Hustle and bustle, i.e. black friday

The picture sums up my black friday shopping survival kit, gloves and a big hot peppermint mocha : D

There have been some amazing outfits so far this morning too. I can't imagine leaving the house or even the bedroom in some of the garb. Granted I'm very casually dressed but my hair is brushed and gathered, my jeans cover my butt, and my sweatshirt is clean. If camera phones weren't so loud I'd take a few pictures. It would sure make for a good laugh later, ha!

The morning shopping efforts didn't start out too well for me. I struck out on three out of three things that I really wanted to get at the store. Thankfully I was able to get two of the items online even though one wasn't on sale online (just in the store). Now I'm waiting patiently for a few stores to open so that I can finish up with gifts and switch over to a few self treats : D

Its been too long

As I am coming to the realization that Thanksgiving 2010 is just a week away and that on December 1st I will have been married to a great guy for 6 years it has caused me to reflect on the events over the past year and beyond. And SO many things have happened over the past year. Some good, some sad and some hopeful. I've prayed more over this year than ever before in my life. Prayers of pleading, of thanks and of tears that only He could translate. But as I look off toward the new year I have a new found hope and vigor that it will be better than the last. New friendships will become stronger and closer, love for my husband will grow, and hopefully our little family unit will begin to expand once more. I have said time and time again that friends are the family you choose and I am sure liking the view right now :)
