Hooray for Holidays

So it's finally Christmastime...I really do love this time of year. I love Christmas music and lights and the feeling in the air, it really is magical. We had a nice low-key thanksgiving at my parents house, a distinct contrast between last years hectic gathering before the wedding. I had lots of homework I was supposed to do this weekend, I didnt do any of it...oh well, that makes for a VERY busy week this week. I hate it when that happens. I went shopping on "black friday" with my mom and gramma, I think thats the first time I've ever been, and it really wasn't as bad as I expected, Target was the only place I wanted to run people down. I will be avoiding that store until sometime in January. Yesterday was our wedding anniversary, I really can't believe its already been an entire year! It blows the mind. I kept thinking about what I was doing last year all during the day, I would look at the clock and say "at 10am we were decorating the reception hall", "at 2pm I was getting my hair done" etc etc, it was neat to think of yesterday in terms of our wedding day. Eddie brought me flowers and we exchanged gifts...I got a second wedding band to wear on top of my anniversary ring, so now I have a band on each side, how stoked was I?!?!?!?!? Man, I got myself a keeper : ) Either that, or he got tired of me "hinting" about it, ha ha ha. We had a lovely dinner at The Painted Lady in Norfolk, we had the little private wine room to ourselves and there were only 2 other tables with people at them. It was perfect. We came home and cut the cake, it wasnt as good as our wedding cake, but I spose everything tastes better on your wedding day. (For anyone who doesnt know-our Fridge conked out while we were out of town so we lost everything in the fridge/freezer, including, the top layer of our beloved wedding cake, so I had the top of it re-created to eat on our anniversary) I let Eddie smash some cake into my face this time : ) I think I'll be going home tonight to watch the wedding dvd and reminisce further.
