Merry Christmas

Hello everyone. I'm sitting here at my desk listening to Christmas music and wondering just where this year has gone. Wasn't it just yesterday that I was celebrating New Year's and looking forward to what this year might bring?? I can't believe tomorrow is Christmas already, it totally snuck up on me. I just finnished my shopping and wrapping last week, which is odd for me, I usually have everythig ready to go by the first week in December. Oh well, I guess I can't be on the ball all the time.

I also can't believe all the snow we've gotten. I hate snow and part of the reason I love living in Olympia is that we don't get much, and when we do, it usually melts within a day or two. We've gotten oever 18 inches here in the [ast 2 weeks, and it's still coming! I almost feel like I'm back home (except they really don't plow the roads here...grrrr). I'll have my first white Christmas in about 4 years. I'm so hoping it melts soon!

Anyhow, I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas!

Happy Thanksgiving

I'd like to say the reason I haven't posted in a while was because I've been so busy, but truth be told it's just because I've been so boring lately, ha ha.

This Thanksgiving is the first year I didn't spend the day with any family. My friend Leah invited me to spend the day with her and her family, and since I had no prior plans, I accepted the invitation. I was a little nervous to spend a hiloday with people I didn't know at all, but it ended up be one the the most fun Thanksgiving's I've ever had. Leah is such a great friend and her family was so warm and welcoming...I didn't feel out of place at all.

This past year has been very hard for me, those of you who know my family situation can definatley understand why. I'm so used to being surrounded by family, my own or my significant other's, and not just for the holiday's. This year so much has happened and everyone is growing and going seperate ways. I understand that is part of life, but sometimes I really do miss the way things used to be. I am however grateful for all the wnderful people I do have in my life, even if I don't get to see or talk to some of them as often as I'd like ( or as often as I should).
