time flies

Are we really only days away from December? I can’t believe how fast this year has flown by. It’s seems like only yesterday I was trying to start up my new business and balance my two jobs, find time for our ongoing construction, and all my other headaches…

I can’t say I ever imagined how far this little adventure would take me. I feel blessed to have made it this far and hope and pray I will be this happy with my adventures next year at this time.

I still struggle finding balance with it all (as you can tell by the time passing between posts these days). We still have our construction to finish, although the list is getting shorter…..(thank goodness!). The major items being the pavers in the backyard, the railing for the stairs on the new porch, the sidewalks, and paint! I am hoping we can get our final inspection before Easter 2008! I got a call from the assessors office, and finished or not, we are going to start paying taxes on the new room, so I would love to have it signed off on. Time and money are in short supply for the final stages, so keep your fingers crossed for us that we can manage to get the darn thing done!

I am going to get the Christmas decorations out in the next week or so, and I will be sure to share pictures. I am looking forward to the smell of the tree in the house and all the fun holiday candles. I have been lighting fires in the fireplace this last week, which always gets me in the mood for the holidays. I need to find my Sarah McLaughlin "Wintersong" cd for the tree trimming. I love it so much, I kept it out past the holidays last year, and now I can’t find where I put the darn thing! She and James Taylor are the two that really get me going. I heard Josh Groban on Oprah the other day signing Christmas carols, so I may have to go and buy that one too. :)

Anyway… thanks for checking in with me. Sorry I haven’t been a very active blogger lately. I hope to have some fun house pictures to share of our finished addition, holiday decor, and much more soon!

chris - Gorgeous shot sara! YES… time is flying by & while I hate it flying by I hope the winter here in NE flies by!!! Tutti doesn’t like the cold weather~only for Christmas (so we can have a white one!)It’s truly pretty with snow & everyone all nestled in with a fire going around the holidays! After that it needs to be summer again for me!:)

deb - Congrats on the almost-complete addition! Construction is never fun. James Taylor is my top pick for the holidays too. I don’t have that Sarah McLaughlin CD but I do love her voice. I try to get at least one new CD each year and that may have to be it this year! :)
