The festivities are just begining

After a super relaxing Christmas, we are gearing up for super big festivities and new starts this next week. My brother and his family are coming over for dinner and a belated Christmas celebration tonight. Tomorrow my mom and step-dad are driving in from Seattle to spend the next four of five days with us. I am outrageously excited about this. And.......next wednesday is the first day of my new job. Yes that's right, no more coffeehouse job for me. I am moving on, and darned happy about it, for so many reasons.

This whole job thing - making the decision to find a new one and then actually doing it, has mainly been to blame for the turmoil of my last few posts. And rather than go on and on about what and why, let me just say that I am so glad I made the decision to change jobs. What I am going into is definatly more along the "career" path than my coffee shop job, and right now, Brant and I really need that.

Enough with the boring stuff, lets talk about what is fabulous today:

• Eggnog in coffee. I have singlhandedly drunk at least a gallon of the stuff, and I still want more. Ooohhh, make a eggnog au lait (1/2 nog and 1/2 coffee) and tell me you aren't in love!
• People who put so many Christmas lights up, they have to get the power company to install an additional box.
• My dogs playing in the snow.

Hope everyone is having a great holiday!!
