Snow thoughts.

I am currently sitting in the office in our house. Junie B. is snuggled down in my lap covered in her blankey (that dog isn't spoiled is she?) The snow is STILL falling outside the window next to my desk and i keep thinking about going to make a cup of coffee but its 4:16 pm and i think Junie will be wild if i wake her up. Daniel hooked up in speakers in the office this morning in our cleaning frenzy so i am listening to the CD Sing Over Me (GET THIS CD!!) so good.

I should be working harder on these Thank-Yous from our wedding (okay, dont judge me. We got married right in the middle of the holiday season and i have been a very busy girl!) I keep thinking of the blog Brett Baker did right after she got married entitled "pooped penman"..or maybe that was just the tag..i cant remember. Anyway, i am VERY MUCH SO relating to her blog. The Thank Yous never end! I think it partially takes me forever because i feel a strong obligation to fill the card at least on one side. i mean these are friends and family. i should have a lot to say! Anyway, i am breaking from writing to type. Daniel is upstairs painting the bathroom..thank the Lord for a husband who can do it all!

Daniel woke up at 6 am to get out on HIS favorite day of the year. What? the day AFTER Christmas? Who likes THAT day? You see, the day after Christmas all the Christmas lights and stuff goes massively on sale. and Daniel is so first in line. I woke up to Daniel standing over me smiling and giving me the lowdown on Junies Bathroom activities.. ie: i took her out and she did two pees and one poop." ( i know. i told daniel you know you're an old married couple when you start the day off telling each other what the dog did outside.) By this point Junie is already back in the bed under the covers because obviously it is the warmest spot in the house. Daniel slips out so quick i only realize he's gone when i get the text that he is going crazy at Garden Ridge,lol. So now we have TONS of Christmas lights and Daniel is already planning how he is going to deck the house out next year. Hey, before i forget. Your invited to our house next Christmas. really. You're going to want to see the lights, lol.

I hope you had a beautiful Christmas! Being married def makes Christmas more fun! Daniel and I were like little kids again waking up at 5 am (much to Junie's delight seeing how she usually has to lay in bed until 6). During our Christmas tradition (after everything is done and the day is settled we open a bottle of sparkling cider and enjoy the last minutes of Christmas day) Daniel called it "Believers Juice" to which we both laughed and laughed..and i still think that was funny,lol. Christian humor for you.lol. We toasted to our new beginning as our first married Christmas, our 6th Christmas together and to a Savior who has truly been abundantly generous to us. May we live lives painfully generous to those around us who have not yet understood the generosity of a Savior who died a murderers death upon the cross to save us.
Merry Christmas.
