When I'm Married I'll......Christmas Cards & Trees!

"So plant your own garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers." ~Veronica A. Shoffstall

So.....it's almost the Christmas season again! This got me thinking about some of the holiday things I'm doing this year, and the story behind them. I thought I'd share.

So we all know I'm not married yet...shocking news, I know. Last yer, I remember getting a picture Christmas card in the mail from some of my good friends. They are married and had great pictures of them doing cute things together. I thought to myself, "When I'm married, I'm totally sending out cards like that."

I sort of have this motto----anything I think "When I'm married, I'll...." about, I do right now. I should not have to wait until I trick some poor sucker into marrying me to do the things I want to do in my own life!

So, sending out the picture Christmas card became a tradition last year. Now it's time for year number two. 2009 has been a crazy year for me....so many things have happened.....which is another blog upcoming for my year-in-review. But I had tons of pictures to choose from! My dear friend Myranda designs and prints custom cards, so she's been super helpful and has come up with an awesome design that I love!

Anyway, this year I've had a similar situation occur with having a Christmas tree. I had the same "when I'm married...." thought cross my mind, so I jumped in my car and went Christmas tree shopping! I figure if I own my own home, there is no reason why I shouldn't decorate for Christmas, even if it's just me living here! I'm super excited about my beautiful tree and wreath and soon to be nativity set that will hopefully all be up and decorated by next weekend. Pictures to come....I'm sure. :)

Oh, and if I don't have your address and you're expecting one of these Christmas cards in your mailbox, you probably better send that info my way!
