I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas....

I should really be packing, but instead, I am blogging! Way to be productive! As of tomorrow at this time I should be in Winter Wonderland, otherwise known as Colorado! I am just absolutely thrilled and cannot wait. I really am dreaming/praying for a white Christmas! As of right now the chance of snow is 50%, but I am so hoping for 100%!

But, I just couldn't leave without sharing my week with you! It has been just a delightful week. One that has absolutely flown by, and I love that. The main reason it has been just splendid is because my BFF Joanna has been in town from Montana and I have loved having her here every minute. She flew in on Monday and her sweet hubby came in town yesterday! Since her mom was still in school this week, and my mom was still teaching piano lessons this week, it was just us! I have seen her everyday this week. :)

It has been just like the old times. We have been running around good ole' Cypress getting MUCH accomplished. Well really, I have just been her chauffeur all week, but I'm okay with that! We have done our normal spend the night with each other, get up somewhat early, go get breakfast at Panera, then errands here we come! I love it. I especially have loved it this time because I miss my girls SO much. Seriously, having them spread all over the WORLD has been not so fun. (And yes, I can say world because our sweet Sally is in Africa!)

Some highlights have been our sleepover 2 nights in a row (there is nothing like a sleepover with your BFF), running around acting like chickens with our heads cut off, laughing UNCONTROLLABLY with huge tears running down our faces, meeting some girls at Lupe's, eating at Panera and Subway (our normal restaurants), and both of us getting our hair cut. She got 10 inches cut and I got 2 1/2 from my already short hair. We love it, though. A new look is always fun! And of course exchanging our Christmas gifts. She got me a precious bangle bracelet that has Phil. 4:13 on it, and I made a plate with a verse on it to go in her new home! I think she loved it!! :) Now I can't wait to see my other BFF, Jennifer, tomorrow after she and her hubby get in from Louisianna and before I head off to Colorado! It will be a quick hello, but I need it. I need to see my Jen!!

Well, friends, I really am off to packing now! I've gotta get a move on things. I hope you all have a VERY Merry Christmas. Remember that we are celebrating Christ's birth! He was born to die for us. What a gift! I am hoping to return with some snowy pictures, they are too fun! Much love to all of you this wonderful holidy weekend!

My precious neighbor! This was after her Christmas program!

Dinner at Lupe Tortillas!! Absolutely DELICIOUS!

Jo got her haircut, and boy do I mean CUT! The sweet one cut 1o inches off her hair! It's just precious!

This is me going home after spending 2 days/nights at her house!! It was just delightful. Did I have enough stuff?! ;0)

And now begins the picture taking/present giving process. And let me tell you, it is a process!!

Our gifts! The plate I made her and the bangle bracelet she gave me! I love it!
