What the heck have I been up to? Well, I'm a proud level 67 in Candy Crush and that's all you need to know.
Honestly, we've been traveling our buns off. Part of which consisted of following the eye of winter storm Cleon for about 5 hours in a car with a toddler who was watching Despicable Me for the 7th time in a row. The weather was so bad, I had visions of pulling over in a tiny town and banging on the door of a church to ask if we could seek shelter for the night.
I'm sure you'd like to see pictures of the finished house, however, oops, it's Christmas time. Who allowed that? How did the month of December seem like years when we were kids and now that I have a kid, it goes by in 30 seconds. I started feeling like a lousy mother because I was an entire week late to decorate. I hadn't even tasted a Starbucks peppermint mocha. So, for the last couple of days, after putting my wild farm animal to sleep, I did the damn thing and we now live in a Christmas miracle.
So here's what it looks like this month. We ended up getting 7 inches of snow here and I discovered that this town doesn't own a plow truck.
Here's how me and Brian's relationship is going:
Here's our glorious entry way:
Hey! I found one of those vintage ceramic light up Christmas trees like Mom used to have:
Bookcase top, numero uno. Doesn't it make you want to weep?
Bookcase top two. Who wants to touch me?
We totes braved the negative temps and cut down our tree from this new place called, "Lowes":
The mantel. Yes, we are doing Elf on a Shelf. Today, Nathan tried to name him Roger and/or Boom Boom.
Are you sitting down for this?
No, that succulent is not real. Ain't nobody got time for that.
I mean, it's like your in a cabin in Colorado. Except you're not, you're in my house, which is right next to an Olive Garden.
Here's the dining room. Did I mention we have real new years plans? With other adults?
Other than that, life here is rolling along and I like it. Nathan walked up to me and bit my boob today, I shaved my legs for the first time since my honeymoon and I'm still actively eating our Halloween candy.
