Michelle found a guy selling live Christmas Trees for 10$ a couple days ago on Craig's List. We arranged to go to is house and he cut a tree down for us. We drove home with a HUGE tree tied to the roof of our small car. It was quite an ordeal to get the tree to where it is now, in its base and trimmed to a nice size in our living room. We tied the tree to our car by putting a rope through the car and then over the tree, so we actually had to climb in through the windows (the doors were roped shut). We drove home on back roads and everyone looked at us as they passed us. The family that sold us the tree was really nice. It felt really good to get to know some perfect strangers that had the Christmas spirit and were so friendly. This tree, by the way, was hard to get into the apartment. Michelle and I had to drag it through the parking lot and up the stairs to our second floor apartment and then literally force it through our door frame. We did it though, it is here and our apartment smells like Christmas. I will post pictures of the tree as it is now later. These pictures are just of the ordeal getting onto the car and then getting into the car.

That looked like fun!:) Good for you guys. I'm too lazy for all that hard work - we have a fake one. I miss the great smell that comes from having a real one, though!
what a steal!! i can't wait to get our tree.
