Hello everyone!
It has been a long while since I have checked in but life
here has not quieted down in the least, in fact, it has gotten even more crazy
but in the best possible ways!
First, we had an amazing Thanksgiving break. It kickstarted
in NYC. We were there on some important business and got to see and stay with
our amazing friend Marj! It was so great to see her and catch up! Taking in the
city was amazing and Shannon and I realized how much we both missed it! And, we
are lucky enough to be heading back there next week with our families and a few
friends for New Year’s Eve … life doesn’t get to much better!
We also got to see mom and dad’s new house in Vermont! It is
amazing and it was the most relaxing time we have had in a long time! It is the
proverbial small New England town. Family, animals and quiet … basically
perfect haha!
Shannon had his 34th birthday on December 9 and
we had an amazing weekend together. I got him Book Of Mormon tickets for his birthday
and he absolutely loved it! I got them over the summer and for anyone that
knows me, I can barely keeps surprises like this a secret but I did it and I have
no idea how but it was a success! I am so happy that he enjoyed it and seeing
him that excited and happy made it all worth it!
Shannon and I have also made the decision to become parents,
to the most adorable baby girl French Bulldog! We rented a car a few weeks ago and
drove the 2 hours to meet her and put a deposit down! I literally cannot put
into words how excited we are! She is perfect and we can’t wait to have our new
addition in the new year!
Sue is coming this Saturday for Christmas! We will be
staying her in Chicago for Christmas (the first away from my family but I have
to be a big girl once in a while lol!) We are so excited that she is coming and
we are going to attempt a more traditional Australian Christmas which means
food, food and more food hahaha … I think I can do it! Then we will be spending
some time in Vermont for my dad’s birthday followed by one life altering trip
to New York City for New Year’s Eve. It is one we will be sure to never forget!
On a random but happy note, I have been doing Christmas
Around The World in my class and Shannon is taking the afternoon off of work
and coming in to share with my kids about Christmas in Australia! We got the
book “Christmas Wombat” and Shannon will be reading it and staying for our
holiday party! I just don’t know what I would do without this amazing human in
my life!
The last few months have been busy but in amazing ways and I
can truly say that I cannot wait to see what 2013 holds for us! This past year
has seen some lows which were lessened by amazing highs and I wouldn’t change
any of it! It had gotten us to this point and well, all I can say is that I am
truly blessed to have this crazy, messy and absolutely beautiful life that I will
continue to share and merge with the love of my life.
Happy Holidays everyone and a very HAPPY NEW YEAR (incase I don’t
post before the new year!)
With Much Love Always,
Katie
