Indulge Me for a Minute...

Yeah, I've been a really bad blogger. But according to my blog following list I'm not the only one! So I don't feel quite as bad.

I hope that everyone had an AMAZING holiday season! Is it just me or did it seem to be a whirlwind? There was such a huge lead-in to the season and then it was over in a heartbeat! But I have to say it was so nice to get out of dodge for a little while. Disney was so much fun and the weather, oh it was so nice we really didn't want to come home! It was so nice to see my family as well. Andrew and I have decided that we might need to try and get home more often. We miss our friends and family but it's hard to get home as often as we would like.

So anyway, Disney. We had so much fun! I had forgotten how much the parks are just as fun as an adult as they are for kids! We also went to Universal Studios and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Aside from the cray cray crowds, I'm so glad we took the time to go. So get ready for a little bit of a photo dump!

Needless to say we had a good time. I am so excited for the new year and all the possibilities that come with it. For those of you still traveling visiting family for the holidays, safe travels and to you all, a very Happy New Year!

I had wanted to post a Holiday Party post about what women could be wearing to their holiday parties this year. But after this morning's horrific shooting here in our state, that seemed inappropriate.

To all those families who will not have loved ones come home tonight and to the families who have to explain this tragedy to their children this weekend, our thoughts and prayers are with you. This unbelievably sad day is the second worst school shooting in U.S. history and that blows my mind.

The President said it best, "we have had too many of these tragedies in the recent years." This needs to stop. Love each other. I know that sounds silly but events like this bring the fragility of life into harsh perspective. Take care of one another. This holiday season needs to bring some good out of this. Hold the door open for someone. Smile at someone.

God bless the families going through something no one should go through. Thoughts and prayers for all those involved

Wedded Bliss Wednesday: It's Only Money!

I have decided to link-up with Kay and Allie for this weeks WBW. It's been a crazy couple of weeks and I have been a bad blogger but I suppose that is what the holiday season does that.

Now, on to the holiday question!

If money were not an issue, what would you buy for husband for Christmas this year?

It's not so much about the money but more of the time. If money were not an issue I would do things like replace his computer with an iPad or get him a bigger television for the man cave. But what I would really like to give him is more time off. We haven't been home to Michigan since March and we aren't really planning on heading back until next July. This brings us down since there are lots of reasons why we want to go home...

I know that it was our decision to go to Disney World and not come home but we really wanted to take this trip and it really was the best time to do it. But we miss our friends and family. Sometimes there's just nothing more valuable than spending time with the ones you love. Happy Holidays!
