My Dream Vacation

I've come to the startling realization that my dream vacation no longer involves traveling to Europe. I know. Shocking. 

If I could have my dream vacation, this would be it:

Spending the "after" holidays at a cabin in the woods

Where I could sit by the fireplace in a big cozy chair and watch the snow fall outside

I would sit by the Christmas tree and just read

While drinking hot apple cider

And I would definitely be wearing that sweet, sweet coat over a cable knit sweater and chunky scarf while my sweetheart and I stroll through the local town.

There is something special about wintertime plus Christmas. I hate being in the snow because I don't like being cold and wet. But snow is beautiful. I can think of nothing more peaceful. Don't believe me? Put this on: http://endlessvideo.com/watch?v=DIx3aMRDUL4 and in another tab listen to this: http://www.endlessvideo.com/watch?v=rQeHEY-eKWg&start=0m0s&end=4m16s

You're welcome.

UPDATE: If we were 100% debt-free and magically had $600 to spend we would go here for the three days after Christmas: http://www.alaskaninn.com/

William is 3!

William is the best. 

He's sweet, funny, adorable, energetic, curious, and he's got sweet dance moves. 

William is my little angel. 

Three years ago, God sent Tyson and me a perfect little boy who is growing up faster than we can believe. 

The best things that William does are not related to his Elvis impersonations or the fact that when you ask him what his name is he says "Me!" 

The best thing about William is that he is ours forever. 

The best thing about William is his massive spirit crammed inside a tiny body with a brain that goes faster than his mouth so you can't really understand what he says all the time.

The best thing about William is that when I'm sad he tells me not to cry and gives me hugs and kisses.

We love you, William. We're excited to watch you grow up a little more every day. I'm thrilled to be your momma. I love you, sweet pea!
