9 days WHAT? Honestly WHERE did December go? I cannot believe how fast this month has just flown by and it makes me a little on the sad side. Life has been go-go-go these last couple weeks that I have decided that what I really want, wait, more like NEED is a pause button, or at least a slow down button. Pretty please Santa? I swear have been a good girl this year.
David and I have been busy the last few weeks with work, dreaming up big plans for the future (more on that at a later date), getting the last of our christmas shopping done (so close), trying to keep the house somewhat clean (how DOES such a small space get soooo dirty so fast? i'm confused), seeing friends and family, and teaching Harlow what is okay to play with and what is definitely a NO! (like the christmas tree (climbing it is NOT okay), dried wedding flowers, poinsettia (go ahead, eat the poisonous thing you dumb cat), lit candles, tree ornaments... and the list could go on and on). I swear she is the spawn of satan.
A couple weekends ago David and I headed out after church in search of THE perfect, first Christmas tree. We had been invited over to friends of ours for a day full of good food, laughs, hot tubbing, wreath making, and Christmas tree cutting. After much debate David and I settled on a beautiful noble (see picture below) and I had the joy of yelling "TIMBER" as hubby cut it down. I had my first attempt at making a wreath, which I must add was so freaking fun. I don't think it turned out too bad either.
Christmas is fast approaching which means our 7 day cruise to the Mexican Rivera is coming up too! Hallelujah! It could not come at a better time. Definitely excited for a break from work and even more excited to spend time relaxing on my first cruise! I'll let you know how I like it but for some odd reason I have a feeling that I will be already planning for my next one before I'm done with the first. ;)
Hope that the holidays are treating you well!
Heading out to find our trees!
It was a little bright!

Pretty tree. (and yes, all of our gifts will have bite/claw marks in them)
Yeah, we don't have a fireplace yet. This will have to do.
