The Weekend Before Christmas (What?!)

I don't remember how I ever blogged five times a week and actually came up with that many things to talk about! This week flew by in a flash and I realized, "Oh yeah- I haven't really blogged have I?" It's probably just normal this time of year for a lot of people so I'm not beating myself up over it ;) I already have a huge list of goals and ideas for the new year so hopefully that fresh start in January will bring extra motivation. Until then, here's a laundry list of what's been going on this week:

Jared and I seriously passed around that gross cold for a good two and a half weeks so I'm glad to report we are both finally over it and are healthy humans again. Whew!

We've changed our mind on vacation a dozen times and still haven't settled on anything. Originally we were thinking a big trip out west but with a little one on the way we've decided against it. We want to go somewhere new (preferably) but trying to keep it within driving distance. And if we are traveling in March, I'd like to head South to chase at least a little bit warmer temperatures.... Decisions, decisions!

And no, Punta Cana is not an option again. I wish!!!

We celebrated my Mom's birthday this week! We grabbed dinner with my parents and then they even loaded up some furniture from our guest-room-turning-nursery to take with them. They're the best :) Also- my dad is now down 34 pounds and counting since September, I'm so proud of him! I look forward to comparing last year's Christmas photos with this year's.

I'm practically counting down the minutes until my sister and her family get in town for the holidays! Cannot wait to spend some quality time with them and especially see my niece open gifts this year. At 2 1/2 I feel like that's the perfect age for Christmas excitement :)

The treats at the office this time of year are ridiculous. I guess everyone feels bad that we're stuck there so much in December so they bring in cookies and cupcakes and chocolates to pass the time?! Seriously- I must resist them!!

Hope everyone is having a good week! I'm looking forward to a fun weekend with Jared, finally. Our colds are gone and we have no obligations except dating each other :) I can't wait to spend the weekend before Christmas together doing whatever we want before the hustle and bustle of next week.
