Christmas Eve Day

Charlie Brown Christmas is one of my most favorite Christmas movies...along with Frosty! I'm usually the type of person that has all of the their Christmas shopping done and decorations up before December even begins...usually...not this year though. So much has happened over the last couple weeks and I'm still trying to catch up. I'm not in my duplex yet...hopefully soon...so, I'm still staying with my sister. It will be fun to stay with her family for the Holidays, but I can't help but feel like I'm living out of a suit case. Last night JD and I went to dinner and exchanged Christmas presents; it was a lot of fun, just like old times, but this morning he left for Argentina. It was hard but I'm excited for the new things to come. So, now on Christmas Eve day I finally have some free time to get the rest of my shopping done. Merry Christmas!!

CRAZY!!!

I'm going crazy...I'm just waiting for the men in white coats to drag me a way! We've had a laundry list of things to finish on the house before it was official. Now that the list is complete I've been starting to pack. It's been a lot harder than I planned on, but also very therapeutic...so is the wine rack, if I drink all the wine I don't have to pack it! I keep saying I don't have that much stuff to pack, and then I open another drawer or closet and list goes on. I found a duplex in Bountiful, but it won't be ready before I need to be out of my house. So, I'll move in with my sister until it's ready. Maybe living with a couple kids for a little while will help me have some compassion for those of my dear friends with kids during this hectic season! JD is leaving Christmas morning for Argentina; traveling on the actual Holiday is saving him a lot of money. We have really cut things down to the wire: we sign the papers over on the house and then JD leaves a week later...I am truly blessed!!!! Things have just really worked out! Now, will someone please bless me with sanity!

Twilight the Movie

I went with Friends on Saturday to see Twilight. After reading all four of the Twilight saga books I was very excited to actually get to see this movie played out on the big screen instead of in my head. It wasn't a let down...but it wasn't the best either. It didn't exactly follow the same story line, but what book to movie does. It was totally low budget; the special effects were jumpy and unrealistic, and when Edward glittered in the sun it was the cheesiest part of the whole movie! AND Edward's supposed to be a millionaire, right? Then why was he wearing the same clothes through the whole movie?...a button down levi shirt?! Did the book ever mention Edward's part monkey? I didn't think so either...but he sure does climb through trees like one! Okay, enough with the bad...in with the good! James, a total HOTTIE! Edward, much hotter than I was expecting. Carlisle, WOW...I only wish he played a bigger part! Bella, great! Alice, wonderful! Rosalie, awesome! I was told by several people that you have to see the movie twice. Once to get a first impression and critique it like I did and second to sit back and actually enjoy the movie. So, I'll take their advice and I'm going to go see it again at the box office! I'll post again after my second viewing.

It's Official!...SOLD

We accepted an offer on our house. We are scheduled to close on December 17th. Now comes the hard part...trying to find a place to rent in Bountiful with two big dogs!!! Keep your eyes and ears open for me, I can't afford much...
