It's... CHRISTMAS TIME!

I'm sooooooo excited about Christmas! Which is a relief because I thought that I would NEVER get here! The past few weeks have been crazy with work (finishing up the last few events of the year), getting side business orders done, getting Christmas Shopping DONE (or almost), and trying to have a little fun with holiday visitors.

My best friend Anne (with my little sister Libby) finally made it down to Mobile, and we had soooooo much fun. 

We had entirely too much fun (hints the accessorizing with old birthday hats).

 Due to all of the craziness time has continued to fly by, and somehow I have made it to this day, my last day of work for 2009.... and I won't be back until January 4, 2010. It's going to be great!!! 

To jump start the Christmas spirit Brenton and I had our Christmas last night, and it was PERFECT. Brenton was really surprised with his gift... home bar plans, a gift card to build it all, a sign I painted for the bar .... or should I say the "Lonely Bar," and a scrapbook to keep up with all of the progress and memories. I got such good presents... all way too much, but I am very excited!!! I got a camera (and this is a BIG deal because I have been wanting one for FOREVER), some Nike running shorts (that I can never bring myself to pay for), and most dear to my heart... Brenton bought me a limited edition of The Little Mermaid DVD (my all time favorite Disney movie).  It has already been a very Merry Christmas, and I can't wait for more!!!

There is one reader I especially cannot wait to see...

I love you Bibs... I'm so EXCITED to spend Christmas with you!

Atlanta... we are on our way!

By the way... there will be more to come later on the progression of the LONELY BAR!
