Remember December

This December will be one to remember. This time last year, Shane was here in Texas while I was still in North Carolina trying to sell the house and finish up school. This will be our first Christmas together since we first got married. The 2nd Christmas we were married he was deployed to Iraq and last year we couldn't afford for each other to fly to see the other.
We still haven't decorated for Christmas.....yes, we have never decorated for Christmas. However that will all change next year once we are settled in the new house, and for once can put roots down.  Also, this is the first Christmas my family will celebrate since my daddy's passing. It will be hard, tough, tearful, but we will get through it (While singing along to The Beatles as loud as we can). I'm planning my trip home for after Christmas, spending New Year's at home, and I'm extremely excited to see my friends and family. One friend will be missing, Rachel (my bff) since she's going to see her boyfriend. (Love you Rach!)

The kittens have found new homes!! The little girl, now named "Phoebe" is in a loving home where she is being spoiled and causing all sorts of trouble! Little man, now named "Zed" is staying with us. Shane has become very attached to him. Never in my life did I think I'd have 4 cats. Sigh. Oh well at least they all get along.

Semester is coming to an end. One final down, three to go. I will be very happy when this semester is over, and I can officially be a college junior in the spring.

& without further ado, the pictures I'm sure you are all eager to see!

Such a hard life as a kitten.

Being a fat kid runs in the family.
