December

Ten days into the month and this is my first blog post.

My excuses are as follows: finals, work, and stress.

Now that I'm on winter break (YES!!) and it's the weekend, I can post :)

Since my car is pretty much worthless, I test drove a Chevy Blazer over one weekend.

It's not exactly what I had in mind, but it is a very nice car and in great condition.

Now I'm just waiting for the dealership to change the odometer because

it's from Canada so everything is in the metric system!

After that is done, it's mine :)

Here's the car! It still had the dealership stickers and stuff which was fun to drive around in.

And her's the odometer!

I'm really excited to get a new car!

Every December 1st, my cousin Chelsea and I go to Starbucks

for some Christmas drinks. We've been doing it for four years now.

Family Christmas party!

One thing I love to do every winter is make hot chocolate

with whipped cream and sprinkles.

It's pretty serious.

Ten years ago this Christmas, this 4 foot tree was our tree.

We were moving on December 26 so everything was packed.

Now, this tree is in our entry way in addition to our regular Christmas tree.

I decorated it this year.

I like that all the ornaments on it are crystal :)

Out front, there are extension cords that have to cross the entry way for the

outdoor Christmas lights. We duct tape them down to the concrete

so nobody trips. This year I decided to be festive

and get candy cane patterned tape!

I love it

I finally found a black coat!

I got this at JC Penney.

It was originally $200, but I got it on sale for $66!!

And this was after I sold back my textbooks for $78, soo it was free :)

Overall, December has been great so far. I can't wait until

the family parties start and we all come together on Christmas.

I absolutely love winter, both for the weather and the holidays.

I miss my boy though. Last Christmas, he was in boot camp.

He got to leave for one day through a special program and I got to Skype him.

It was the best Christmas present ever ♥

I hope your December is going awesome!!
