OK so I really do love Thanksgiving - promise, but this year I jumped a little ahead of Thanksgiving and have moved right into Christmas. I love this time of year. We had so many wonderful memories of Christmas growing up and even now as an adult, it is fabulous. Brent is wonderful in that he understands my wacky passion for Christmas and even lets me have this holiday. Those of you who are married know that one of the hardest parts of the holidays is sharing the time among all your families. Thankfully my in-laws are understanding, but more importantly my husband understands and I get to spend actual Christmas morning (which usually starts as earl at 6am at my sister's house) with my family!
Anyway, I put up our decorations this weekend. I even rearranged the apartment to "uncover" our fireplace. If you've visited us in Nashville, you will recall that our TV was sitting on the hearth of the fireplace. Well no longer. I figured out a way to run the cable across the floor so we could have our TV on a different wall. Yes, it is very redneck apartment living, but hey - when else in your life can you get away with a cable running across the living room floor and it is totally acceptable?!
So the house is decorated for Christmas. I even bought some frames for a few Christmas scrapbook pages to hang on the walls for decorations. It's a really neat idea AND gives me an excuse to showcase my hard work with my pages.
I am headed to Chattanooga this week for Thanksgiving - staying with Mom and Dad a few days then with Brittany so we do our annual cookie extravaganza on Saturday - 4 years running now! Brent's working Thursday through Sunday at Opryland - 35 hours total!!! He will be one pooped turkey, but he's really excited about it. (Really...promise)
Oh yeah by the way, I got the boot off last week! I went to the doctor and he said I am free from the boot! I've been "weaning" myself off of it the past few days. Today is my first full day without it. Hopefully the foot will be "reconditioned" for the big shopping day on Friday.
GOBBLE GOBBLE!!

yay! I am hoping to have our christmas decor up prior to your arrival. fingers crossed. so excited about our cookie extravaganza. 4 years, really? I can not believe it! Oh and we have matching cables by the way except mine is like that probably 300 days out of the year. You have seen it, but I hide it for most. So don't restrict the redneck cable to the apartment only look since we moncriefs like to sport it too :) see ya soon!
