Sooo.....my three favorite holidays are among us. This will be my first Christmas as a married woman and also, my first Christmas on a tropical island where palm trees are considered evergreens. I have no idea how I am going to decorate our house or if we really will get a palm tree in leiu of a fake tree because I'm sure that will be our only option. I'm trying to arrange for us to have family pictures taken on the beach with our fur children. Of course, one will be wearing reindeer ears and the other will be wearing elf ears. And there is a strong possibility of us wearing horrible Hawaiian shirts/dresses. Still in the planning process.
Also, nothing gets me more pumped for Halloween like browsing the Halloween Pinterest boards! I can't wait to decorate our house for this too! I love seeing all the kids dressed up in their cute little costumes and asking for candy. It's adorable. I love the smells, carving pumpkins, roasting the pumpkin seeds and hot apple cider. However I don't think I'm legitimately prepared for spending my favorite holidays in weather that is 80+ at any given time....we will see.
Zach and I have decided to be Juno and Paulie Bleeker from the movie "Juno". I'm not sure how many people will get it but we figured it would be perfect because Zach is tall and awkward and I'm loud, obnoxious and equally awkward which is why we make the best married couple ever. *Got the idea from Pinterest of course :D
Speaking of being married....my third favorite holiday is one that I haven't actually celebrated yet. It will be our first official anniversary! I hope it will be the first of many because I really like that guy I married. He makes me laugh and likes to joke about my mustache. I don't actually have one I think....according to the ladies at the nail salon, I do but I digress. We married two days after Christmas in Colorado surrounded by our amazing families. And had three very short days to be with one another before he had to return to San Diego and I made my way back to Pensacola.
9 months and a move across the globe later, we're as happy as clams with a home full of love and dog hair. We can't wait to open our home to our friends for the holidays because we're you're this far away, friends become the family and support that you need.
Xoxo
