I love scarves. I practically wear one every day in the fall/winter. So, when I found this tutorial, I got really psyched: 25 ways to wear a scarf in 4.5 minutes. Oh what fun!

5 days left
The holidays are quickly approaching.
Are you ready?
I'm all done with everything. Bragger, I know. I'm actually adding things to my to do list just because I don't want to be done yet.
Yep, I'm crazy like that.
How are you spending your last 5 days before Christmas?
Hopefully, not stressed. Just remember the reason for the season, curl up on the couch with a loved one and cup of hot cocoa, pop in your favorite Christmas movie (Elf) and all will be well.
I promise.
Merry almost Christmas!

Fast away the old year passes

Big breath in...sigh.
December is quickly flying by and I'm trying to soak up every bit of the month, holiday and cheer.
 |
| Acting embarrassed, but let's be honest. |
As you know, my birthday was last week and I got the BEST present! I met up with some amazing women, ate tacos and drank margaritas, had happy birthday sung to me by the local Mexican restaraunt employees (who then pied me in the face...yes, true story) and then went to a girlfriend's house to watch Christmas movies where I was surprised by my husband!
IS THAT NOT THE BEST DAY EVER!?

The hubs drove a car from Ft. Collins, Co., to Denver where he hopped on a plane to fly to Kansas City, Mo., and then got back in his car to drive home to surprise me. What an amazing man I am married to. Seriously, I'm one blessed gal, this I know.
I love December because I get to kick the month off with my birthday and then relish in the cheer and joy of the season for the rest of the month.
One of my favorite things to do is watch Christmas movies. It drives the hubs mad. He'll be at a meeting tonight so I'm going to watch Home Alone in my pjs in my bed with a cup of hot coco. I'm a Christmas freak, I tell ya.

| {It's a Wonderful Life} |
My fourth favorite Christmas movie, after Elf, The Santa Clause and Home Alone, is It's a Wonderful Life. The hubs hates it. Says it makes him depressed. My mother-in-love agrees with him. Crazy. It's suppose to do the exact opposite. Make you appreciate life, your loved ones and all that we are blessed with. I told them this, but they made me turn it off. At least my father-in-love likes it. Apparently, he cries like a baby when its on. I can't wait to cry with him this Christmas :)

Today is my birthday

I'm sure its all in my perspective. God has really been doing a lot with my heart this year. And this birthday, I feel so much gratitude and humility for all the love I have been given and shown. In the past, I took it all for granted and just expected it or felt entitled to it all. But this year, I've realized how much it all really is a gift. This birthday, my dear friends have blessed me with the gift of time. My hubs is away on my birthday doing med school stuff, so I would be spending my birthday alone. But I asked my girlfriends if they'd spend the evening with me at a Mexican restaurant eating tacos and drinking margaritas. And I am truly blessed by all those who are giving up their friday evening to spend it with me. In the past, I would have been ok and happy spending it alone - watching movies alone, cuddling up on the couch alone, eating pasta alone, drinking wine alone. But God has made me aware that he did not create me to be alone. That life is about fellowship and community. And that is the best gift a girl could receive on her 28th birthday. Friendship.
