yes! it's officially the holidays. the christmas music is filling the house. marc and i went to our first christmas party last night, the famous Balzer holiday party: lots of people, lots of gorgeous hors d'euvers, a delicious white chocolate bread pudding with caramel rum sauce and let's not forget the chocolate fountain for your drizzling pleasure. a lovely evening followed by a long, restful sleep and a lazy, cuddly morning.
marc and i are so thankful to find ourselves caught up in the season after working some long hours the last couple of weeks. i'm NOT complaining. we've accomplished a lot in these past few days: our cabin has been warm and cozy thanks to our new wood stove, but we are ready to have more time to enjoy each other as well as our families.
our first christmas together. i think we might go buy an ornament together. i love firsts. ...that reminds me, sammie (our pet rat) finally ventured down her ladder (hand-crafted with love, by her daddy). she mustered up the courage to meander down that ladder. now she runs up it and launches from the top of her cage into the bedding below. she even has the nerve to steal our christmas cards and make her bed with them! she's becoming a little rascal after being a scaredy cat for weeks! i hope she behaves for derek :)
well, the christmas decorations are calling me, "Come and get me out of storage"...
hope you're enjoying this day as much as i am.
About Me
- Megan
- My husband calls me a soccer mom, despite my distaste for the name. I'm told that the term doesn't literally mean a 'mother of a soccer-playing child' rather, it's descriptive of one's style. When we lived in a small community of hippies I really didn't see the correlation. I didn't mind wearing the same pants every day or only having 4 tank tops that I wore for the last three months of my pregnancy. Makeup? For who? My friends who hadn't showered in the past 3 days? But now...we have left the redwoods of Mendocino County. This is Saratoga. This is where the neighbor's home is on the market for 4 Million dollars. This is where we face serious changes. Thanks to Banana Republic and Gap's extraordinary sales, I'm now a somewhat trendier mom who stays at home with the baby while Marc goes to the office everyday. I already listened to Dave Matthews, John Mayer and Coldplay. Every once in a while it's Al Green or Stevie Wonder when there's romance in the air. And makeup, well, a dash of blush and a hint of eye shadow is normal now. This is a fresh start. With a 3 month old baby and the sweetest husband in the world, we set out for new adventures. Now in Saratoga, soon in Chicago.
