I am just bursting with joy
I am just bursting with joy! Mike's mom told him yesterday that we didn't need to sleep over at her house Christmas Eve (as he's done for the past 15 years) and that maybe it was time for the little bird to fly the nest and start his own Christmas morning traditions with his new bride-to-be. YAAAAYYYY!!! I feel like this is a HUGE step in the right direction for us!
The previous plan was to spend an entire 30 hours straight with his family, sleeping over at his mom's house Christmas Eve and driving over to his dad's in the afternoon of Christmas Day. Now the plan is to arrive at Mike's mom's house this afternoon, exchange gifts with his Mom and Sister, leave Mike's mom's house tonight whenever we feel like it, sleep in our own bed, do our own gift exchange in the morning, and make it over to Mike's Dad's house in the afternoon for dinner! It will be so lovely to have a break between the two events, as well as to start our own traditions and start making our own memories as a soon-to-be married couple. :-)
I will have to take lots of pictures tomorrow when we unwrap gifts. Mike's mom makes her famous Dolly Parton Cinnamon Rolls every Christmas morning (aptly named for the large, rotund size of the rolls) and she's pre-made some for us to take home with us before we leave her house Xmas Eve. That's really sweet of her! And I hobbled into Trader Joe's last night and picked up 2 individual sized Broccoli & Cheese Quiches to have with the cinnamon rolls. Yum-wah! Over 400 calories each (yikes), but hell, I'll be good for the rest of the year.
My knee is feeling a little better. I was feeling the effects of cabin fever last night, as I hadn't left the house since Thursday evening, so the Trader Joe's trip was both refreshing and a little painful. I wrapped up my knee in an Ace bandage for stability, but I don't know if it really mattered. I was feeling ok for a while, but after the first 3 aisles I was starting to feel it. I came home and had to ice it again. It's like 2 steps forward, 1 step back, you know? I'm so punny. :-)
Right next to TJ's is a CB2 (Crate & Barrel's more youthful and hip store) and I saw these cute plates in my wedding color (Tiffany blue) so I bought 2 of the largest ones for using as serving platters. I am just obsessed with that color now that I know I'm using it in my wedding - everywhere I go I spot it and gravitate towards it, like a moth to a hot Tiffany blue flame! Yowza!
