I'm an auntie!!!

This is my nephew, Cole, just a few days old.

Christmas Time is Here Again!!!

I am getting sooo excited for Christmas. Daron and I had 2 Christmas Banquets to go to this past weekend. It was enough to get me in the Christmas spirit. The only thing that could possibly drive me nuts about Christmas time is the constant playing of Christmas carols, and the insane busyness of the malls- I get so claustrophobic. I have created a pictorial Christmas wishlist just for fun...

I want...

To see my family


To see more sunsets


Some nice cozy slippers


Among a few other things!

movin' up

I figured out how to add pictures, this is an extreme close-up! I'm the one on the right!

blog-conscious

So, I'm normally a pretty confident girl... don't usually feel too self conscious, unless a group of people stop talking and laughing when I approach them or something (doesn't happen too often). But I sure have been self conscious about my blog lately. Ashley wanted to know where it was and why I'm not joining the group of other kids but instead sitting in the corner, and the truth is...I don't know how to make my blog fun and interesting. I want sequins and ribbons and pictures and stuff on my blog too! Well now that I've expressed that frustration, I'm going force myself out of the corner and join the group...even if the blog presentation is slightly sad.

what do you write in a blog?

Writing in a blog is an interesting concept because you're trying to think deeply about your personal thoughts and yet you know that they'll soon be published in the most public forum available. Weird. I might as well rent a billboard. I am tired of thinking, rather, I feel like ranting but instead of ranting about something bad, here's something good, I get to go home today, Michael Buble's song "I'm comin back home" is going throught my head as we speak. I am so excited to sleep in my bed tonight...mmm. Well thats all for now, when my thoughts grow I'll write more.
