So this last week has been really good for Ryan and I! On Thursday I found out that I got the nanny job, and on Friday Ryan found out he got the job at Value Village. This was a total answer to my prayers!!! Ryan starts his job tomorrow (Wednesday) and I start my new job January 5th. So hopfully in this new year our finances will become a lot better!
So it's been hard for me to get into a Christmas mood this year. I'm not exactly sure why. I have my decorations up, but that didn't change anything. This time of year I miss being at home with my parents. My mom always does crafts near Christmas, and just the smell of the pinecones or whatever she's making is so good and Chirstmasy. She also does baking that smells good, and I help her and she always gave me the fun things to do, like rolling the popcorn into balls or putting the sprinkles on the cookies. And the tree...let me tell you about my mom's Christmas trees!! She is like a professional Christmas tree decorator!! It's so beautiful you just want to sit there for hours and stare at it. Why is Christmas so much better when you're small? I LOVE Christmas and I'm trying so hard to get into the Christmas spirit or mood, but for some reason its so hard. Hopfully when I start my Christmas shopping and wrap all the gifts I'll start getting excited! Although I don't have a big tree to put them under, I just have a 2 footer.
Anyway, I hope you all are enjoying your Christmas season! I think I'm going to buy some Christmas sented candels!!
