2 1/2 months. That's how long I've been married. Time is sure moving quickly! Just a few months ago, I was anticipating my wedding and now....it's already been 2 1/2 months! We've had the wedding, gone on our honeymoon, celebrated Thanksgiving, and are now preparing for Christmas, which is in 4 days! Good Lord. A lot has been going on though:
- I am not working at the leasing office anymore, due to them cutting their own hours and there not being enough for me to do. I am, however, babysitting and pet sitting, which is actually really wonderful. It's something I love to do, I'm doing it consistently, and it provides some extra income.
- Tony got promoted at his job and received a raise, which is awesome! He's also on more of a schedule now so that's wonderful. He gets off every day around 6 pm and then he normally gets weekends off.
- We adopted another family member! I found him at the Humane Society - we dont know what he is for sure but he looks like a lab / German Shepard mix. He's about 10 months old and is one sweet boy. We named him Marlee =] So now we have 4 babies! 2 dogs and 2 kitties - although Tony would like to give Bentlee away to another family because he is causing too much trouble here. I hate to do something like that, but we may have to. We're still discussing it though.
- We just had Surprise Day with my dad's side of the family last Saturday. It was a lot of fun! It's where we all get together and have food, play games, visit, and participate in a White Elephant Gift Exchange with both naughty and nice gifts - it's a blast!
- With 4 days until Christmas, I can hardly wait. I just love this time of year - being with loved ones, basking in the warmth of the season, and just taking the time to focus on all the things you are thankful for.
- Tony and I have been meeting with a realtor, as we are looking for a house! We would like to be in one by April because that is when our lease is up.
- For all of you that know me, you know I LOVE Ellen! I watch her show every day. Each year she has her "12 Days of Giveaways" shows. This year she had awesome prizes. I entered every single day but didnt have any luck. However, she is now holding one more week of entering to try to win every single gift given away during ALL 12 days! So of course I'm entering with a passion. *Fingers crossed!*
- I did however win Style Unveiled's 12 Days of Giveaways Day 3!! I won 2 bottles of products from Sprunk Jansen, which is an amazing company. Style Unveiled is a wedding website where you can gain lots of inspiration while planning your wedding. It's also a fun site to keep tabs on even if you're already married!

So lots going on and I just wanted to do a little update. I cant wait until 2011 - I have already started working on my goal list and I'm excited to get going on it! I will post it on here as well. SPOILER ALERT: one of my goals is to blog more, whether I have news, a story to tell, something that is funny to share, interesting information, or just pictures. Speaking of pictures, here are a few that I will leave you with:
Until my next blog - have a happy holiday season!
