Missing.

I guess today is my catch up day for my blog. Maybe I'll do a little better, (Probably not.) But I've had a lot on my mind in these past couple weeks. I'm leaving to school in 2 weeks, Christmas is here, but no family is. 

It's so weird to me. I've always had all of my family here for Christmas, so it doesn't really feel like Christmas to me. My family is spread out all over now and I guess it's just hitting me now that I probably won't see them for possibly a long time. I just feels so empty knowing that my family's not here at a time where family's are supposed to be together. I'm going to miss all the craziness that comes with my family. Kids running around screaming, brothers and sisters speaking louder and louder so they can be heard from across the room, and the biggest thing for me, Christmas Eve. I've always enjoyed doing the Christmas program with my Nathan. We'd always do something together. He'd usually play, and I'd sing. 

But I guess all of this loneliness is part of growing up. People grow up, get married, and then have family's of their own. Sometimes I wish we could stay young forever and keep our family together, but then again, I couldn't imagine my life without all of my nieces and nephews (one I have yet to meet) and my amazing in-laws.  For all of you that read this, I miss you and love you all, hopefully I'll see you next year!



Gingerbread House

Ok, so it's not real gingerbread, but it worked for us! I love making gingerbread houses, and I haven't done one in a while. After reading my sister-in-law Jandi's blog, I just got the urge to do one! So Tyson and I went to Walmart, and got all the stuff we needed! And for being graham crackers, I think it turned out A-Ok. 

The Finished Product



Voila! 

Christmas time

Yes, I know. I haven't written on this thing for almost a month now. But I have been pretty busy working, hanging out, and really just being lazy. But with the month of December comes Christmas and all it's wonders. 

One of my favorite things to do is decorate. And I just so happened to be able to decorated two different trees. Our tree, and our office tree. I'm a big fan of not so busy trees. I usually just like the balls, ribbon, and boys. and that's what I did on both trees. I love Christmas. :)


Missing Nathan's Stocking. So sad. 
I know. I have great form.
