It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Haven't updated in a while.  Here's what's been going on in our world lately.......we're pretty boring, but here it all is just in case you want to know:

We are really enjoying the cold weather.  It has been awesome!  We even saw some snow!!!!  Who would have thought?  It went from being beautiful 70*, then got colder with a little rain, then some snow, then more rain, then hot and sunny all in a matter of days.  Crazy Texas weather!  The snow definitely was coming down hard, and stuck to the ground in some places, but not at our house.  In fact, by the time I got home from work, it had already stopped snowing.  I did get to enjoy the snow at work though, but my camera was at home. :(  But all in all, it has definitely been a pretty good "winter" so far. 

My best guy friend from high school has enlisted in the air force.  He leaves for basic training next week.  He had a going away party in The Woodlands this past Wednesday and we got to see so many of our friends...and their cute babies!; The Flores's (of course)The Koehlers, The Kuhns, The Chandlers, The soon-to-be Hinojosas, Emi, Ben, Will...so much fun!  One of these days Trisha and I will join mommyhood with the others, but for now, we enjoyed everyone else's babies!  I'm excited for Marcus and sad at the same time.  The military is such a bittersweet thing.  I appreciate all they do but it makes me sad to see people have to go to war and such.  Luckily, I will get to hang out with Marcus's wife, Amanda, and son, Landen,  a lot more since she will be living in The Woodlands while he is gone.  YAY! I'm excited!

Scott has still been working like crazy...and it looks like it is only going to get crazier.  LONG hours...LOTS of overtime.  The overtime is nice, but i sure like having my hubby home with me more often.  Oh well, do it while we can, right?

Christmas is approaching fast.  I am almost done shopping.  Only a few gifts left to buy.  I plan on getting most of it done this weekend while Scott is working.  And hopefully we will get the lights on the house.  I will post pics soon.  The tree and mantle decorations have been up for a while now.  We are really excited about Christmas this year.  It will be my first Christmas with my in laws.  We are trying the "every other year" method.  Last year was Christmas with my family, this year with his. We also alternate Thanksgiving as well.  Seems to be working out pretty good so far.  Mom is definitely having a hard time with the fact that I wont be with her this Christmas, BUT, we will be spending New Years with them.  We are also going to Schlitterbahn's Christmas next weekend with them.  I just love this time of year.  Everything about this season is just so magical and makes me happy!

Hope everyone has an amazing Christmas season....and ALWAYS remember the Reason for the Season!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JESUS!!!!!
