Our Wonderful Years...

Over the course of the average lifetime you meet a lot of people. Some of them stick with you through thick and thin. Some weave their way through your life and disappear forever. But once in a while someone comes along who earns a permanent place in your heart.

Brown hair, brown eyes. When she smiled, I smiled. When she cried, I cried. Every single thing that happened to me that mattered, in some way, had to do with her. After all, she was my girl. And I knew that she understood that in some small way my achievements were her achievements.

Its beginning to look a lot like...

SNOW!
Time for a little update...

Since Thanksgiving (my last post) has come and gone, we've been pretty busy. I had to go to Eastern Washington for work the last week of November. I was traveling by myself, so Mom came along with me for the ride. We managed to make it to Leavenworth, despite the snow, but forgot our cameras :(. The picture above is of our trip back, just over one of the passes. It was pretty cold out, but we had our down vests, uggs and lots of gloves and extra water/starbucks.

After coming back, Steven and I went to the JHI Holiday party, which was very fun. I made a gingerbread house out of foam parts that were on the table. It was pretty spectacular (sorry no photos of it).

We got our tree and a wreath last Saturday from Larry and Marlene. Its up, with lights and wrapped presents under it (pics of this later). Steven and I were pretty dissapointed that we don't have a mantle above our fireplace, so we went to Target and bought a shelf. However, we have a bone to pick with their "shelfing system"...it does not support its own weight. Steven had to go to Lowe's and pick up some supports for it, but it does look pretty awesome with our stockings hanging above the actual fireplace.

Well, its been a busy December so far, Steven and I are both busy at work and before we know it we'll be needing to pick out flowers and tuxedos and bridesmaids dresses.

Until then, the countdown has begun: 13 days* and counting until Christmas!!

Have Happy Holidays!!!
