I love the holidays. Every year I'm reminded how lucky we are. It really is a Wonderful Life. December has been packed full of family, friends, blessings and getting ready for the holidays.
We celebrated my brother-in-laws graduation in true family style-Greg and Jon blew duck calls in lieu of air horns as Tom received his diploma. The weekend was spent sitting around the Christmas tree, playing with nieces and nephews, and listening to all the men jam out of their guitars. It was great to spend some quality time with all of my new family. It was a true adventure getting there and home (Does your MIL have a blender that plugs into the cigarette lighter??) but well worth it.
We've also been busy working towards buying our first house! We have mutual acceptance and are just working on a few things in the inspection. Barring anything major coming up in the next two weeks, we should close in the middle of January. Greg and I are beyond excited to create a home of our own (and to finally upgrade from our full bed)! More pictures to come once we've moved in.
This weekend we celebrated the seasons with back to back Christmas parties. Between the two we covered all our bases: ugly sweaters, Christmas caroling, dance central, irish coffees, hot-buttered run, whipped cream vodka...
We're counting down the seconds until our first Christmas as Mr. & Mrs. It's going to be a white one, full of family, friends and fun.
