A beautiful life


[Pictures of my hubby's handiwork: Laundry shelf (yay!), new Crate & Barrel shelves 1 & 2, engagement/wedding pictures and pics from the D hung with care. And our tree.!]


My friend Jordon commented earlier this week that her perception was that I was so busy she didn't know when I found time to eat and sleep, which of course was an exaggeration (especially to those of you who have kids to run around after!). However I guess I do pride myself on weekly management of a full schedule of a 45-50 hour work week, time with family & friends, keeping my house in relative order, running to the gym or on errands - but even then I have little twinges of guilt because I want to equally devote to my new marriage, but my hubby is awesome and he makes it as easy for me as possible. Bless his heart, he probably figured out long ago that I have a tendency to obsessively fill in scheduling holes as if they'd be snatched away from me if I don't! And thank goodness for my Comcast DVRs :). But I can't imagine what life will be like when we start having kids, I must admit that I'm more than a little bit afraid of what balls may fall out of my juggling act, but God-willing we'll figure out what to do when we get there.

All that said, I didn't take the time to blog for Thanksgiving, because I was actually too busy enjoying my time off of work! After the hustle & bustle of cooking/eating/shopping/visiting friends in town that took place Wednesday-Friday, I had a great Saturday with the Barton, we really took advantage of the rare weekend day where we had no plans or other obligations. We parted ways just in the morning when I went to a yoga class and he retrieved Christmas decorations out of storage, then after lunch we did some stuff around the house (see pics), then hit up the cider mill and grocery store in the afternoon before a nice dinner to celebrate our 2-month wedding anniversary and trimming our first joint Christmas tree. Good times.

So post-Thanksgiving, I'll still take the time to say thanks for being a part of my blessed life, my cup runneth over.....!
