December 10

-I love that people seem more cheery and kind right now. If only that could last the whole year.

-We are about due for another snowfall. It’s starting to get mushy and brown and melting way too fast. I’m dreaming of a white Christmas.

-Today is my friend Carly's birthday. We were best friends in elementary and then she moved away. But I still always remember her birthday for some reason. Random.

-Is it really December 10^th already? I wish the Christmas season was longer. There are too many wonderful Christmas things to do. Our stack of Christmas movies to be watched is still mile high. There is still a half a pan of fudge to be eaten. And all those festive activities? We’ll have to squeeze them in somehow. 2 of them will come this weekend on date number 5 and 6.

-I survived being home alone while Brandon was on his 2^nd business trip. That just sounds so grown up. Are we really old enough to be going on business trips? I have to admit that the first few hours of being home alone were fun. I popped in White Christmas and ate a whole bag of popcorn. {Insert gasp here} But after that, it just got lonely. I had to attend my work’s fancy Christmas dinner solo and a big empty bed doesn’t stay as warm when he’s not around. I’m excited to have him back. And he looks excited to be back too.
