Good music...



I'm embarrassed to admit how many times I've listened to this song.  I love it.  We almost caved and bought tickets to The Killers concert in Vegas next week, but instead practiced a little self-restraint.



And this video is just positive and uplifting.  I really like it.

We Wish You a Merry Christmas


My brother, Aaron, is a teacher in Japan.  He just sent this to my mom.  I think it's adorable!

Thanksgiving

Our Thanksgiving was very relaxing.  I felt spoiled not having to work the holiday.  And it was an added bonus to have some of my family visiting from California.  We almost had the whole crew here.  In the evening we attempted some shopping at the outlets, but decided nothing was worth the lines.  We got hot chocolate and headed home.

Somehow I failed to take any photos of the actual Thanksgiving meal...and I didn't get any of my sweet mom who prepared the meal.  The food was delicious - my mom's pecan pies are one of the highlights, they're absolutely amazing!

I feel incredibly grateful for so many things - Thanksgiving always helps me realign my sometimes skewed focus.  I'm looking forward to the other holidays, too!
