Second Anniversary

I know, we are the most adorable couple ever. December 18, 2004 really feels like much farther away then 2 years. Marriage is great- I highly recommend it!

I love our Christmas... Tree?

Once again Nathaniel and I are headed out of town for almost 2 weeks for Christmas. This fantastic (not to mention needed) vacation plan leaves us, once again, unable to get a live Christmas tree for fear that it will burn down our house mid party with the ornaments while we're away. Getting a fake tree has been proposed, but storage space is a definite problem in our little house- so, this year we've come to have a Christmas tree/banister. And what better place to hang the stockings too?!

Winter

Hooray! Winter is here. Too bad the winter out here in MD just means COLD, not necessarily snow. In any case- good timing to bust out those huge warm sweaters to cover my expanding...everything.

This weekend cousin Zerelda and baby Joseph came to hang out with us. The ambitious adventure of the weekend was to trek to Ikea to buy a new bookshelf to organize all of my crafts, etc. in the 2nd bedroom closet. I'm thrilled. I can actually see all of the yarn, scrapbook stuff, books, etc. that I have AND get to them all easily. It's fantastic.
