twas the week before christmas... and i swear i have never felt busier! however, i can't complain because i am busy with very exciting things!  TONIGHT/visiting with allie and kellie. i met these two ladies while working at the movie theatre. we have been friends for 5 years. they are my rock! seriously, there is nothing but good times, laughs, hugs, and honesty between the 3 of us.i cant show my appreciation to them enough!
 THURSDAY/stephenie and kristian's rehersal dinner. steph and kristian and getting married on december 20th! i am so happy and excited for them. these guys have been together for over 5 years, and they are finally sealing the deal! i cannot wait to exerience their wedding!
 FRIDAY/christmas with my girls. from l to r: karolyn, stephenie, amber, and me (amy). friday is also the night before steph's wedding, so i am sure we will be all giddy with nervous excitement. i have known these fabulous ladies for over 10 years. we have been through so much together; middle school, high school, prom, falling in love, getting our hearts broken, weddings, babies (for steph at least!), laughs, tears, screams, then laughs again. i dont know what my heart would do without them.
 SATURDAY/stephenie and kristian's wedding! its going to be a great day, though it may be FREEZING! the PNW is experiencing very odd weather for our region of the USA. its cold! like, really cold! but nevertheless! we will pose our butts off for steph's wedding photos, all with honest smiles. i am so happy for these two, they have been through so much together! this natural step for their relationship will be an honor to witness.
Then saturday leads to a day of nothing on sunday, because i am sure i am going to be exhausted. then sunday leads to monday, which is the first day of christmas week. i am sure work will be lame, but it will pass, tuesday will pass, then it will be christmas eve! and i will get to spend the day with my lovely family.  RIGHT NOW/before all my plans start, i am going to go hang out with this guy. my really cute husband.
i hope everyone has a lovely christmas, remember how exciting this time of year can be! and stay warm, no matter where you are! |
