It's Ok

 

I am so happy to be able to finally take advantage of my first link-up! I've been following Neely for a little while and saw she hosted this great link-up! I'm still pretty new at this and I hope I'm doing it right. A lot has been going on with me and I'm finding that my blog and the support I get from it is so wonderful I should be sharing a lot more! The husband got Assassins Creed III for Christmas so that gives me lots of extra time on our computer now! Lol.

 

Without further interruption, please enjoy my first "It's Ok Thursdays"!

 

It's Ok...

 

To not want the Christmas season to end and have to put away all my pretty decorations. :(

 

To be scared of the possibility of a very complex back surgery in my future. Everyone is telling me to go ahead with it, but the thought of being cut open and spending a few nights in the hospital scares me.

 

To be sad that my Mom and Sister couldn't make it for Christmas this year. I miss both of them so much! Hoping Mom will make it out here in a couple of weeks!

 

That I've been sleeping so much lately. The holidays have kept me pretty active which takes it's toll on me physically. I sleep because my body needs to heal and the meds keep me tired!

 

To not be sure of anything any more. The future and my plans are so up in the air these days. I need to be patient and know that things will fall into place when the time is right.

 

To have my phone full of pictures of this little guy. He makes me so happy! I was blessed with the best fur baby in the world!

 

My cuddle buddy, Rocky <3

 

 



Merry Christmas!

Just dropping in to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas!

I will be enjoying Christmas Eve with my in-laws and Christmas Day with both my family and in-laws! I love that we all come together during the holidays!

 

My mom and my sister will be absent this year and sorely missed. I'm reminded that although they aren't here to celebrate this joyous day, they are still very present in my life and I am so grateful to call them family.

 

Merry Christmas!

 

From Kim, Wan and Rocky <3

 

 

 

Home for the Holidays

It seems like so long since my last post! Lot's going on with Christmas just around the corner. Last week I got the news that my mom would not be joining us for Christmas. The tickets are insanely expensive this time of year and it just doesn't make sense to come now. Hopefully next month. I've accepted it, but not after crying like a baby because I wouldn't be with my mom for the first time in my life on Christmas. Yes, I am a cry baby.

The good news is that I got a brand new "fake" tree this year and I love it so much more than our last one! My mom also sent me my stocking and I got my husband and "fur baby" Rocky stockings too! It's time to start our own traditions and I am so excited to see how much the holiday grows in our home. :)

(excuse the fuzzy phone pictures)

 

With all the warm and fuzzies that the holidays bring I was super excited when I found out my custom order from DefineBliss is on it's way! Back in October I entered a giveaway over at Katie's Camo-Colored Chaos and I won! I began emailing with Jessica at DefineBliss and she came up with the most beautiful custom order for our family! I should have it this weekend and I can't wait! This was my first time ordering something from Etsy and Jessica made the process so smooth and effortless. I got my husband in on it and we agreed on the font, color, and placement of everything! I definitely recommend her for all your custom needs! She's awesome!

 

This baby will be hanging right above our TV in the center of our little home. :)

 

 

After a little over a year in this tiny apartment of ours, it's really starting to feel like a home. It's custom pieces like this along with lots of love and memories. :)

 

 

I hope you all have a great weekend!
