will be taking all of her tests on Monday and Tuesday.

Adding a little bit of extra cheer and excitement to our lives this past week was the arrival of our new computer! Don't ask me why we decided to buy another distraction right in the middle of the most stressful time of the semester! (Although I can't say that I am not SUPER STOKED about it...).

We both have all of our Christmas shopping done, so that is also helping us to be able to focus. Krista's birthday is on December 29 so we got to celebrate a little bit earlier in lieu of waiting until we are in Colorado. It was really fun; you should ask her what her incredibly thoughtful husband got for her!

We are leaving for the Vegas Bowl on Tuesday and are excited for that. Christmas is around the corner; of course, for the Alletto's the corner is a little bit wider than for most folks this year because we are going to wait to celebrate until the 27th when Dan gets home from his mission. This will be the first Christmas in 2 years that we are all together again!

Well, that's just about all for now. Until next time...
