a recap

the past few months have been pretty chaotic. not britney chaotic, but crazy none-the-less.

in november, john and i celebrated our fourth wedding anniversary by taking a trip to ft. scott, kansas and treating ourselves to a night at a bed and breakfast. the house was amazing. our room was a mini suite with a 50 inch hdtv complete with static. it was awful. we watched "the princess bride" with more lines across the screen than i care to remember. we also got a couple's massage which was held in the b&b's spa. and by spa, i mean underground room with two massage tables and incense. we both enjoyed the massage - especially when the "mood music" was playing loud waves crashing and i started cracking up because i thought john was snoring.

november also consisted of thanksgiving, lots of holiday shopping and a trip to dallas for me. while in dallas, i got to meet my little brother, cody's girlfriend. her name is lizzie and they are in LUUUUVVV. seriously, it's so weird to see my 14 year old brother with a girlfriend - but he's happy. and, a month and a half later they are still together so it must be serious ;)

december flew by. with all of the holiday parties, holidays and my birthday, it was crazy. also in december, my bff alison had her baby. on december 21st (my brother michael's birthday) she gave birth to my little angel, emma madison. she's super cute but super fussy (or so i have been told). good thing i bought her a bouncy chair - it's the only thing she sleeps in. what a good investment.

christmas was mostly good. we decided to spend christmas eve alone and spend christmas day with john's family. on christmas eve we went to mass at 4 (NEVER doing that again) and then i cooked an amazing dinner of turkey breast, sweet potatoes, dressing, asparagus and for dessert - pecan pie. we also started a new tradition this year to get rid of all of our junky ornaments. on christmas eve we each gave each other a new ornament. mine was very sentimental and handmade (not by me, duh) while john presented me with an adorable hallmark keepsake ornament. i really like this tradition! christmas day we went to john's parents at about 11 and were there ALL DAY. that's all i am going to say about that.

new years was mellow as usual. we played a little bit of guitar hero and watched the dmb piedmont park dvd. naturally, we were in bed by 12:05.

and there you have it.
