Christmas holiday adventures

This year Christmas has been really fun. Not only was it spent with my family and friends but it was also a fun time with Dave's family. I still dont know them all that well but it is fun getting to know them better.

Here you can see Dave holding my nephew Elijah on my parents couch. It was Christmas day after morning worship and he and i had just finished peeling potatoes.
"Oh what fun it is to peel a dozen potatoes or so, oh..."

Is he not one of the most handsome men you've ever seen? Maybe im just bias but i certainly think he is one real hottie. I can write that too. I dont mind if he knows, but he doesnt check this site so all is well.

Here we are again, this time with my niece. She was playing with my little brothers phonics toy and was making me do all the letter writing while she snuggled with Dave and I.

Dave bought me these stunning gold earings that are in the shape of a hollow hear with a butterfly with diamonds in it on the side. Its hard to describe i guess but they are beautiful. Then he also made me something. He works with wood, so he made me a mini swinging bench to hang on my ceiling and he bought me two stuffed bears. One is smaller than the other because I am much shorter then him. He said he was going to make me a rocking chair but didnt have the hardware. He came up with a very sweet idea with the swing and the bears. I would have given him a big hug right then and there but his whole family was there as i opened it and i wasnt sure if i was allowed to hug him. Amazingly thoughtful present. But thats Dave. He seems to be good at knowing what to get or do or say.

Tonight, i am having my best friend, her fiance and Dave all come over. My best friend (Vanessa) and i will be making dinner for the two men. I am so excited about it. Its the first from scratch meal i will have made. By myself that is. My mom told me what to do but i did it. I just switched tenses because I have already made the sauce part for the lasagna that we will be having because it takes the longest time. But the rest of it, we will make together.

I am actually not working for the first time in several years for New YEars. So that means i actually get to attend Vanessas New Years party which is actually going to be different this year since her house is under renovations. But the company will still be awsome and i think thats what its all about really.

Well, this is my last post before the new year so may you all have an amazing start to it.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

On the second day of Christmas my true love gave to me.... you know that song? Well, i decided that i would create my own version for Dave this year for Christmas. Of course, the song is actually start on Christmas and go for 12 days... but that would have spoiled all my plans. So, today it is two turtle doves. I had fun with it for sure. I cant write all that i did because he might check this blog (though i dont think he ever does) and it would spoil everything. I am very excited for tomorrow though. Im taking Dave to the Messiah at the NAC. I cant wait. Its long but pretty. And it falls on Three French Hens which i converted to Three French Horns.

Yesturday i got to spend my day off work sick. I felt terrible all day. Nothing really happened but i was so uncomfortable. Not sure if it was minor food poisoning or stomach flu. Either way, im feeling much better today and am very happy about that.

I was reading Second Corinthians this morning. Its so odd to read it and know that the Corinthian church was being persuaded not to love Paul. Can you believe it? i guess so, i mean i can too but its odd to think about. We have his letter to this church because they were so proud of how good they were. In first Corinthians, Paul tells them they are so great as a way of getting his point across. He obviously had a sense of humour to be able to write to them the way he did. And i cant get over how much i love those two books. When i dont knw whatto read, i always go to those books. Its packed full of good stuff.

I just realize today when my boss came into my office to offer to take me out to lunch tomorrow that i only have one and a half days of work left. Half a day left today, half a day tomorrow and half a day Monday. Exciting and scary at the same time. God will open some doors but i have to strat trying some. Ive been so occupied with things that i havent been lookin hard enough.

My best friend is coming home Friday. i wont see her until Sunday but still. Im so excited. i miss her so much. i havent seen her since we went wedding dress shopping. When was that even? Early Novemeber i think.

Anyways, i think thats good for now. i want to eat my lunch now.

Today i had a very heavy head.

I dont know if that makes any sense to anyone but it does exist. I was in the grocery sotre with my mom and sister when i just started feeling weird. My entire head felt heavy and my body felt weak. I mentionned this to my mom and she got slightly concerned.

When we returned home, i lay down on the couch and was close to being unable to move at all. My nephew kept giving me toys and i could barely grab them from him. i just wanted to sleep. I finally got the strength to get up to go to the kitchen where i lay down on the counter (It felt just like my bed).

Perhaps im eating wrong or i am sick with something or i am just tired. But thats what i mean by a heavy head. It reall;y was heavy. and my head felt fuzzy. Ive just been sitting in my house reading and waiting for my laundry so thankfully i dont feel it as much. I plan on sleeping soon. I just dont look forward to waking up again.
