Random Pics

Sorry I haven't been doing a good job updating my bog. I have just been feeling kind of blah lately. I am missing my babe and the holiday season isn't helping. I have been busy but I didn't figure you wanted to see pics of me Christmas shopping or hanging out with friends watching movies. I really need to get out and get you some more pics of snowy AK. I promise I will, it is just a little difficult when the sun starts to go down around 3:00 pm.

I will shake myself out of this funk soon! Until I find some fun stuff to post, here are some random pics and some ramblings.

A snowy day in AK. Surprisingly, we haven't gotten a lot of snow yet this year. I am going to regret saying that I have a feeling. One think I really like about the snow around here is that it stays on the trees longer. There isn't a lot of wind so the trees stay covered for days. It really gives you a sense of a winter wonderland.

My new, unconventional Christmas table centerpiece. Do you recognize it? I can give you a hint: That is Linus's blanket around the bottom. I love it!

Do you see what I see? :)

Boone must have been feeling very protective of his Kong at this moment. He sat there for quite awhile with it snuggled by his side. Silly dog!

I'll always think of you and smile

Random things you probably don't care about...

I feel like I haven't been up to much. At least not anything I feel you guys would be interested in. But then I thought, the beauty of having a blog means I can write what I want whether you like reading it or not. :)

So here goes nothing really interesting...

*I feel like the best way to relieve stress is to have a good cry.
*I am still trying to figure out my talent.
*I miss my old apartment above the funeral home garage. Although, there is no way Aaron and I would fit.
*I want to make God proud of me.
*I am surrounded by people who love me yet sometimes I feel alone.
*My dog sneaks behind my back and eats my paper towels/napkins. I don't know until the evidence is in the back yard.
*Who thought to put honey and mustard together? It is seriously disturbing to me.
*I couldn't wait to leave Shinglehouse yet I miss that place and the people in it.
*I wonder if my cousin Amanda is hanging out with my grandparents in heaven.
*I didn't rake one leaf this year and I don't feel bad about it.
*I don't understand hate and never want too.
*I think Nerds are the best candy ever made.
*I have a lot of great craft ideas yet never follow through with the project.
*I own no shoes I love except my slippers.
*I am awed/inspired by nature yet do nothing with my inspiration.
*Some weekends I sit in my bath robe for many hours.
*I don't know what I want to be when I grow up.
*I think being an Army wife is hard, really hard but I am grateful and honored to be one.
*I rarely toast my poptarts.
*I feel most at home at my Aunt Sally's house.
*I am so proud of Aaron that some days I feel like I don't deserve him.
*If I could live and not turn into a crazy person I would replace sleep with reading.
*I would eat lunch everyday if I could have a picnic.
*I checked out cartoon movies from the library Friday because I felt like a cartoon weekend.
*I would love to get into an RV and go to ever crazy tourist site in the US.

No more rambling tonight. I am off to watch Mulan II...
