Christmas Challenge: Day 25

Day 25: It’s Christmas! What were some of the things you received this year?

I don't like focusing on what I got. So instead I'm doing "What was your favorite part of this Christmas?"

& go with spending it with my love, my family, & my Aria.
It was an amazing day. Couldn't ask for a better day. Honestly.

Christmas Challenge: Day 22

Day 22: Somewhere you would want to spend Christmas one year.

Somewhere with snow! Somewhere gorgeous & cold. Somewhere with a big fireplace and lots of books to read.

Also overseas - England or France

(of course with Josh!)

Maybe someday...

Christmas Challenge: Day 20

Day 20: All time favorite Christmas present.

Well shoot... I don't know. All time?
My very special earrings from Josh. I adore them! :)

Although I got the boxed set of Anne of Green Gables from Dr. A last year (or was it the year before? and was it for my birthday instead of xmas? I can't remember.) I loved that gift!

I guess I really don't know!

Christmas Challenge: Day 19

Day 19: Whose gift was the hardest to buy this year?

Well, see we're kind of broke. So no Christmas presents this year! Oh yay!
But if we had bought presents the two hardest are Josh & Master.
I never know what to get them.

On the other hand... I could buy presents for my Mom & Chace all day long :)
I know them so well!

Christmas Challenge: Day 14

Day 14: Share a previous Christmas memory

I loved when Josh gave me my "promise ring" ... except it wasn't really a promise ring I guess.
Anyway.
He didn't give it to me in front of everyone. It was later... after we all had opened our gifts at my parents' house.
We were sitting in my room. I was wondering why he hadn't got me a present. & he pulls a pretty black box out of his pocket. & says "Here ... this is for you."  ... very Josh :)
I was nervous opening it actually. By this point in our relationship we knew we were going to get married, but neither of has had proposed (not that we wound up doing it that way).
I was wondering if that is what he was doing.
Nope :)
Just a gorgeous ring for Christmas.

Another great Christmas memory - the first year Josh & I put up our first tree.

Christmas Challenge: Day 8

Day 8: There is mistletoe hanging above you, who do you wish is under?

So should I be all appropriate and say Josh?

Or should I go all fantasy and say someone else?

Christmas Challenge: Day 3

Day 3: A picture of you in the snow.

I adore this picture of myself.

 The snow in my face is courtesy of Joshua.

Thank you, my love.

Also here's this one

Also thanks to Josh

Project 365: Week 5: Days 28-34

And here we are again! This week we traveled a lot & had fun doing so. So on with the pictures!

Days 28-34: June 28-July 4, 2010

Day 28

After we moved Josh's Dad & Rena we went & stayed a few day with his Mom.

This was Josh's birthday dessert - fried cheesecake! He loved it. I fake tried it. 

Day 29

Aria sleeping with her bunny on the way back home. I adore her. 

Day 30

SNOW CONES!!!! 

Mine was Tiger's Blood (as always) & Josh's was Sour Apple with extra extra sour spray.

& still not sour enough.

Day 31

Poor Aria has a hurt paw :(

Day 32

Josh & Aria under his new NASA BLANKET!!!

For those of you familiar with The Office - Josh wasn't sleeping in his undies under it - à la Dwight. Though I'm sure he wanted to.

Day 33

Aria with her Beaver & Bear Head. 

Yeah I take a ton of pictures of her. Yeah most of 365 will probably be her. 

Day 34

 Happy 4th of July!!

We went to Mom and Dad's. Since they now know how to professionally deal Blackjack we played. 

I won. 

Yeah that's $1,091 .... I started with around $185.

So there you go! A picture a day for the last week. .... Although I take more than a picture a day & sometimes it is agonizingly hard to pick just one.
Bisous, Kiki

Bisous, Kiki

My life is amazing

Birthday Week is off to a great start.
Sometimes the best things in life are not material...

except these are kind of material, but you get what I mean!

Happy Birthday card from S (thank you! I love you!). .... you can see he wrote his initials "S.T." at the bottom ... right, G? or! maybe he was signing for T too??
(I'm convinced that's what it is... & now every time I look at it I see "S.T.")

and this from Josh. He's amazing. I love my "card!"

 Isn't he sweet??? He had this up as a surprise for me when I came home from staying with S.

It's a great Birthday Week!

Planning...

... is something I really love to do.

Unfortunately Josh doesn't much like to and I am stuck planning on my own.

Thanks to a very (very!) long nap by S yesterday I was able to plan out my entire 2010 school year. Ahhh! I love the feeling of a plan!

Now back to S because really I'd just rather talk about him! He took a 3 hour ... 3 hour ... nap yesterday while I watched him. He woke up so incredilby happy and pretty much smiled and giggled the rest of the time I was there. We played in the tall grass out back, he handed me handfuls of dirt (thank you S!), he jumped and crawled and had the best time (and I did too!)

Of course, I had a wonderful time just watching him :) I really do enjoy staying with him...

::sigh:: that's the part of my plan I really don't like ... the part where I graduate and have to leave him :(
