A Simple Day, A Good Feeling...

Today was a good day. We didn't do anything spectacular but Bill and I were able to just "be with each other." For once, we didn't have any responsibilities, no work at attend to, no chores to be done, no one we had to visit. We were able to enjoy each other's company.

We had "our breakfast" at Dunkin Donuts, went to Lowe's, Home Depot, Ikea, and Sams. We are trying to make improvements to our home and we got a lot of really great ideas today. I hope we are able to do the things we want, they will just take time, energy, and sweat. But we will get it done. It will definitely be an adventure.

You know it's funny, I was never one of these girls that "had to get married, have a kid and live happily ever after." But today as I looked at my life with Bill I'm thrilled that I'm married to him and I get to live happily ever after. It's so cool to have all these plans, and adventures to look forward to. Sure, we have our challenges with each other, but I wouldn't change that, I embrace the challenges.

The Perfect Gift

It always seems to me that Christmas is here and gone before you know it. Lots of preparation for the actual "Christmas Celebration" and then it's over before you know it. I actually like that about it though. It's like you stress out about getting all the stuff done before Christmas is here, then it's kind of relief when it's all over.
We had a nice Christmas though, we spent Christmas Eve with Bill's family and Christmas day with mine. It's always a nice time. Now, I look forward to a week of sking in Colorado. Bill and I are heading out to Keystone, CO for a much needed vacation. We will spend time with my sister in Denver, ski some mountains, and hopefully take some day trips.

As usual, I received lots of great gifts this year. However, one of my favorites was a bracelet given to me by my sister. Me, my mom, and my sister all have the same bracelet, it bonds us together. We all wear it and think of one another. I'm the most emotional of all of us, so if I'm missing my sister badly, I just look at it and think of her, it's corny I know, but it gets me through missing her.

Oh well, lots of stuff to get done today so I better head off...

Where has the year gone???

Wow, it's almost Christmas Eve...where has the time gone? As usual, I haven't written in this blog in forever. I am gonna make a concerted effort to write more in the new year. 2007 has been a good year for Bill and I. We got married in July. Celebrated with our family and friends in October. And the rest of the year has been relatively uneventful in the "big scheme" of things.

We are looking forward to 2008! Wishing you all the happiest of holiday seasons and health, happiness, and success in 2008.
