the essence

Today I'm still sick but doing better than yesterday. Still resting too & I've been reminiscing about our honeymoon! I went through the scrapbook album I made & then looked up some of the places online. I can't belive its coming up on four years since that trip. It was so much fun, I'd like to visit some of the places again.

I'm still very exciting about my upcoming trip to see Ruth! Its still over a month away but I'm sure the time will fly. I can't believe how quickly the time has passed since Thanksgiving - its already been 5 weeks!

I'm going to finally try to post some pictures. I don't have any to post from Christmas because we still don't have the program working to lead directly from the camera to the laptop & the last time I burned photos to disk at the store was on Saturday.

First off, our Christmas tree.




Here is my dining room table & buffet, I was quite pleased with my seasonal decorations in this area. :)






This is the Christmas lunch I had over at my place last week. L to R: Amy, Charisse, Me, Rachel, & Jen 9with baby Hannah).




Geannie & Steve leaving their wedding, December 17.
