a year ago today (and after) we started PACKING...even though we hadn't officially gone under contract yet, we knew it was going to work out...and we were very excited! so at this point, we hadn't started shopping for things to go in the new house, but we were packing and organizing everything at our old house...so this is the part where i feel very relaxed this year
and even though we're so thankful to be here, there's still a part of me that misses our old house...our first house...the one we came home to after our wedding, after our honeymoon, where lee finished school and i finally felt like a grown up...i must admit, sometimes i take "the long way" home a few afternoons a week to ride by there and check on it...i like to...
a year ago today, i also had all of my Christmas shopping done (actually by Halloween)...this is the part that makes me feel a little stressed...even though there's still plenty of time between now and Christmas, i just remember last year and think "geez, i was DONE by now!"
i did go shopping with emily on saturday to try to get a jump on my Christmas shopping...mostly felt uninspired and i got the heebie-jeebies when i saw how unorganized everything was after black friday. so i bought a few things, came home made my Christmas list and started shopping online (much more organized...ahhh...deep breath of relief) and the best part about that? i don't have to look for a parking spot or stand in line at the register!...oh yeah, and i went shopping in my pajamas :)
so with all that being said, i'm looking forward to our first OFFICIAL Christmas in our house...even though we were here for a whopping 4 days last year before Christmas...i'm hoping to finish up our Christmas decorations (i'll post pictures when we're done)...i'm also hoping in the next few days to do the first annual family Christmas card (i tried to do this last year, but see above for things that got in the way)...with the 3 of us...not just the pup
