you make me drop things, like all the plans i had for a life without you.
so today was so great.
i am so thankful for so soooo many things. since it is just me and morbid we do not cook a big dinner or anything but my sweetie offered to do something he hates today to make me super happy. which was awesome, and i think i might be turning him onto it just a teensy bit more each year. i bet someday he will tell me he really likes holidays. he asked me if i wanted to go shopping for xmas decorations and decorate the house!!!
i jumped all over that. i put lights and thin garland all over our entertainment center and we got a 6 foot tree that i put up AND decorated. i made us new ornaments tonight for my family tradition of getting a new ornament every year. my parents and i would always buy them, but ive decided i am going to make one each year. we dont have any from before we lived in this house but it doesnt matter. i made a 2005 one for our first xmas here, a 2006 as our first married xmas together, and a 2007 one for this year. danger has his own tree this year. the adorable one morbid surprised me with last year. it has his own 1st xmas ornament on it and my girl abby had an idea of making biscuit ornaments for him, so i am going to do them out of clay sometime in the next few weeks. i hung our stockings on our big window and got everything organized. even bought the xmas cards to minimize going to any stores from here on out as much as possible. the majority of my upcoming purchases will be online, from work, or on a really MUST go to the store priority list.
morbid had to go to work tonight but not till 9 so we got to spend a pretty decent amount of time together. he cooked us (including danger) some turkey burgers before he went in. ive been sitting here writing out our bills in the midst of all my little xmas cheer for the past few hours.... and cleaning up the mess of getting it all out of course. i havent done the dishes yet, although i said i would. i am getting tired though... they might have to wait.
so far my shopping has been successful. ive got b-day cards for a couple upcoming birthdays, and the sweater i got my dad was perfect and the pants i got for travis, also perfect. he has now moved back to utah. i got to see him last sat night for a few hours. he played everything he had been recording up in new york for the past month for me. it makes me smile. it feels personal to me since i was the catalyst for the beginning of the writing and i was able to witness some of the writing in the wee hours of the night/ morning every once in a great while these past 6 months. he is now addicted to zappos and i have a feeling going to be asking me to get him a lot more stuff in the future.
i pulled my back last sunday. sucked. missed a day of work. i am going to go to work for a few hours tomorrow night though just to add to my paycheck. it is much needed this time of year. my paycheck that i got today had 23.95 hours of overtime on it. hell yeah. except i lost my xmas list of stuff i was going to buy for my parents. i was going to order their stuff tonight. yeah. go me. so i will have to tear the house apart.
i love my husband
i love my friends
i love my family
i love my puppy
i love my house
i love my car
i love my job
i love my life
i love how domestic i have become
i am thankful for every moment i have.
blessed be
