Is it really December?
I can't believe I only have twelve more shopping days left. And only nineteen days left in 2005. Wow. Where has the year gone?
We actually get to spend Christmas this year with our families. My sister and her boyfriend live in Oxford, AL, and Walden's family lives in Gadsden, which is only about fourty-five minutes away. I am so excited! I hate spending the holidays away from my family! So it's off to Oxford next Friday! So thrilled!
Anyway this past Saturday was Walden's company Christmas party. It was so classy! It was at the Foundry at the Worlds Fair. I got to meet all his co-workers and his bosses. And not to mention the food was delicious! I can't believe it...are we really adults? Since when did we spend Saturday nights schmoozing with CEO's and Vice Presidents, champagne in hand? (As I blog, I'm also listening to Big Bird sing on the television. Hah!) And this Friday we're going to Walden's old boss's house for another Christmas party. And then is Walden's surprise birthday party (shh!) next, next Friday! I can't believe I am pulling this off. I got his entire family to come up for his birthday party (the 30th) and a couple of his best friends from high school and college (about 20 people in our little apartment! Yikes!) without him having even a clue. I guess having your husband work all day long has its benefits. :)
I'm so pumped about his party. It's going to be a Poker and Game Night theme. Ken (Jen's boyfriend) is getting him a really nice poker chip set for Christmas, and my parents bought him a poker table top, so that'll be swell. And we've got all kinds of board games. I make it my goal to own Twister before the party, though, so Santa, that's the top thing on my list. Martha (Walden's mom) bought a bunch of poker-themed platters and decorations when she was here for Thanksgiving, and my parents are helping me put together the menu. I am so excited. I love that sort of thing. When Walden and I get our own house, we're throwing a party at least every month! I mean, there's always something to celebrate.
Anyway, Sesame Street is almost over and I haven't even started the laundry!

I wish I were as grown-up as you, Jess. ;) Would you be my mentor?
