Day 19 - Something You Miss

Quick note about yesterday's post.  This also should have included that I regret saying "I would continue to love my husband, even on Football Sundays."  These words did come out of my mouth in front of 200 people, however; I think it was the almond champagne that I drank before the ceremony.  Damn fizzy drink...

Now let's get busy with Day 19.

It's this time of year that makes me the happiest.  I LOVE THE HOLIDAY SEASON.  When everyone else is complaining about the Christmas music in the department stores, I walking around humming and singing out loud.  I love that stuff.  I've been known to turn it on when I'm in a bad mood...it lifts me right up...who cares that it's May. 

The Holidays have always been a time when my family drops what they're doing and comes to UT to love each other and spend some good quality time together.  But as the years pass and we grow older, it becomes a little harder to meet up.  Boarding the dogs and buying plane tickets gets too expensive, jobs get in the way, whatever it may be, it just doesn't happen like it used to.  So that's what I miss.  I miss waking up with my ENTIRE family on Christmas morning, making cookies with my mom, and watching National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.  

Hope your Holidays are spent with your family and that you all have a safe and Merry Christmas.  

Day 14 -- A Picture You Love

This is one of my most favorite family photos and one of my most favorite Thanksgivings.  I think this was the first year that HUSBO and I were dating. {He's not in the picture cause we weren't sure about him yet...the Maymi club is pretty exclusive}  I think this was 2007.  There is another one, where Husbo jumped in the background, but I couldn't find it.  It's pretty funny and the first photo I thought of, but again, I cannot find it.  :( 

Happy First Day of December!!!  24 days 'til Christmas. 

Day 13 -- GOOOOOAAAALLLL!!!!

I have ALWAYS been one to make goals for myself.  I have NEVER been one to follow through.  I don't make resolutions because I don't want to be disappointed in myself when it's mid May and I haven't made it to the gym once.  So I just don't do it.  But for the sake of the blog, I will make a list of short term goals for the month of December. 

• Get the Battle Home decorated for the upcoming holiday.  {Tree is up and waiting to be decorated!!!}
• Buy all Christmas gifts before December 24th.
• Finish book number one on A&E's book list.  {We're reading A Christmas Carol to help us get into the Christmas spirit}
• Make a Christmas wreath
• Try no to cry on the 26th when the Maymi clan jet sets to Hawaii while Husbo and I freeze our bottoms off in the blistering cold.
• Change up my hair {Oh yeah, I already did that}

BEFORE:                                                                   

AFTER:

the stache is from Shirelle's birthday bash,
it is not part of the new look! 



 So that's about all I can commit to.  Anything more and it won't get done.  Ha.  Hope all you Utah people are enjoy the PRETTY snow.  Safe driving and Happy Monday.
