Flame

This lovely lives on my stove top. Is it weird that I whisper sweet nothings to it?
The answer is no… obviously.

Holy cow it is 2010! I have totally neglected my blog but we have been having fun!
I finished Chemistry and Biology and was reminded how very much I HATE finals!!

Christmas was so fun with our families. We live with in 10 minutes of our families and so we are so lucky to get to spend holidays with both families. Talking to Eric on Christmas day was so refreshing and needed. He will be home in June and I can’t wait to play with him. Listening to him bare his testimony is Spanish was so touching.

We spent New Years in Midway and I am embarrassed to say that I was barely awake/alert when midnight hit. I missed the firework show…. Maybe this year.

Despite that, I am so thrilled for this year! I love New Year’s time. Everything seems new and exciting. As soon as Christmas is over I am ready to move on from the holidays. I made reasonable goals for this year and framed them next to my bed so I am reminded of them daily.

And the best news is that today is Andrew’s birthday!!!! I love him and our relationship. He seriously makes me laugh daily.

This is certain to be a good year!

Thankful

I am truely thankful for my life and for all of the blessings that I have been given.
Plain and Simple.

Karma

I had stalked this necklace for over a year. I love it. The simplicity spoke to me and who couldn't use a little extra good karma right? Well Andrew surprised me with it for our anniversary this year. I was so excited. One night in August on my way to bed I took it off and set it on our desk. The next morning Andrew was vacuuming near our desk and we heard the most awful grinding sound. Moose (aka the Giant Douche, not to be confused with Captain Douche Bag) had gotten on our desk during the night and knocked the necklace off... now my favorite necklace was in pieces. It had literally been chewed up. What does that say for my karma!? Well Andrew bought me a replacement this weekend and I don't think that it will leave my neck. I hope that it will help me channel some good karma!

I love being an Aunt!

There is nothing more fun than army crawling with Mae. Pretty much anything with her is ten times more fun. How was our family ever complete without her!? I love being her auntie! She is such a good time. :)

It has been over a month since I have posted and I tell you what.... nothing is really all that blog worthy. School is crazy, work is work and we are happy. I hope everyone is having a happy November so far!
