HoLiDaYs!!!

I love this time of year!!! I hate the snow, and the cold, and driving on icy roads... but, the holidays and all the fun family parties make up for the crappy weather! haha.

I am especially excited for the family parties this year because even though James and I have been to each others' family parties for the last three years, this year is different...

.... this year we are ENGAGED! .........This year we are about 3 months away from being MARRIED! So I have decided this year will be even more fun! :) And I can't wait to see everyone! I love our families, they are all so fun and they are all so different from eachother, but all the parties are way fun!

* on a side note: I made James go to Target with me yesterday, because they had a "6 foot christmas tree" on sale for 20 dollars! Score! right?!... Wrong! haha I am only 5'4" and this tree was smaller than me... the box wasn't that tall either so im not sure where they got 6' from haha... anyways so there we were... sad, that the tree was a "charlie brown tree" lol..and started looking around at the decorations.

James wandered off for a minute in the christmas section and came back with an ornament it was a key, but the top of it was a heart and engraved on it was "our first christmas together- 2009" and he was like " hey! look!... next year I am going to buy you an ornament just like this one!" I thought that was so cute! I wanted to buy it but he said we should wait and have it actually say 2010 and have it be our first ornament to buy together as a married couple... how cute is that?! I love him! :)

P.S. I bought christmas ornaments last year after the holidays on clearance and ever since i have been so excited to buy my own tree since i already have a few ornaments, hahah... but I decided Ill wait until everything goes on clearance after christmas and then Ill buy my tree, but it has been hard to resist!

P.S.S. On my facebook page I have a countdown to our wedding day... i believe its at 109 days now! holy cow! I am so excited! we are almost out of the triple digits!!! hahaha

I didn't start the count down until a couple weeks after we were engaged and i think we started out then at like 192 days or something and that sounded forever away! but 109 days sounds SOOO much better! :)

Anyways... I hope everyone has an awesome thanksgiving this year!!! and the rest of the holidays too! :) I'm so thankful for so many things in my life, but mostly my family, my awesome (soon-to-be) in-laws, and of course my amazing and adorable fiance! :)
