It's official!
Zac is finished with his Bachelors Degree at the U.
His last final was this morning, now WE can start celebrating Christmas.

Is it possible to love your tree more and more each year?! Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree how I love you.

We finally got our new couch! I've only been talking about this for a year, it's was time to cave in and buy it. When we went to go pick up the original light gray couch, we saw this dark gray beauty and we knew this one was it. Early Merry Christmas to us.

Dear Santa-

We've been awesome!

It's that time of year again. Down with everything fall, up with everything Christmas. I love this time of year, and I love the man who will carry all my Christmas decorations up a flight of stairs for me.

In just a few short moments we will be leaving on a jet plane off for Iowa, and we couldn't be more excited! My brother and his cute wife (and 2 boys) just welcomed baby Avery into their family, and this Sunday they will be blessing her. I already love this little girl and I haven't even met her... but in a few short hours I will! I'm feeling very blessed. Not only for new additions to this crazy family but for an amazing husband who gets to calm my fears until the plane lands.

That's the lucky number this year. My husband is turning 26 in a few short hours. Amazing how age only hits me when it is Zac's birthday and not my own, so yes I am feeling old. And so is the Mr. "we are no longer in our early twenties" I've heard him say few times over the past week. Despite the dramatics "we" are excited to be 26 soon. Is it us or do you always feel like you are in your early twenties?! Either way, I'm so grateful that I'm apart of Zac Marion's 26th birthday celebration.

Only 5 more days till Mr. Marion's birthday, and while prepping for the party I can't help but think back on all the Halloween costumes we have worn through the years.

2007- Guatemalan soccer players.

2008- UFC players.

2009- Edward and Bella.

2010- Carl and Russel from UP.

What will it be this year??

10 things that make me happy for fall...

1. seeing family
2. warm comfort foods in my belly
3. crispy leaves under my feet
4. making our halloween costumes
5. celebrating my LOVES birthday
6. my mothers homemade wassail
7. sweaters
8. baking with the mr.
9. the smell of any fall candle
10. most of all, cuddle time with the warmest (literally) husband

While browsing through the cutest blog I found the BEST saying that fits the Mr. and I PERFECTLY.

I'm sure you can guess which is which.
