CHRISTMAS IS COMING!

I love love love, love Christmas! I have been in such the holiday spirit (except for a few hours yesterday afternoon).
One of my favorite parts about Christmas is all the decorations....everywhere. At home, lights on the house, a pretty mis-matched ornamented tree, sparkly glittery red gold silver green things....I love it all.

I love all the presents. I was very spoiled growing up...my Mom does not believe in gift bags and therefore she can wrap the most beautiful present ever! She's even better than the people that get hired to do it at the mall & dept stores. The power of a perfectly wrapped Christmas package is amazing. It makes you feel so warm & special inside. Like Santa really delivered it himself.

I love ALL the food & candy & treats. Just by cooking for Thanksgiving over here, I realize how much work all the ladies in the family put into making it even better with such awesome goodies. Mmmm maybe Matt will let us have some eggnog & peppermint bark from WS. The best for sure!

I love the cheer and happiness & time spent with good family & friends. People randomly stopping by the house cause they were in the neighborhood.
My parents did the best job as we were growing up. My Dad (cause he's such an amazing guy) always takes a Christmas Ham to ol' Mrs....soandso (I cant remember her name)....he has been taking her a ham for the past 20+yrs on Christmas Eve....always part of the routine. What a great guy. Its probably the only ham her family eats every year. She is an older woman & I believe has a decent size family. Anyways, how does that nice story not put a little smile on your face & Christmas cheer in your heart??

It will definitely be here before we know it & be gone just as fast. So enjoy it while you can!

LUCKY WIFE

Our 1 year anniversary is coming up in less than a month now.....27 days to be exact. Feels great. I love being married to Matt. We really were meant to be together. It amazes me everyday how well we work together; I never thought I could be so close to someone who is not only a great husband but the greatest friend I've ever had.
I feel like the luckiest girl in the world! And I love our love!
I cant wait to get settled back in Tulsa with Matt & feel like we are really at home....ahhh!
