Busy, busy, busy!

Tis' the season....to be busy! November is here, and I'm trying not to stress! Holidays mean less money in my bank account and less free time on my hands, but a lot of good memories to be made. This year, I won't be able to spend a lot of money, like a lot of people. We set a money limit in our family. We've never had to do that before. I'm also setting a limit to spend on my godkids. That will save me a lot.

Christmas will come early this year for my family, as my sister and brother-in-law will be spending Christmas and New Years in New Zeland. I don't think Damond and I will buy each other gifts. We find it much more enjoyable to spend time together with just the two of us, as that's something we don't get much of. It's much more special than exchanging material things. And that's what the holidays are all about, right? Spending time with those you love. A night with just the two of us, a good movie, blanket, candles, and chocolate will be the best Christmas present ever! :)

A friend of mine is getting married November 14th. I'm in the wedding. These past 4 weeks have been spent making preperations for that. I never realized how expensive being in a wedding can be! I can't imagine how stressed her family must be. Anyway, I know it will be a beautiful wedding and after it's over, we can all relax! Looking forward to that.

Would like to write more but I have to get back to work. I have so much to do, but I try to count it a blessing. Stuff to do = revenue = I still have a job. A major think to be thankful for these days.
