Dream a little dream...

I dreamed that I was getting back into wedding/corporate event planning last night. Even had the same crew with me! I was making the signs so that the guests would know to go to the 23rd floor, and not the 41st floor like the party host had broadcast on the radio. There are only 24 floors at my former work place. But really, something like that could totally happen in real life. :)

I also dreamt about an old friend (who I need to text now!) and that I was running late, only to wake up and find I was early! But kudos to me, cuz I got up anyway.

And it's snowing. What?!

But my Christmas tree is up. Yay!!

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like...

If you all wanted to know, I DID make the menu planner that I linked to below! And with super strong magnets it is sticking firmly to my fridge. :)

Thanksgiving is coming so fast! This month has literally passed me by. Tomorrow we fly out to Chicago, which hopefully the airport will not be a harrowing experience. Even my mom had a bad security check-in experience this past weekend, so hopefully we will avoid that!

Chicago will be GREAT, I just wish we could stay longer. All of trips this days are too short, but at least we get to go! It will be fun to see family we haven't seen for a while, and to experience the windy city a little more. We will have some FABULOUS tour guides!

All-in-all, I am grateful for the holidays, even if they aren't how they used to be. Every year I try to capture the same holiday feeling I had while growing up, but it never seems the same. I'll be honest-- it's a little disappointing. But what should I expect? I have another person's traditions to take on, and things just aren't how they used to be. My Grandma's house isn't the way it used to be, especially now that my Grandad is gone. I'm kind of glad the holiday season has snuck up on me-- I have a casual attitude, and not as many expectations leading up to Thanksgiving and Christmas. I'm just going to enjoy the moments and the family time. And enjoy spending time with Josh! He works so much, I hardly see him. So Chi-Town will be a welcome vacation!

And so, to properly ring in the holidays, here's a brief list of what I'm thankful for:
*MUSIC
*Glee :)
*Temples
*Jesus Christ (and my BYU New Testament classes that really helped me learn more about Him)
*Late night runs to Rancheritos
*Fried Zucchini (namely from Nick's Burgers & the Cheesecake Factory)
*Disneyland
*Inspiring Stories
*My love of reading
*Moving on & letting go
*A crazy/fun job
*Beautiful friends
*Poppies
*Puppies
*My kitties!
*Open minds & open hearts

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

SHARING!

I just found a free template for a menu planner, and it's pretty cool and cute!


The site gives all the directions, but me and fridge have big plans for this menu planner! :)

HAPPY NOVEMBER! <3
