I also put lit garland around the handrail on the stairs. And may I just say—I hate putting up garland. Hate it. End result is nice, but it’s like wrestling an animal to get that stuff wound properly.
Pretty…..
Words to live by..
kari-shma: (via: Amazing Posts)
- Accept that some days you’re the pigeon, and some days you’re the statue.
- Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them.
- Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it.
- Drive carefully. It’s not only cars that can be recalled by their maker.
- Eat a live toad in the morning and nothing worse will happen to you for the rest of the day.
- If you can’t be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.
- If you lend someone $20, and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.
- It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.
- Never buy a car you can’t push.
- Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time, because then you don’t have a leg to stand on.
- Nobody cares if you can’t dance well. Just get up and dance.
- The early worm gets eaten by the bird, so sleep late.
- The Second mouse gets the cheese
- When everything’s coming your way, you’re in the wrong lane.
- Birthdays are good for you, the more you have, the longer you live.
- You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world to one person.
- Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.
- Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.
- We could learn a lot from crayons, some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors but they all have to learn to live in the same box.
- A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.
- Happiness comes through doors you didn’t even know you left open.

“The best things…..happen while you’re dancing….things that you would not do at home come naturally on the floor….
For dancing…..soon becomes romancing…when you hold a girl in your arms that you’ve never held before…
Even guys with two left feet, come out alright if the girl is sweet. And if by chance your cheeks should meet while dancing, proving that the best things happen while you dance.”
White Christmas is my favorite movie to watch around the holiday season, and today I can’t seem to get this song out of my head.
I can’t wait to keep up tradition and watch this!

My parents already have the tree up (just in time for Brandon and I to arrive). After nearly a decade of buying 12-foot Christmas trees, sawing them down ourselves and trucking it home, they finally gave in and bought a 12-foot fake one (pre-lit).
I’m also proud of my foray into casual wear with this puff vest from Target for $15. It’s reversible (two vests in one?) with red lumberjack plaid on the inside.
And…the pajama bottoms I’m wearing are my father’s. Thanksgiving is not the day for aesthetics— I’m enjoying the elastic waist band too much to suffer into a pair of skinny jeans.
Next job….decorations on the tree!!!
Many Thanks:
First: to wonderful best friends (Tanya, Ellie) and family (Mother, Father, Jera); to all the special friendships I have made through Tumblr; to everyone that takes a bit of time to read what I have to say.
To my husband, who has made my life worthwhile and beautiful.
To my dogs, who put a smile on my face.
To having a job, a home, food on the table.
To never taking things for granted and remembering to give thanks everyday instead of once a year over turkey and mashed potatoes.
Cheers and love you all.
xoxo

I know that I have posted this picture before. However, after reading Jeralyn’s blog about puppies, I just had to post a picture of Jera’s “baby” again! Madison is missing her morning routine…sleep, wait for Jera to have her cereal, follow Jera upstairs, get on Jera’s bed and sleep, then she eats a treat before Jera leaves for school. Oh to be together again! xo
