The most wonderful time of the year!

So my post is a little late considering it is about 4 days until Christmas, But I absolutely Love Christmas time! My favorite thing is to have the fireplace going, drink hot Wassail (or Hot Chocolate) And watch ABC families' 25 days of Christmas on TV at night during the week (Especially when they play the Christmas Classics like Rudolph and Frosty, but i always seem to be at work when those ones are on! blahh )(when I'm not working or busy, unfortunately this year it isn't very often that I'm not busy working).
This Year Darin and I got a little Christmas tree for our apartment, A real one! Ive always had fake ones and He has always had real ones, so... we went with the real one, and I know this sounds really pathetic but Christmas tree shopping was harder than i thought, and not because it took us hours to find the perfect tree, but because i felt bad for all the defective little trees!! I wanted to get one that was scantily bristled so he could fulfill his Christmas destiny But Darin just wouldn't have that! So we compromised (sort of) and got one that is only a little flat on the back side (which worked out just fine for him since one side has to go against the wall anyway).





Darin and I have had a fun first (Married) Christmas together so far, We went a little overboard buying gifts for one another (for some reason we both like to buy things for one another a little too much, i have a feeling this won't last ha ha) But It's been fun spending the holidays with one another and baking little treats and making him be my taste tester! I got us some new ornaments for our tree as well, I like the Ornaments at Anthropologie, the ones that look kind of Homemade, so i got a couple to add to my collection, I even got one for Darin! here are some of my favorites.

This is my mermaid, Darin Hates her ha ha

Just a hint of embarrassment

I'm a little embarrassed to admit that I have jumped on the band wagon and have started reading the Twilight series, But not as embarrassed to admit that i actually LOVE it. I know I know, I thought the same thing, How could a book about a vampire and a human falling in love be good I mean it truly is the epitome of corny, Oh but how wrong I was! I have only read the first book, And i absolutely loved it, I really didn't have time to read it so I read it in between classes and on breaks at work and I finished the thing in three days!
Darin got me the series for Christmas and I'm chomping at the bit to read the second book!
So i guess the old saying is true "don't judge a book by it's cover" (Literally)!


And I mean come on, could the Edward in the movie be any cuter?

Thanksgiving 2008

This Thanksgiving Darin and I went to Lincolnton, NC and spent time with his WHOLE family! It was a short trip with tons of people tons of food tons of dogs and not such a big space, but we all had a great time!
Here are some pictures of the day:
