light me up

i know, i've been missing as of late. but i am making a pre-new year's resolution to update, for pretty bride's sake.

today is one of my favorite days. and no, i am not a black friday shopper. i have never been once in my life and i never plan to start (although technically we are heading to target today, but only because we are going to pick up more IU ornaments for our IU christmas tree...pics will be posted soon).

today is one of my favorite days because...it kicks off the christmas season. i love LOVE love this season. the lights, the decorations, the red cups at starbucks, and just the generally feeling of cheer from most people. and i am so excited to get to walk around downtown every day with it all decorated for christmas. tonight logan and i (and a couple of friends) are headed downtown for the circle of lights celebration where they light up monument circle. i cannot wait to indulge in my red cupped starbucks peppermint mocha and watch as this city kicks off my favorite season...

but for now, i will return to my couch position in front of my christmas tree and read. awww..its nice to relax.
