Stream of consciousness

Tonight I made dinner with questionable chicken. If Andrew and I die, you all know how. Well, actually Andrew might be more likely to die, because I couldn't get over the thought that the chicken might be questionable. With every bite all I could think was "rotten chicken...rotten CHICKEN...ROTTEN CHICKEN!"
Then I ate bowl of cereal.

I finally did some Christmas shopping tonight. Procrastination was in full swing but I smacked it down and was actually semi-productive!

I LOVE getting Christmas cards. It makes me so happy to open them up and find a place for them on our fridge. It's so fun. A simple pleasure that I never really got to enjoy pre-marriage.

I had to get a New Orleans number this past week. I was sad to say goodbye to my loyal 254 number, but my staff weren't enjoying calling long distance. Now that I'm thinking about it, maybe keeping it would have reduced the number of people that like to call in at 3am. Worst part of my job by far-- answering the phone at 3 in the morning. It gets my heart rate up thinking someone died or something then I answer the phone to *fake cough* "Mrs. Allye" *another fake cough* "I'm really sick and won't be able to come in at 6...." Great. Just great.
Anyway, I was going to tell you about how I had to get a new number, and how after I got a new number ALL of my precious iPhone pictures got deleted. And for some strange reason, unbeknownst to me (and my good friends at Verizon), my phone has lost the capability of storing pictures. I take a picture and then it goes to a dark abyss that I do not have access to. It's quite sad. I'm taking it to the apple store tomorrow, and hopefully my grave problem will be solved.

3 more full days until we head to Texas for Christmas. It's going to be a quick trip, but one filled with joy, no doubt. I just love Christmas.

We got our Over the Rhine Snow Angel album on vinyl in the mail today. I bet you can guess what we're doing tonight.
If you guessed laying on the couch watching the fire, staring at our pretty christmas tree, and singing "darlin', Christmas is comin'", then you are correct. Congratulations.

This video made me smile and say "aww" so many times. Watch it. Seriously, it's one of the sweetest, cutest Christmas video's I've seen.

4 Christmases

This year will be the 4th Christmas Andrew and I have spent together.
Even though this one is extra special because it's our first married christmas, it is still fun to look back on the past Christmases (that word looks weirder every time I look at it), see how much we have changed, and think about where we have come from in our relationship. 

I feel so blessed to have gotten 4 Christmases with this wonderful guy of mine, and I look forward to a whole lot more. 
2008 (the year of big hair)

2009 (the year it snowed in Texas on Christmas!)

2010 (Engaged Christmas)

This year (our "first" Christmas)
