a little humor...

so my sister-in-law and i are very close. we talk nearly everyday.

so last night, my sister-in-law calls to tell me that my brother, her husband, says to her... "sometimes i think you married me for my sister."

...and she didn't deny it! lol

and since i'm in the christmas spirit and all...

some pics of our christmas decorations...

winter wonderland!

an e-mail i send out this morning...

if you are or know anyone in the same vacinity as us, then you're likely taking or receiving lots of pics like this! in case you don't know, we rarely see snow down here, and it's even more rare when it sticks to the ground! so i thought i'd share with yall the little piece of winter we got to experience last night... real snow! fabulous!












the white streaks you see in some of the pics are falling flakes... crap camera, i guess. :/

happy birthday to ME...

that's right... i turned 30 years old on wednesday. and, after a little introspecting, i realized i was not as upset/sad/grief-stricken as i thought i might be at the passing of this birthday milestone. i felt very loved, actually. my husband made me feel special without doing anything special. i got tons of calls and text messages and emails... i actually stopped responding to them around dinnertime! i feel like i'm moving into another phase of my life... like i've done everything i was suppose to do in my 20s (growing, falling, growing some more)... i think i'm ready for my 30s.

yeah, i said it... thirty-something, watch out here i come.
