Counting down the days 'till Christmas...

It's been a while since I've written, but be honest nothing too exciting has been going on.  We're just enjoying the Holiday season (our first together) out here in Colorado.  We've been trying to get into the Holiday spirit by lighting up our Christmas trees at night, laying by the fire and watching Christmas movies.  The snow on the ground definitely helps put us in the Christmas mood!  In just a few days my Mom and I will be heading back to Iowa for Christmas and Scott will be flying to California to visit his family.  It will be hard spending this holiday apart from each other...our first Christmas together will be spent in two different states.  I guess that just goes to show how fast life can change.  I don't think either of us thought, when we were planning our holiday trips, that we'd actually be engaged to each other this Christmas!  Our engagement was a surprise to many people and some might even say it happened too fast, but when I look at Scott or laugh at another one of his silly jokes, I just couldn't imagine being with anyone else!  I am so in love with Scott and I feel so blessed that we finally figured out that we were meant to be together (it took us long enough)!  It makes this Christmas even more special!  2008 has been a year for the record books...and it's not even over yet.  I'm looking forward to these last few weeks of the year, it's my favorite time of the year!

I can't wait to head back to Iowa and see my family.  I have a new baby cousin, Hunter, to meet and lots of hugs to give.  I hope you and your families have a wonderful Christmas!  Please remember to enjoy this time of year and not get all caught up in the craziness of the season. Remember that you all are blessed and loved!  We wish we could spend the holidays with every one, but just know that we will be thinking of all of you!!!  

With Love,
H&S
