It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Can I just say how much I LOVE Christmas? Seriously. It's the best. Right after we have a day of Thanksgiving and are able to think about all the things we're grateful for, then we have a whole SEASON of giving to give to loved ones and to people who are in need. We also get to celebrate Christ's birth spend much-needed time with our families.

This year, Paul and I get to go home to Oregon to be with my parentals and I can hardly stand that it's only three weeks away! I'm excited to be in the cold, rainy, foggy weather and look at Christmas lights and drink hot chocolate and be all bundled up and cozy. I'm excited to have a fire in the fireplace and to sing Christmas songs and play the piano at the house. I'm also excited to watch old Christmas movies that my mom makes us watch every year...and maybe some new ones, too.

I just feel so happy and content right now. I'm sitting in my happy little apartment with my perfect wonderful Paul and thinking that we are so lucky to have so many blessings in our life. We have good friends and a good ward and Paul has a good job and I'm learning so much at school and we have so many opportunities in our lives to progress and learn and become better.

I love love love love love life.
