All I want for Christmas is a Hippo

Well no not really.
I mean that would be silly! where on earth would I keep a Hippo?

I just happened to have heard that song for the first time only moments ago, and it amused me somewhat. Such a odd Christmas song.

I can't believe Christmas is almost here! Where has this month gone? this whole year in fact.
Thankfully all my Christmas shopping has been completed, well for the most part anyway. I really do love this time of year. Christmas songs, hot chocolate, the cold weather, all the cookies and goodies, oh yes indeed.

Well I must scurry off to do other things.

snow day!

I'm not sure there is a better way to start off December then to wake up to this..

Its a pretty rare sight around here

We were a little bit excited :D

Our little snowman family

Baby snowman was my favorite

I had off work today, because I was supposed to of had a dentist appointment, but couldn't drive because of the snow. So getting to have a snow day was oodles of fun (:

Amarillo by Morning.

I had a great weekend in the promised land. Spent way to much money, and had some fun. We spent some time out at my grandma's, which included lots of running around on the kubota's (:

They were so much fun to drive!

kubota races!

only in Texas

on my last note..

..its cold. I'm happy (:

I love the Fall

Even though the only thing that makes it feel fall around here is the leaves changing colors, and falling off the trees. Since around here we have 70-80 degree weather, instead of nice fall feeling weather...not that I'm bitter or anything.

But anyway...all non bitterness aside. It's been a crazy past few weeks.

Last Monday Shane and Shane was in town and put on a free concert. It was, to say the least, amazing. Definitely go down in the books as my favorite concert ever.

Wednesday I chopped off all my hair...well ok. Maybe not all of it, but when you have pretty long hair, taking three and half inches off seems like all of it. But I gotta say I do like it.

The weekend was just amazing. Friday night watched some football. Saturday consisted of a movie, and trips to PetCo, Walmart, Hobby Lobby, Hastings, with my good buddy.

Sunday night Jeremy Camp was in town!! definitely my second favorite concert. It was pretty amazing as well, I enjoyed it quite a lot. As my good friend Jess said, its great to start and end a week with a concert. No doubt about that.

That was last week. This week has been... we'll just say..iffy. Sounds like a good word to me. But I won't get into it. I'm just thankful for a Savior who holds us up, who is there to help us through the rough days, and for an amazing friend who can cheer me up probably way to easy.

So I'll say goodbye now, and try not to be such a stranger.
