everything seems to move in fast forward this time of year... i know i will sit back next week when things start to slow down a bit and look back at the last few weeks of chaos and smile. no matter how busy and stressful it is i know its almost time to put this year to sleep and welcome a new year with new adventures.
Happy Holidays Everyone!!!
a mish mash of things i stumble across and updates of my day to day life mixed in with my ramblings. just throwing it all out there. enjoy!

I'm back and I'm FREEZING!
one week vacation and what do i come back to? record breaking cold weather. i feel like i'm being punished for leaving! this ALWAYS happens! i generally only go on one vacation a year and every single time it is a brutal cold snap when i return. this year takes the cake though!
the up side of this brutal winter weather is the beauty of looking outside at a crystalized winter wonderland. even knowing how bitterly cold it was outside i couldn't help myself but go out in it. i don't know if i'm crazy but it totally puts me into christmas mode! i went and bought some supplies to make a new christmas wreath since the one i've been using turned into a year round wreath and is looking a little worse for the wear... it was time for a replacement. just walking into the craft store listening to the christmas carols playing and smelling the cinnamon and spicy christmas scents had me ready to buy half the store! i think i am more excited about christmas this year than i have been for a long time... and its all because i was so freezing cold and it was so wintery outside i just couldn't help but think warm christmasy things!
This year i tried to make everyone something for christmas and i've managed to figure out something for almost everyone on my list but there will always be a few difficult to gift people... still working on those guys! time is running low for christmas shopping but i'm almost done and next comes wrapping... the best part ever! i know most people think i'm crazy but if i won the lottery and didn't have to work to pay the bills i think i would find a job as a present wrapper and i would be SO excited!
Christmas 1 of 3 is on friday so i will have to get about half of our stuff ready for then... maybe wrapping tonight! yay!
