Christmas seems to come up on me so fast and then in the blink of an eye its gone!!!
This Christmas was great! Minus the fact that Sissy, Josh, Carter and Coleman weren't here.
The festivities started the week before Christmas, Shane's moms side of the family had a get together with lots of yummy food and a game of dirty Santa which is always a good time! I ended up with travel coffee mugs!
The next festivity was Shane's dads side of the family! Which again involved lots of delicious food and Dirty Santa! This time I ended up with 2 NC. State tervis tumblers! (thanks Laurie hehe) there was a little more drama with this dirty santa, more stealing, which makes it fun!! :)
Then onto Christmas eve! I got off work at 3 and went straight to mom and dads! Its kind of tradition since I have moved out to spend the night with mom and dad on Christmas eve and thanksgiving! I enjoy it! Shane and his parents came over and bubby and tracey and bri. We had a bunch of snacky foods- stuffed mushrooms, sausage balls, 7 layer dip, velveeta/rotel dip, and yummy pastry desserts! We definitely had plenty to eat!! After eating it was off to Christmas eve service at church! Which I always enjoy, it is a tradition in our family to go to it! After church it was back home to hang out for a bit. Dad and I were watching tv and I fell asleep at 1030...way early! So I went up to bed so Santa could come visit! ;)
Christmas day I woke up and went into mom and dads room and woke them up! We did stockings together and then got ready for the day. Dad cooked some yummy breakfast sandwiches and then bubby and tracy came over. We watched Miracle on 34th Street then opened presents! For lunch we had lasagna-yummmmy!
After lunch I headed over to Shane's parents house for more presents!! They are so generous! We had a good time hanging out, chatting, opening presents, and WAITING FOR THE SNOW TO FALL!!! haha every 10 min or so we would open the door to see if anymore was falling! Because we knew it was going to be a big snow fall, Shane and I planned on staying out at Justin and Laurie's! And good thing we did, we got about 8 inches of snow and it was a blast playing outside in it, sledding behind the 4-wheelers, throwing snowballs, making snowmen! It was all around a great time!! First white Christmas since 1947--so cool!
So in all Christmas was awesome!! I am very blessed and I owe it all to my Savior!
I hope everyone else had an amazing Christmas as well! :)

wow..been a while.
my oh my. It has been FOREVER since I last posted on this blog. 2 seasons ago to be exact!
SO much has happend since that last post! Where shall I begin?
Since the last time, I moved into an apartment with my best friend, Jamie! Which let me tell you has been such a blessing! I have had some not so great luck with roommates in the past and Jamie and I get along so well and just enjoy each others company! *oh we also share each others clothes ALL the time which is GREAT! ;) *
I am still working at La Therapie Spa @ Preston! I really enjoy it there! I am staying busy which is awesome! And honestly is such another blessing- especially in this economy!!
Around the time I moved into my new apartment, I got a new car! Which yet again, is a blessing!! I was having a lot of problems with my old car and it needed a lot of work that I wasn't willing to put into a car that was 11 years old! It was actually not easy finding a car. I am quite picky I discovered and there was not a lot I liked that was in my price range! But thankfully I finally found the perfect car for me and the couple was very flexible with what I needed to spend and on the few things that needed to be done to the car!
Shane and I are doing great! We have so much fun together! We have been together for a year and 8 months! whoa- thats a long time! And I am totally ok with it! :) We look forward to many more memories together!! xoxo
My nephews are 8 months old!!!!! OMG! they are growing like weeds!!!!! I miss them SO much! I went to Vegas in November, right before Thanksgiving, to see them and stef and josh. I had such a great time spoiling those little guys rotten!!!! I even enjoyed getting up early in the morning with them and playing so that sissy could sleep!!! I figure, she does it all the time, I never get to see them, so I was ok being a little tired for a couple days!!! Its so hard not being with those little guys and sissy all the time. But I know that hopefully in time they will be back this way and I will be able to watch them grow and teach them new things and just spoil them rotten like aunts are supposed to do! ;)
So as you can see, life is GREAT, I am blessed beyond words, I serve an amazing God, what more could I ask for?!
and really...I am going to try and blog more...not everyday cause I know that wont happen but at least when something fun or important comes up that I want/ need to talk about! :)
until the next time....enjoy these pics! :)
