Woke up Christmas Eve morning with a very sore throat and not feeling well at all. It was going to be a long day of running from house to house, Church and trying to put on a happy face while feeling ill. Lucky for me, I had my knight in shining armor (okay with a tissue box) close at hand. He hadn't seen the sick, whiny, melancholy side of me prior to this and I'm sure it was a real treat! He was so patient with me trying to express what I needed/wanted and really made sure I was comfortable. Also, lucky for me, my new family to be (Char's family) and my real dad made sure I was well equipped with hot teas, tips on gargling peroxide to kill the infection and heavy duty ibuprofen. It was a long night but so great to see everybody.
Christmas morning, still not feeling well, went to my Mom & Dad's for the traditional breakfast casserole and stockings/present opening. Charlie's first experience with PJs and my parents :) He was right at home, quoting movies with my brothers and enjoying my Mommy's yummy breakfast. Then it was back home to get some more meds and to get ready for Charlie's parents to come over. Year two with the future in-laws and my rents at Christmas dinner. They all get along so well, it's awesome!
And finally today, Day 6 of the Wretched Sinus Infection and love has been definitely in the air. Charlie has been so loving and really took care of me yesterday. Fingers crossed I will be at work tomorrow as I can only imagine what my desk looks like!!! Ahhhh!
On a bigger and much brighter note......CHARLIE GOT A NEW JOB!!! Hooray! He's going to be a technology coach for his current company and will be located just one street over from me. Hopefully he'll be starting up right after the first of the year.
I'm so proud of you love! You are going to do great things and you deserve nothing but the best!
Stay healthy all! Hope to be ready for NYE...my maid of honor Brianne and her boyfriend Geoff are in town!! Woohoo!!

It's not beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Where has the time gone?!?! It was just Halloween, then Thanksgiving and now Christmas is coming!
I've been getting a lot of "are you ready for Christmas" questions, I reply with a sigh....nope not there yet. Plus it's been surprisingly nice weather and doesn't even seem like Christmas time. Growing up here, as my dear friend Jill would say as a "Coloradian" better known as Coloradan, I expect snow for this time of year. So strange! We are used to changing from a tank top to a turtleneck in a matter of minutes though, so nothing really surprises me. Haha!
With all the Christmas cards going out, we've decided it's best to send out our Save-The-Date cards in January so be on the lookout! I'm chopping at the bit to get them out. We are hoping to utilize this blog to also house our registries, not quite sure how yet but we'll figure it out. If any of you have suggestions, we are open to them! As you can tell from my blogging skills, I'm a beginner :) LOL!
Life seems to get crazier and crazier as we are getting closer to the holidays and wedding. Say some prayers God grants us some patience and calms our nerves.
Hope you all are doing well & that you are READY for CHRISTMAS!

Thankful Thursday
I know Thanksgiving was last Thursday and we had a lot to be thankful for so my post is well overdue but I'm thankful for yet another Thursday!
Last Thursday morning we had received a call from my Mom saying one of my brothers (Robb) had been admitted to the hospital. Not a good way to start off Thanksgiving morning. He had been experiencing a very rapid heartbeat and chest pains. Three weeks prior he had the same thing and the ER (two separate trips) had no answers. Keep in mind he's only 19 so this has been very scary for our family. My poor baby bro just wanted answers, good or bad just to comfort him. He was told by the ER doc to see the cardiologist again and his primary care doc for some answers. Robb's major is pre-med and I'm sure he just wanted to ask the ER doc if he went to med school! Thankfully, the doc said Robb could be released to spend the holiday at home. Long story short, Robb is okay and his primary care doc says his heart is fine and seems to have found a solution to fix what's been going on. I'm relieved beyond belief that it's not his heart! Phew, I feel like I'm the Mom with all my siblings and this was just breaking my heart that he was going through all this yuckiness :(
Onto more blessings... Tuesday (Nov 30th) was my birthday and while I was sad I couldn't spend the day at home relaxing with Charlie, I was very thankful to have a job to go to. It's still so tough out there and I am so glad we have a roof over our heads, food to nourish our bodies and heat to keep us warm! I had a fabulous birthday dinner with my honey and my family. My Mom let's each of us pick our fav recipe and dessert for our birthdays so that made it even better!! Love my Mommy's cooking, Yummy-Yummy-Yummy!
And today...drum roll please...brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.....it my parent's 21st anniversary! It's not heard of these days to have marriages that last. I want our marriage to be filled with as much love and happiness as my parents have based on God's love & guidance. Happy Anniversary Mom & Dad, we love you both so much!
I hope you all experience God's many blessings in your life each and every day! We are sooooooo BLESSED and cannot say Thank you enough!
