It's Winter!!

All of a sudden winter has arrived!! Looking at our wedding pictures from the last post makes it hard to believe that it's December and Christmas is around the corner!! I'm going to add a few songs to the Listening page to get us in the spirit, so check them out!!

Husband and I had a wonderful Thanksgiving! It really was better to be expected and I'm so THANKFUL that he got to come HOME!!! YAY! YAY! YAY!!! It was a short visit, but just what I needed! It's these kind of "visits" that are perfect reminders of why we got married, when my vision and thoughts get clouded by the stress of military separation. I love him! "He completes me!" Haha - I always had issues with  this line from Jerry Maguire sorting through the sweetness of it with the "I'm independent, I don't need no man to complete me!" He's the peanut butter to my jelly! In some ways we are so different but we balance each other out and make once yummy sandwich! ;) Sadly I don't have any adorable pictures of us from Thanksgiving, but I'm sure mom does, so when I get them I'll post!

The one picture I took of husband - right before he left to go back south :(

Some of you know, but we bought our first ever Christmas tree!!!! We had no intention of going out on black Friday, but we did and it was fun!! Of course, we waited until a reasonable hour to leave the house, so that may have been part of it!! It's a 7ft fake tree and I'm really happy with it!! It was easy for him to assemble and we quickly tossed lights on it! Friday night we put up all our ornaments while watching Elf! How fun is that? I had no idea if we would need more ornaments to make the tree feel full, but it looks great! Room for more, but no need for me to go out now and put some on so the tree doesn't feel naked!!

SNOW!!! (taken this morning!)

Once I charge the battery on my good camera (not cell phone) I'll take some other pictures of our tree! Mike and I have followed in his parents footsteps and started a tradition of purchasing an ornament on vacation. We don't have many, but it's really neat to see the few that we have and talk about our trip - "oh that is when we ended up in Destin when your car broke down!" and of course we have a couple of ornaments from our honeymoon! It's fun!

Yesterday I went to Bath & Body Works and used a coupon to get a "Wallflower" aka air freshener plug in in the scent "Fresh Balsam" - it is so yummy and makes up for not having a real tree!!! A must get, in my opinion for the fellow fake Christmas tree supporters!

The one picture I did take of husband - right before heading back at the end of our wonderful time together. :(

Well I have lots more I could update, but I'll share those random thoughts in a different post! Happy Winter!
