Wearing our “stockings” on our heads to wish you a happy holiday season!
Yes, we have gotten the decorations out of storage and are preparing for the big decorate the house marathon while Tom Jr. is cooking! Christmas music is filling the apartment along with heavenly scents of food, cider and giggles.
I am sending my heart to my loved ones who can’t be here with us right now, as nothing is the same without you!

It’s been a rough couple of weeks. Truly. It’s no secret I haven’t been looking forward to turkey day, but really, who doesn’t look forward to big bellies, football on the tube and the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade to start it all off?
Yea. Well, not me, not this year. Again, things have been a little rough. Until today.
Wow. If there had been clouds above me today, there would have been rainbows. I have happy danced my way long into the night and will probably go to sleep with a giant grin on my face! You know, I was told growing up that you’d better “be careful or your face will freeze that way!” I say, bring it on. Let it freeze this way because I don’t care! Today has been a wonderful day full of wonderful news and I thank God for bringing these things together within my life!
Finally, I might be able to breathe just a little easier, and that my friends, brings me to not feeling so icky about this Thanksgiving. I may not have everything I desire in my arms right now. I miss my BTP and my TB so much it’s painful, but I do have my little Bean, I have my health, I have the great things that came together for me today and I do have my faith. I have beautiful friends who help hold me up when I am at my lowest points, when the darkness threatens to swallow me whole, they have been there. Drying my tears and holding my hand. I truly have so much to be thankful for.
So, tomorrow morning Bean and I are going to sip hot cider while watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade and eating eggs and sausage for breakfast. Then, I am going to cook the mini turkey I picked up for us with mini versions of all the fixin’s. Once we’ve had our dinner, we are going to pull out the Christmas decorations and get to work! I have four days, count ‘em, four days to get everything beautified for my favorite holiday of the year and I plan on doing nothing but that! I cleaned the house top to bottom, literally, today (even vacuumed the stairs...oh...my...gawd...that sucked, just sayin’) so I can now freely clutter everything up with everything that glitters, lights up, and smells yummy! Bean and I are excited.
So, I’d like to wish everyone out there a wonderful Thanksgiving! I hope you have a wonderful day. Don’t forget to count your blessings.
Once the turkey is digested, I shall return.
Until then, I grin!
We shall be reminded. Srsly.

Can you believe that Christmas is only like, what, 33 days away or so?! OMG am freaking out! And we have Thanksgiving in two days, even though that’s not such a big deal to me this year. I have been itching to get my Christmas decorations for weeks now, but am one of those fuddy duddy’s who refuses to get Christmas up and going before Thanksgiving is even over. One holiday at a time, plz thx.
So, guess what Jade is going to be doing this weekend!? Hee hee hee! And? I don’t have to dig them out of an attic either. I know where they all are, they are easy to get to and will be easy to put the boxes up once the decorations have been pulled out of them.
Oh! And, a new tradition is going to form in the Jade household. Instead of actual stockings to be used as stockings, I am going to use Santa hats! I know, cool hu!? Ok, it wasn’t my idea, I stole it fair and square tho and think it’s going to be sooo cute!
This apartment is small, so it’s going to be tough deciding which decorations are going to be put up and which ones aren’t, as I will NEVER get them all to fit in here! lol The rest will have to wait until I can get a house and then they will make their Illinois debut! For now, I will pick and choose. Don’t worry, I will post pics when I get it all figured out and put up!
Wow.
How time flies....

Wow. That’s all I can muster. Radiant with colors, the sky literally took your breath away last night. Spectacular spreads of color that shot all the way across the sky from one end to the other. Wow.
All of this was going on at the very moment that I was putting together my new photography blog! Click the photo or the text below to visit if you’re so inclined. It will be updated regularly, so bookmark it! Of course, in the middle of setting it up, I grabbed the camera and ran outside in my socks and my tee shirt to capture this amazing sunset. Yes folks, there are days that I eat, sleep and breathe photos.
