It's the most wonderful time of the year..

(Right after we went sledding, probably like our 4th time hanging out!)

(Horse back riding in the middle of December 07 ^^)

(Snow Shoeing, the beginning of January^^)

Isn't it weird how we allll get stressed this time of year, because life is so crazy, yet.. it is almost everyones favorite holiday?

I LOVE this time of year!

& recently I've discovered another reason to love it. :)

Let me explain.....

Blake and I met November 17, 2007. Last month, I realized that everything...all of the music, the smells, the activities, even the winter clothes I've started wearing again, bring me back to a year ago this time! :)

For example...When Blake comes and picks me up, the cold weather reminds me of the way it felt when he would pick me up on our first nervous dates! I'm bringing out those winters clothes that I wore last year to impress him..haha ya know... all those furry boots, sweaters and coats! Going sledding and drinking hot chocolate! Our family, friends and employers are throwing their annual Christmas parties that we nervously invited each other to. Christmas music, Thanksgiving food, Christmas food, ice on the driveways...all that fun stuff..is now not only exciting because it brings on the Christmas spirit, but it brings me back to the beginning days of me and Blake :)

We're getting married in less than two weeks now! Ah! I hope you all go your invitations! If you haven't yet, let me know so I can send another one. :)
