Can I start by saying I have the GREATEST girlfriends in the world?! That's mostly completely unrelated to this post, but I was looking at this picture of us from back in August, and I'm amazed how truly blessed I am to have such real, Christ filled, girls! I love them all dearly. 


Anyway, back to the point of this post; November is almost over! I have begun to decorate and plan for the month of December. Gathering recipes, writing down traditions, making ornaments, etc. This will be my 3rd Christmas with my wonderful hubby, but our 1st Christmas as a married couple, so I want to make sure we start some of our own traditions! Life moves so much more quickly when you are married. The days fly by as I work on household tasks and studying to become a Doula. This Friday we are taking our Christmas card pics, and I am SO excited! You will be too, when you get it in the mail. ;) I'm going to be posting another article soon with links and pictures of some of the traditions we are doing this year, that you might want to get involved in too.

 
Listening to this song on repeat while I finish my to do list:)

I'M ENGAGED! And after 5 days of engagement bliss, I'm still excited! lol We've picked a date, I have our engagement photography shoot scheduled, I'm researching pre-marital counselors we would like to use, and I'm about to get started on our guest list. Pretty good start, I think. I will be updating the website as we progress and have news to share. Also, I start a new job next week at the Theaters, which means I have money to save up for wedding expenses, and I get to see Hunger Games the day before the midnight premier! I'm suffering through this wedding diet, but it's not easy...I want carbs and chocolate, not this horrible green, healthy stuff! It has already started paying off though, because I'm already down a pant's size, so I guess that is motivation. Tomorrow is the first day of spring!
