my second surprise was a shopping spree to get Christmas decorations for our new house...even though we were in our house in time for last Christmas (for a whopping 3 days) we just left the un-decorated, lit tree up...
so we went to home depot, michaels, and target...and i got some spotlights for the front yard, a big wreath for the front door, LED candles for each window (downstairs only), a lighted garland for the lamp post, a gingerbread house kit, and little wreaths for the downstairs windows...
here's a closer shot of the front door wreath...
and here's the little wreaths that we'll hang on each of the downstairs windows...i made the bows my self...i just wasn't excited about the SUPER BRIGHT red bows that they sell at michael's...so i got stuff to make my own and googled "how to tie a wreath bow"...i think they came out well
...i would also like to point out nershi's "hoof" at the bottom of this picture...as you may recall from the tie dye post, when i get the camera out, nershi thinks i'm taking a picture of him (i do suppose history repeats itself)...so he stood in front of the wreaths and lee called him to get out of the picture...but he left the hoof...there you have it!...
lee also surprised me with a trip to the yadkin valley for hot air ballooning and a wine tasting...2 things i've been dying to do for quite some time now...he's so observant! we're supposed to go sometime in march...what a sweetie!
...
now...here's the "in-a-nutshell" story of the morphing bug i've inherited along the way...i woke up 2am friday morning with a flaming throat and no voice...went to work for a bit, came home took a nap, went back to work, got my voice back a little bit, started feeling great the closer it got to bedtime...
...
woke up saturday morning with a terrible stomach ache, went to work, figured out it was the medicine i was taking...gradually felt better closer to bed time...
...
woke up this morning with a head cold, hearing loss, and ear ache...lee took me to kanki for lunch today (b/c its cheaper to eat there for lunch) and after we ordered we both felt pretty crummy (lee's catching what i have)...so we got our order to go and came home, took looooong naps...went to grannys to celebrate the b-day with some family and DUCK CAKE! (yummy, i might add) and as we approach bed time, i'm feeling pretty good again
...
...i wonder what tomorrow holds?
