somebody got time to blog

and they got a new camera
and they had a great christmas
and they have a handsome new nephew
and they got an entire week off of work to play with family






but i can't tell you who. that just wouldn't be fun.

something new! something new!

i came home for the weekend just in time to enjoy my new christmas wreath.



then i woke up the next day to a coat of new Christmas snow.


so i spent most of the weekend alone in front of jesse's new christmas present (he was studying, you see).



and finally resorted to practicing my top model faces with the new hair.


hope everyone else enjoyed a few new pleasures...

so this is christmas... and other updates

my, my. time flies when you are having fun. and, trust me, plenty of fun has been had in these parts.

i wish i had some photos to accompany this post, but i regretfully lack them. perhaps, if someone somewhere had room in his super kind heart to get me a new camera for christmas (i won't name names, but you know who you are) that could be remedied.

just to list some cool items of late:

a visit to benihana -- aka asian hooters (minus the nagasakis)
a stay in downtown slc
partying with aunt missy
a week of 'relaxation' with the families in IF
my first (and last) true black friday experience
putting up my christmas tree
buying jesse's christmas present, firmly denying him access until dec. 25
chopping off my hair--all of it
setting up jesse's christmas present dec. 4 (way to stick to your guns, becca)
eagerly awaiting the impending arrival of yet another sweet nephew from my sister/bff

i love these days when i can honestly step back and realize how wonderful life is.

on top of all of this, we are in the middle of the season dedicated to goodwill and peace on earth. as strangers get just a little bit nicer (unless they are shoppers at a NY walmart) to each other and searching to find ways to help those in need, my heart is brightened.

so, if you are reading, feel free to belt out your own rendition of this tune:

A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!
AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!
LET'S HOPE IT'S A GOOD ONE,
WITHOUT ANY FEAR!
