Christmas Cheer

Sold $1150 worth of stuff on ksl/craigslist
Moved to a darling house in Provo
Spent $577 at IKEA
and $98 the next day.

Lived out of boxes for awhile
Slept on an air mattress for 2 weeks
Scrubbed/patched/painted my old home
while trying to set up our new one.

Finished 4 photo shoots
Got my christmas card made
While prince charming worked magic with tools.
It was like Christmas morning to wake up and find bookshelves, a kitchen table, chairs, and more appear where brown boxes had stood before.

Christmas parties - work, work, ward, ward, friends, family, and the Appetizer Extravaganza coming up.
Talking about the beach with that Adrie doll of mine, and counting down the days.
Wishing I had internet at home to post my fun, fun Thanksgiving photos.
Oh well.

Life is pretty great.

Did I mention I'm getting married? I think I've neglected that information here. I am getting married. I didn't know life could be this great. And just getting better.
