People are constantly changing. I was talking to my mom on the phone last night, and she told me that when her and my dad got married (LONG time ago) that they promised each other that neither of them would ever change.
Change is INEVITABLE. Change is life. It happens. Always. No matter how much you try to fight it.
Over this last year David and I have both changed a lot! We decided that Christianity isn't our thing. And we both not only found ourselves again, but realized that we are truly meant for each other. We change together. It is really cool to know that you are with the one person who was made for you, and that you can both change and love each other. Our changed have caused us to grow closer together.
Anyways... I was just thinking about it and wanted to share ;)

~*~The Holidays~*~
As I sit here in my warm and cozy house, my daughter is sitting on the living room floor playing with her "Littlelest Petshop" pets, and my husband is at his mom's house. I just finished reading a good friend's blog about her holidays, and realized that I have not updated my own personal blog in I don't know how long! So here goes...
This year was our first year celebrating the holidays with David's parents. It was our second holiday season as a married couple, and the year before was spent at my mom's house.
Thanksgiving was a lot of fun :) We went to my in-laws (Curt & Tammy's) the day before. Tammy and I almost instantly busied ourselves in the kitchen baking pies, making desserts, and making dips and platters and everything we could the night before. We got to bed late, around 3:00am, and then were up as early as possible preparing dinner. Tammy did the turkey and some other stuff, and I made the side dishes. Willow was very entertained in the living room with Grampy, eating chips and dip and watching football :D
Christmas was even a busier time! Christmas started the first week of December for us, lol! I can't even tell you how many times I went to the mall in December! It was so much fun though! First I went shopping with Tammy and her niece Tabatha. Then, it was Tammy, Willow, and I. Willow met Santa, and after getting over the shock of seeing him in person, she warmed up to him and had a nice little chat :) Of course we got pictures! I will upload them to my facebook profile as soon as possible.
Again, we went to my in-laws the day before the holiday, and prepped as much as possible. Christmas dinner was a lot easier and less-stressful than Thanksgiving, because we decided to not do a traditional meal, and we didn't make many dishes either. Just ham, sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, and something else. We just relaxed and hung out a bit :)
I can't even list all the the presents Willow received in Christmas, but they included clothes; a Dora the Explorer doll w/ a pony named "Cookie"; a tea set; the games "Chutes and Ladders" and "Cooties"; and a doll furniture set that has a playpen/crib, bouncy seat, and an umbrella stroller, just to name a few.
New Years wasn't that exciting. We went back to my in-laws! lol! Willow made it until midnight just fine, but Grampy didn't ;) He fell asleep around 10pm. I had a bad cold, and so my MIL (mom in law) made me two got tate's and I went to bed.
My birthday is almost here! I will be turning 21 on January 30th, so excited! I am celebrating with a few close friends. Then February 1st is David's and my 2 year anniversary! Crazy to think everything we've been through together in the last two years, and even more crazy to think about how all of it fits into 2 years :S Following our anniversary is Willow's 4th birthday on February 9th. And then just two days later I will be catching a train up to Placerville! I will be leaving February 11th, and I will be coming home on the 16th. According to my mom, it is going to be a jam-packed weekend, lol!
Anyways, that's what's new with us :)
