warning! sap alert!

i can't help but feel the joy of christmas this holiday season.  i've always loved christmas but there's something different about it this year and i'm not sure why...

for one, i'm the poorest i've been since.. ever...

secondly, i'm in a less than pleasant housing situation...

and i'm still consumed with the feelings of confusion and uncertainty when it comes to my life and what i should DO with it...

but i feel more blessed than ever!

i have experienced some awesome love and support from my family this year and we're all getting very excited for my brother's upcoming wedding! and to top that off, i'm so excited to have a sister-in-law!

anyhow, i hate to pull a "timmy" on you but i'm feelin' the holiday spirit and i hope you are too!

HAPPY CHRISTMAS!

i'll leave you with a cool wreath idea!
