Thanksgiving weekend

Thanksgiving weekend came and went. It was SO NICE to have a long four day weekend to do….absolutely nothing!

Mom was out of town in Carlsbad, New Mexico with some of her siblings…and her parents (who currently no longer reside in Mexico…) it seems their health is going downhill fast. I believe it’s all my mom thinks about these days. Understandably so.

Dad and I took care of each other at home…had our own little turkey-day meal…and it was so nice. A very stress-free holiday. And the time off from work allowed me to catch up on sleep and with friends. (minus the fact that i made an 8am Starbucks date with Paige on Thanksgiving morning…needless to say, i showed up in my jammies. and then slept 4 more hours after i got home)

I visited my favorite little Forsyth family in fayetteville…ate a second Thanksgiving dinner, had life discussion with lisa, and cuddled as much as i could with little Troy. (he’s already three weeks old now, and even more adorable!)

i loveLOVElove his hair. and how he smells. is it weird that i like to smell babies? lisa’s such a good mommy. and pete is a natural daddy, too.

this month has been a double-whammy…i got to see nate TWICE! him and aimee flew in for the holiday. considering we wanted aimee to get the most of her first georgia experience…we made a night trip to Waffle House.

WaHo is my only exception for drinking bottomless vanilla coke…and eating hash browns. smothered, diced, and chunked. the tummy ache is SO worth it.

the chocolate chip waffle.

if there were only two words to describe mine and jared’s relationship…CUDDLY WUDDLY. i mean, just look how happy!

oh, the holidays.

up-and-coming:

1- my overdue haircut. thank you, ryan, for being so accommodating and fitting me in…because the 10th is no longer do-able.

2- thank you mr. boss for being so accommodating and giving me the 8th and 9th off. i do love 4 days weekends :) …especially when they come about so unexpectedly the way this one has!

3- i also marked myself off the calendar at work for two weeks in January. Hello Italy!

4- decorating for Christmas! how i love it. this calls for a trip to Hobby Lobby. the office is counting on me.

love, whit

  1. Your love and glee at the holiday season is infectious! I’m in Georgia too, and you’re right about the WaHo experience! LOL.
    Hobby Lobby is the BEAST for decorating, I can’t go in there and come out spending less than $50 each time so I have to stay away…it’s a hardship, lol.
    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

  2. What a great new year present to yourself – Italy:)I am finally getting in the mood to decorate for the Christmas Holiday. That little guy is so cute and I can see why you want to eat him all up! Have a Great Week.

    • thanks!! i do feel like it will be a great start to the year. :)
      even though Christmas seems to have been in the stores forever now, i feel like it has suddenly creeped up on me and will be here in no time!
