Let it Snow...
Well, we got 7 inches of snow here yesterday, which is better than the 12 inches that was predicted, but still a pain to get around in. I made it to work on time, but had to take the Explorer. Tomorrow is officially the first day of winter..seems like it's been winter for months now!
On the bright side, I think it's safe to say we will definitely have a white Christmas.
Things have been a bit hectic lately, as they always seem to be around this time of year, but we are in the spirit, and ready for some time with friends and family over the holidays. We have both been so extraordinarily lucky this year. Brian has been able to continue his education and pursue something that he has a great interest in, and he has excelled while doing so. I have been able to continue to grow with a company that I really enjoy working for. We've been healthy, and happy, and are both continuing to learn new things each day about each other, and count each day together as a blessing!
I hope that everyone that is travelling for the holidays does so safely. Take some time to reflect on what you have to be grateful for. In the spirit of the season, and the spirit of giving, take the time to do something for someone else, however small it may be, or insignificant it may seem. Hold a door open. Lend an ear. Give a hug. It could make a world of difference.
Merry Christmas!

Thanksgiving
I haven't written in awhile, so I thought I'd update everyone. We had a great Thanksgiving. We spent the day with family, and had an excellent meal followed by a nap in front of the fireplace...does it get any better than that?
Brian has finals all week, and then he'll be on winter break. I know he's looking forward to that. After that, Christmas will be here. We are going to spend Christmas Eve with my parents, and Christmas Day with his family. Oh, and I HAVE to brag about the fact that I actually have all of my Christmas shopping DONE! That in itself is a Christmas miracle! haha!
Not sure what we're doing for New Years Eve yet. Brian starts baseball practice in January some time...not exactly sure when, but he's really excited about that. January 3rd-5th we'll be in Cedar Rapids celebrating Davids birthday. That's about as far as I've gotten with the plans. It always seems like December just flys by. All of the shopping and Christmas parties. I still need to put up our tree!
Well, back to work for me...I'll try to write again soon. :)
Happy shopping.....
