I'm enjoying time off and time for myself.
I'm thankful for an amazing, loving and generous husband.
Excited to see family over Christmas.
I'm always eager to make peanut butter balls, but...
Praying for dear friends who are struggling right now...you are loved.
The sun is shining and that is glorious!
I must read.
Love Christmas music.
Thankful for girlfriends.
I enjoy hot tea and crosswords in the mornings.
Unsure about my new hair cut...might end up chopping it all off now.
Did I mention I'm excited to see family? I really can't wait, but I have to.
Super excited to see friends I haven't seen in a long time...especially friends from college and camp.
Love hearing others say Merry Christmas.
It's a wonderful day today. Sending love to family and friends.
"If you are a dreamer come in. If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar. A hoper a pray-er a magic-bean-buyer. If you're a pretender come sit by my fire. For we have some flax golden tales to spin. Come in! Come in!" -Shel Silverstein

Christmas Cheer
On our drive home last night from Molly and Ryan's house (dear, dear friends of ours) we were gloating, in a non-malicious way, about how great it is to be loved by so many people. The past couple of weeks we have shared more glasses of wine, great food, lots of laughter and have been surrounded by absolutely wonderful and amazing people...all who love us so much. It's somewhat overwhelming, but at the same time absolutely exciting. In return, Chad and I share that same love to others that we receive from all our friends. The feeling of love and friendship is mutual, and to think about how strong those feelings are, is even more rewarding and makes me feel all warm and happy inside. I know, sappy, right? But, it's true.
When I think about Christmas, I think about the love that we share with all our friends and family. It's an absolutely wonderful time of year...something that should not only happen once a year, but year round. We hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas filled with lots of love, friendships and laughter.

Thanksgiving in Oregon
We had a great Thanksgiving with my family in Oregon. After a couple of days at Granny and Papa's house we headed up the Oregon coast. Chad is pretty good and putt-putt...me, on the other hand, not so good.
