This year has gone by fast

This post is mostly for journaling. Actually, I love Halloween, but now that its over I can focus on the other holidays. Who am I kidding, right now my focus is on moving into our house this weekend. I am way excited to be able to move in, have my own stuff and begin to decorate. Once I have moved in, then I can focus on the holidays. I have a friend who is so great to make all her gifts and start early. My mother-in-law usually is asking me in August, what we want for Christmas. I almost always respond with, "Are you kidding, I am so not there yet, let me get to Halloween first".

I admire those who are so on top of it when it comes to the holidays. I always aspire to be on top of it, but as I have looked back at my holidays I realize that I have not really ever been in a position to be on top of it. For the first five years of my marriage I was a career woman and working all the time, then, since we have had Kya we have really been on the "move". This move into our house this weekend will be our fifth move in just over a year. Crazy! And can you believe it....I am actually thinking of our next "house remodel project".

Ok, so now, that I have rambled a little, just to get my thoughts down in writing, I can move past Halloween and move on to the next big thing. By the way...if you are reading this and you are preparing yourself for the holidays...don't forget those Christmas cards and that memorable family picture. Holidays are fast approaching, check out www.paulakphotography.blogspot.com and schedule a session.

Can't wait for the holidays....I just wish I could get my body temperature to regulate and keep me warm. Burrr!

okay...I'm not one of those people either. I would like to be 'all done' by August, but I'm not. Ohwell. You're still a great mommy and wife! :)

I think half the fun of the holidays is the shopping and gift making projects in November and December, so I think you are right on schedule. Let us know how we can help this weekend, we are excited for you.
