A Day in the Life of an Unreliable Blogger

I think we can establish at this point that I am a horrible blogger... The date on my last post is in early August... aka I sincerely doubt anyone will read this way out of context blog post, but that's ok :). I've come to terms with it.

Anyway, since we've left off... well, a lot has happened! We passed our one year mark a couple months ago in September - to be honest it's really hard to believe that that was already a few months ago.  But beyond the emotional and sentimental celebrations of eclipsing a year together, it means we're now encroaching upon the second of everything - which is a pretty special feeling. This is our second Thanksgiving, our second Christmas, our second set of birthdays. Someone asked me recently what "we typically do for Christmas." Here shortly, I'll actually have an answer. And that feels kind of nice!

For the record, thus far what we do for Christmas is decorate entirely too early.  This is the Christmas tree in our living room... literally right now :-). We both took a "decorating day" off of work, which personally, I'm hoping becomes a tradition as well.

We also have stockings on the mantel, though they don't quite match our personalities anymore (funny how that happens... right? We used them a year ago but somehow they don't make sense any more...) so we need to replace those... but otherwise it's "life as usual" with a crazy new degree of context to the "as usual" bit. It's nice. It's comfortable - that context. Anyway, that's the catch up. That's the day in the life - a year plus, and it's already Christmas here in the JoJoMimi household.  And at the speed time is moving, it will pretty rapidly be Christmas for everyone else as well.
