Jeff's family is on their way here, and I'm so excited. We finally got the house all done, the bedrooms are put together, and I'm making some homemade soup for them and some homemade bread baking. While they're here I won't be online much, so I'll have a big update after they leave with pictures :) I want to go ahead and wish everyone a MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! I hope you have a wonderful day with those you love.
I was attempting to capture the beauty of the snow today and the heavy snow that was falling, but I don't think I quite got it. This is the tree in our back yeard though. I've tried and tried to get a whole picture of it, but it's too huge. It is a beautiful day though. I hate driving in snow, but it does make everything so pretty!
Here's a picture of Jeff and I last Christmas and I just decided to use it b/c I was looking for a new picture I could post, and I wanted a picture of me and my oney up here. Jeff looks nice in red, huh? We have one week till Jeff's family gets here and I can't wait. I think I have almost all of the ingredients to start making all of the Christmas cookies! I love this time of year and all of the good smells that fill your home and all of the wonderful sights. I just think it's especially nice that Jeff's family and my new family will be here with us this Christmas. It will make everything just so much more special. It'll be fun to have this big Christmas and do fun things with family b/c I know that once I start school and have a new job...my fun will be over b/c I won't get as much time off from work, and I definitely can't miss school. I'm ready for school though. I've always done well. At this point I'm just ready to get it over with so we can be on to new things! I've been having mixed feelings b/c I want to go to school and get my degree just so I have it if something would ever happen to Jeff then I would be able to care of myself and our kids (when we have them), but I don't want to work when I have kids. I think at the most I'll work 2 or 3 days a week, so I can spend as much time as possible with my kids. I know my mom regrets that she didn't stay home with us, and I don't want to have those regrets. I can handle 2 or 3 days away, and only a few days of work as an RN is a heck of a lot more money than I make now as a hairstylist. I guess I just had to vent. It's something I think about a lot. I know though that once we're done it'll be totally possible, so I shouldn't stress. I just want to be the best wife and mother I can be in this life. I do believe that Jeff and I will be great parents someday! Just remember that family is so, so important!! Make those that you love a big priority in your life. I must get going for now. Have a good night for everyone! I send my love to you all.
We came home from church today and Jeff shoveled snow for the first time at our house and I got pictures of my little black dog all covered in snow! Here are the pics! Enjoy!
Today is my birthday and I am the big 24. It's hard to believe that I'm 24 because I still feel like I'm 16. Jeff told me it's ok to be 24 because I still act like I'm 16. That could be good or bad, I'm not sure. I'll take it as a compliment. Today has been a great day so far. My mom and dad came here to Findlay so we could go out to eat for my birthday before Jeff went to work. We went to Hacienda, my favorite Mexican place here in town. Then we came back to our house to have my cake and some ice cream. After Jeff left for work my mom and I went to Kohl's to do a little shopping. I spent my birthday money and I bought a couple pairs of pants and some sweaters for this winter. It felt good to shop like that b/c I haven't in a long time and anyone who knows me knows that I could shop for days on end!! Now I"m home and I'm lonely without my honey on my birthday. So, I've just been catching up on the shows I Tivo'd. My Maggie is here too to keep me company :) I'll head on out for now. I love you all! Goodnight!
