Turkey Day

This year, I get to say I'm thankful for a few new things I hadn't imagined one year go. First, my HUSBAND. I'm a pretty lucky gal to have a man who loves me, takes care of me, and supports me. For the last six Thanksgiving I've been thankful for my boyfriend, but this year it's a little extra special to have our first married holiday. With may more to come.

Second, SHOOTER and STELLA. A year ago, they weren't on the agenda, or even born yet! But Bo and I couldn't imagine our house without them. They had an exhausing first Thanksgiving. Plenty of new people and even got a few bites of turkey! They've gone into an exhaustive coma now and better sleep in tomorrow.

I'll also mention the family and friends that make each year better than the last. I hope each and every person had a wonderful Thanksgiving and takes a short second to see the day as half-full.

Black Friday

Anyone who is planning their Black Friday routes right now for doorbuster deals is crazy. There is not a deal so irresistible that I am considering a wake up call at 3 to go stand in 40 degrees of cold. I value my sleep and more so my life. Those Walmart folks show no mercy. So, good luck to my fellow shoppers. I will be one less person standing in your way for the cheap electronics and toys. May the force be with you. :)

Perfectly Lonely Love Song

John Mayer's Battle Studies and Miranda Lambert's Revolution are on the top of my music chart lately and I'm quite convinced anyone who agrees is my soulmate. Fantastic new music lately...now if only some good movies would come out....that have nothing to do with New Moon, sci fi, or horror. So, a romantic comedy please. A Christmas one would be nice.

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Well, I owe my small blog following an update. This is likely the longest stretch of silence since I started writing. It always seems hard to start again if I go more than a few days. And not so much because I have less to write. If anything, maybe more to say that usual.

I put up our first Christmas tree this week. This year seemed to beg for a little early cheer. Christmas is my favorite holiday after all so why not enjoy it a little early. I'm not typically a seasonal decorator. Holidays come a go so quick it seems pointless to put up decorations I have to store the remaining 364 days of the year. But Christmas is the exception.

Shooter and Stella's addition to the tree. They destroyed one of their toys and a piece was found hanging on the tree. :)



A few holiday decorations.
