On Saturday we celebrated Micah (my nephews) 2nd birthday at my sister's house. I can't believe how big he is. We had a lot of fun watching him open presents this year. It was also nice to see Garret's parents...they leave soon to Guatemala on a mission.
I just bought a new dress at shabby apple (here it is) for Noah's work Christmas Party. He has such a fun group of people that he works with. Anyway, they do themes for their Christmas Party's. For example last year they did ugly sweaters and this year the theme is James Bond. So they're going to have fake gambling tables set up etc. Noah is wearing his tux that his work bought him for all the events he has to attend and I'm going to wear the dress I listed in the beginning of this blog. Anyway, I put it on to show Noah and he said, "it's cute". For some reason I was expecting sexy, incredible, AMAZING...but I got yeah that's cute. I'm usually okay with "cute" but for some reason today I'm not okay with "cute". Man, am I being a girl right now! Goodnight.
This Thanksgiving was wonderful. I had it at my house with 3 other couples and 4 kids. My house was filled with noise and kids running back and forth. I absolutely loved the feel in my home. It is so hard being away from home but I now know what my mom was talking about when she told me I would make friends that I would consider family. Noah and I have made friends that we do everything with:) I still want to be around my family but the blow is softened by close friends and my amazing sista!
This Thanksgiving we had Turkey, Ham, and about every side you can imagine. We ate then just hung out while Christmas music played in the background and the sound of football. It was so cozy. Thanks everyone for coming!
The other day Chrissy wrote on her blog things she loves then Jules wrote on her blog things she loves. I have a lot of things I love but I for sure have a list of things I want. Noah and I are on a budget so for sure I won't get all of the things below for this Christmas.
Christmas is my favorite time of year. I love the decorations and the Christmas music playing in all the stores. I can't get enough. Just this past Friday, Noah and I went to see "The Christmas Carol". It was so good and put me more into the Christmas spirit. I have more decorations for Christmas then most people I know. I love the feeling of my home in the winter. I love having a white Christmas, gloves, coats, scarves, fireplaces, hot cocoa, sweaters, and hats.
Today I got home from work and started to relax on my cozy couch when the door bell rang. I walked over and opened the door and there was a salesman. He then preceded to ask me if my mom or dad was available. I know I look young but really do I still look 16 years old? I told the nice young man that I was the owner of the home. The salesman looked confused but eventually believed me and continued with a sales pitch on how he could areate my lawn for only $30.00.
Anyway, I thought it was funny that he thought I was still a teenager.
