a cozy (almost) christmas weekend


on our agenda:
watch 'elf' (check)
sleep in (check)
eat pancakes (check)
tidy up our little apt.
make a grocery run
sweat our little buns off at the y
head off to the movies to see 'hugo' (have you read this book? it's great!)
church
christmas carols
appetizers with some of my favorite people

sometimes i get so excited just looking over a list - knowing the possibilities of how great each little thing could be/is/was.

for example, is anything sexier than watching your husband mop the kitchen floor? i think, no.

this is my favorite week of the whole entire year. i sway between wanting christmas to be here right this second and then remembering how much i love the anticipation, the waiting, the dreaming, the wrapping, the twinkling lights, the carols. waiting for that wonderful day is just as much fun as when it actually comes (in my book).

things to do this week:
read 'two from galilee'
finalize plans for the last week of my first semester teaching
celebrate my 25th birthday
celebrate two beautiful years of marriage
head home for the first time since july
celebrate the birth of my savior

(doesn't that sound like the best week ever?! i think, yes.)
