Who had the best weekend ever?? Me!

The highlight of the holiday weekend last weekend was definitely celebrating 6 kick ass months with my amazing boyfriend, Dave! Our weekend really began Thursday morning. Dave came with me Thanksgiving morning to support me while I ran a 5k for the Utah Food Bank. We went home after that and got me set up on World of Warcraft. Yes, it's true. I'm playing WOW. Lol. A few hours later we went to my aunt's for Thanksgiving. Friday night I believe we just relaxed a bit. Saturday night was our 6 month anniversary celebration. We went to Sushi at Water Moon (YUM!!!!!!!!!!) and then to see Caroline's Spine play at Club Vegas. It was one of my favorite nights in a LONG time! I love Dave so much and I can't imagine my life without him. He's the best thing that has ever happened to me. Sunday we got up at went skiing (and snowboarding for him). It was a nasty day weather-wise but with some help from Dave (letting me use his equipment while he fended for himself lol) I was able to stay warm and we rode for a good 5 hours. So fun! We came home Sunday and watched tv and went to bed early. Sounds like the best weekend ever hu? Cuz it was!!! Lol. Dave and I have so much fun together, he makes me laugh and smile all day and night and I love him for it. Thank you honey for everything! I can't wait till we get to celebrate one year!!! =D

On another note, I am so very excited for Christmas this year, as always! I celebrate Christmas because it is a family tradition. It is so fun to get involved in the community at this time of year and to enjoy the holiday season with everyone around you. Christmas is just magical. To me, Christmas has nothing to do with a God or a guy named Jesus. I thought I would share things I love about Christmas that to me, have nothing to do with religion. Here they are:

• Spending a couple of months looking for gifts that make my friends and family smile and know that they are loved
• Sipping on hot chocolate with marshmallows while decorating a fresh pine tree with ornaments that bring back so many memories
• Visiting Santa's Reindeer at Thanksgiving Point
• Singing Christmas songs you've known and sang with your family since you could first talk
• Volunteering at places like the food bank, to help others have a happy Christmas too
• Cooking all day to sit down to a delicious meal with my family I love dearly
• Everyone being together to celebrate
• Christmas baking!!! (cookies and banana bread are my personal specialty)
• Christmas Crafts
• Christmas lights
• Wrapping Presents

There are so many more that I'm forgetting, I'm sure, but I just love Christmas time so much! It's sad when it's over...but then it's onto New Years, setting New Years goals, and Valentine's Day!!! Lol. Maybe I just love every holiday, ok? Ok. I hope everyone has a good weekend!!! =D
