Last Christmas


We miss our family! Last Christmas was so much fun! We had Azamat living with us so we made sure and show him all of America's crazy traditions. Mark, Star, and the girls came from California so we got to spend time with them too! We love our adorable nieces, they had us constantly laughing! And we got to do some fun things like build snowmen and go sledding down the big hill by our house and we even got to decorate a cake train with lots of candy and frosting. We will really miss all of those fun things this year!

2 Weeks!!!

I can not believe it is only 2 weeks till Christmas! I just finished decorating yesterday! And I just realized this morning that I still haven't sent out my Christmas cards. I got them all addressed last week, but forgot to sign and send them. So as I was signing cards this morning I thought, "I should stick a note about this blog in the cards." Now I'm sure no one is really all that interested in our boring lives in Savannah, but eventually I'll get pictures up and learn all the tricks to blogging and maybe everyone will want to check my blog every now and then. I know I love snooping on other people's blogs for updates and pictures. So this post is for all those who actually do check out my blog, hopefully I'll have more posts than the three I have by the time everyone gets their Christmas cards (which at this rate might be by Valentine's Day!).

It's beginning to smell a lot like Christmas

I admit I have been a bit of a scrooge this season. I don't know if it's the state of the economy or the lack of snow, but for some reason I have had a hard time getting "in the mood" for Christmas, until last night. We have some wonderful neighbors, that are always sharing - be it food, gifts, dog sitting, you name it. One of them works for Fort Stewart and has a hook up for free Christmas trees. Last night Alan and I were just finishing dinner when our door bell rang. Alan hopped up to answer it and Bizzy went running out the door to assault the persons on the other side. I knew it was our awesome neighbors from the sound of their voices but I didn't know what great surprise they had brought us - a beautiful Christmas tree! The moment I stepped outside and saw it I was in the Christmas mood! And the smell, that wonderful fragrance that can only come from a real tree, brought back so many fond memories. So, even though I started out not really wanting to have anything to do with Christmas this year, I am now officially "in the mood"! I'll post pictures of our decorated tree once we get it all decorated tomorrow!

Happy Thanksgiving

It's the day before Thanksgiving and I am sick! I think Thanksgiving is one of the worst times to get sick. So much food and goodies get neglected because you can't swallow, smell, or taste. Alan and I are spending this Thanksgiving with some friends from church and are pretty exited about it - they're doing most of the cooking so that means we finally get a break from it. I am in charge of bread and desserts(2 of my most favorite things). Hopefully by tomorrow I can kick this cold so I can enjoy myself! What's everyone else doing for Thanksgiving this year?

Firsts

So I have finally succumbed to the blogging world. I really don't have a lot to even blog about, but I thought it would be a better way of keeping touch with everyone - since I don't really keep in touch with anyone any more. So here it is, the first official post for my new blog. I hope I'll be able to keep it updated and learn how to do pictures and everything, but if you have any advise please share it!!!
