last couple weeks...

Life has been pretty crazy the last couple weeks. We got our house all ready to move in. There was one day that both Brett and I had off and we could use our family for help. So last Sunday was our day to move. I was sooo excited to get off work on Saturday so I could go home and pack and move. And then I got even more excited when I got off work and it was snowing. It made me so happy! I love the snow! And then I started driving in it....and the happiness left. Driving in the parking lot at work was horrible and I was not excited about getting on the road with other people. I got out onto Sunnyside Avenue and was feeling great. I stopped a good car length behind a car and waited for my turn to turn onto Foothill. Well next thing I know is I hear a grind and my car is sliding down into the car in front of me. Yes I had just been rear-ended and was pushed into the car infront of me. Such a horrible feeling of not being in control of my car and not being able to stop. I instantly started crying and called my husband. Long story short my parents drove my husband up to me so that he could drive me home, there was no way he!! that I was driving home that night.

Well Sunday morning we got all packed up and had everything out of our apartment within a couple hours(thanks to our families for all their help). We were completely in our house and basically all unpacked by 5:00 Sunday night. It was so nice to have it go fast and not having to worry about it.

I spent 3 days taking strands off and putting on strands, buying lights and changing blown fuses but our tree is finally up and looking amazing if I may say so myself. I have such a pride in myself that I did it all on my own. I am loving decorating my house for Christmas. I love Christmas time and decorating for it is one of my favorite things.

This is the best season. I love the energy that people have around the holidays. I love that this season is all about family and being together. I hope that during this season we can all remember why we celebrate this season. Lets not forget what this season is truely about. Its not about the material things that we recieve as gifts. Its about our family, sacrifices that have been made for our lives and the fact that we live in the world we do.
