Eight Days & Counting....

So we're coming along....moving is SUCH a job!  Hubby has finally turned in his keys to his old job and is home to help with the move - eeesh, it's never ending.  We had a very successful garage sale last Saturday and after putting all of our big furniture on craigslist & facebook, we had it all sold in less than 48 hrs.  It's safe to say, things are coming along.  As of right now, the living room and office are PACKED!  Woohoo!  Tomorrow it's onto the kitchen.  :)  I'm going for one looooong massage once we make it to Monterrey.  That's all I have to say.

I don't know that I did much of a Christmas or New Years recap, but we had a wonderful Christmas.  Every year our church does a Christmas Eve service at this beautiful, old theater downtown.  It's such a neat way to welcome Christmas.  Hubby and I sing with the band and everyone is all dressed up for the occasion, the theater is decked out in Christmas decor and all the kids come energetic - it's one of my favorite events we do yearly.  A lot of work goes into preparing for it, but we'll miss it next year.  Check out this awesome video my cousin put together to recap our event at the Sanger.

New years was fun as well.  Hubby and I had to be up eeeeaaarrrllly the following morning, so we didn't exactly wait up to welcome 2012.  We did, however, manage to go out for dinner with my family and spend time playing card games, while sipping on sparkling cider.

That's about it for my holiday recap.  We had lots of cherished time with family and we were showered with all sorts of fun gifts.  We are really going to miss this place once we move, but we are oh so excited about the adventures ahead!  Eight days and counting....Happy 2012!

Monday Procrastination...

Whew!  What a fabulous weekend away hubby and I had (in ATL)!  From amazing restaurants and shopping to inspiring museums, we squeezed just about as much as our little eyes and feet could take in between a Friday and a Sunday.  If you follow PPS on twitter, you may have caught a glimpse of some of our weekend fun.  I have to say that a packed trip makes for a sweet homecoming.

I don't know about you, but I'm one of those girls who hates packing and just loathes unpacking.  So today has been one of those "catch up on laundry, unpack?, no bathe the pup & vacuum the floors, unpack?, but I have to rehearse my music oh yeah and unpack (how about tomorrow?)" kind of days.  I've done just about everything but unpacking that suitcase.  Oh well, at least I've been productive in other areas.

So Thanksgiving is in 10 days!  TEN days, can you believe it?!  I'm really looking forward to sharing some of my favorite holiday table setting ideas with you and a few yummy recipes too!  Check back this week and lets hope that my unpacking will be done by then.  :)
