Christmas Season... I LOVE IT!!!

Hey All so as you know that I love the holidays and this year I am getting back to the basics. My dad who is amazing called and cut down a real tree for us this year! Thanks dad! We also have enjoyed watching the Christmas movies on TV, listening to the carols on the radio and I have been writing an new song. So life is crazy and busy but I totally love it! This year I have been really pondering what made me so happy at Christmas when i was a child, and I truly believe it wasn't about the toys, to me it was about the time we spent together as a family. It was the time of year when we did so much toegther as a family like skiing, caroling, sitting by the fire, and of course reading Christmas stories, the best of all was giving to others whether it was the festival of trees, donating to the boys and girls club, or just to a local family. I loved it. So this year as I reflect upon what I loved and the magic it brought to my life I am doing the same with my kids. So far it is so fun.

May each of you reflect upon the joy that the holidays once brought to you, and remember it and share it with all who are willing to hear it!

Happy Holidays!

Tis the Season... to shop!

Hey all! Well as you probably know its Christmas Season! Ya! My favorite time of the year. So we were off this morning or late last night shopping of course. We got a hotel room for the night so the kids could swim and have a fun night. Chris' parents watched the kids for us while we shopped. We started at midnight at the midnight sales at a local mall, then off to all the regulars like Walmart, Kohl's, Office Depot, etc. We finished up and had a light breakfast at Gandolfo's and ended back at the hotel about 6:30 AM. Just in time for the kids to come back in our room at 7 when they woke up. Thankfully papa and grandma took them downstairs to the hotel breakfast so we could catch about an hour of zees. Well I totally love this time of year and am excited but also grateful for what I have. I am so blessed with an amazing husband who supports me in all my endeavors, and also for two perfectly great kids. Love ya Kenders and Keld keep learning and growing everyday like you do.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Welcome new job...

Well I finally decided on Layton Office Supply for my new full time job. I also have will work the weekends back at TownePlace by Marriott too. My new adventure with work will be an exciting one where my comfort level will expand into cold calling. Gotta love it. But with the first selling day behind me I am looking forward to the challenge. So life is interesting and completely challenging all at once. I can definitely say this year is one for the books and one that I really don't want to remember. I call it the year people screwed me. Not to have a negative outlook though as I am a positive person... the year I learned how strong of a person I truly am, and the year I learned so much about my self, my relationships with others, and with God. So needless to say I can't wait for 2010!!! Bring it on!!! Well Happy Halloween, and Thanksgiving Blessings to you all!
