Happy Thanksgiving Eve!

In honor of this special holiday, my office closes at noon... which means that I only have to work for 3 hours today! YESSS!!! And the best part is that I get paid for all of today. In fact, although I will not be back to work until Tuesday, I will still get paid for those 3 1/2 days!! Working for the goverment certainly has its perks :-)

Last night, Brandon and I went shopping for Christmas decorations. We bought a wreath, a candle holder with garland and red berries, a cute stuffed snowman, a nativity scene, a fake pointsettia, stockings, and some ornaments for our tree. I LOVE Christmas!!! Also, tomorrow marks the start of the Christmas season. I've been ready and waiting for it for months now.

After shopping, we went home and drank hot chocolate and played Monopoly, which isn't that much fun with only two people, and is even less fun when your opponent has two good monopolies and all you have is Mediterranean and Baltic, ugh. We also watched the end of Dancing with the Stars results show... sorry Jenny, you were good but not good enough. I am now a full-fledged Helio fan. He did soooo good on Monday, he deserves to win and I'll be voting for him!!

We leave tomorrow morning for California and I'm so excited I might pee my pants!! It's my favorite time of the year and I get to spend it with my favorite people in the world. Thank you Jesus for all of life's blessings for which I am so incredibly undeserving but which you have given me anyways out of love and grace!!
