can you believe that it is already december? the last month of 2007. the holiday season that manages to bring out the worse in most people and the best in the rest. the holiday season is definitely in full swing. everywhere you look there's a little bit of the christmas spirit everywhere. lights are slowly going up on people's houses, trees are being transported home, christmas music is being played in almost everywhere retail store and people are even starting to say happy holidays. i tell you, the holiday season seems to kick off earlier and earlier each year. soon we'll be in the christmas spirit by halloween, then the following year it will be labor day then the following year it'll be by the 4th of july. okay okay....thats an exaggeration...but the point is, people are getting into it earlier and earlier each year....i guess its not so much people, but retail stores.
so the verdict of the colorado trip finally came back this past week. danny finally shared 'the' email with me from the parental units. i tell you, i was nervous reading that thing. i wasnt sure if i even wanted to open the email. but i did. i got their approval. they stated that they liked me a lot and were very impressed with me. thats a good sign. i was finally able to sleep well that night...the anticipation of what they thought of me was really building up after the trip and i am glad that i sailed away in flying colors. the thought of getting along with my future in laws is almost the greatest feeling. it just means that there wont be hostility between us in the future. and thats good. it'll make looking forward to the holidays or the yearly trip out to colorado more exciting for me and danny. he was right, i should have never worried about it. i took his advice from the get go...he said to be myself...and darn it i was...and it paid off.
so this christmas will be me and danny's first christmas together. last year he went home for the holidays and i was not able to go with him. but from here on out, we are to spend all our holidays together. so this particular christmas is a special one for me...just because he'll be home for it. i'll get to wake up to him on christmas day and run over to the tree with excitement, ready to open my presents and watch him open his. it'll be great. i'm so excited. hopefully next week we'll be picking out our christmas tree and decorating around the house...more so this year than last...just cause he's gonna be home for it. i'm even gonna try and make some of them famous donna sugar cookies. i did most my christmas shopping for him already...just a couple more things to get and some stocking stuffers and i am pau...oh ya baby...started early this year!
