Howdy people!
It's November, the 21st to be exact and like most of you I deep in the trenches of the holidays!
Today is my anniversary to my dear boyfriend, three years! But I have known him more than eight and now is when I start to feel time on me and how fast it moves and that I am very quickly approaching my mid twenties when yesterday it felt like I was turning 21. Then there is Ryan's daughter who went from a wobbly 3.5 years of age and will be 7 in May. Which gets me thinking about my impending graduation in a year, and what I am doing after and if I get two year-long masters degrees like I am planning Lily will be 10 by the time I am done, Ryan 30 and I will be 26! My mom already had three kids at 26! Granted she started young....but still! I guess I am taking the other path of career then babies, maybe? Do I even want babies? Why is it plural? (bangs head on keyboard)

BACK TO THE IMMEDIATE FUTURE
Thankgiving is in a week, and somehow me having a comfy family gathering is now including many friends and has almost reached 20 guests! So I had to rent en event space at my apartment unit, because I only like in 800 square feet, a little cozy if people only get about 5 feet per person. However, through planning and patience I think I will somehow pull it off, and everyone is bringing some type of food which helps a ton.
Then Christmas is a whole 26 days after that and we will be travelling to see family that day.
The GREAT news is that I am finished with GIFT SHOPPING! finished, done, happy and everything is wrapped!
You say "how the hell, Rebecca"
I say "year-round shopping!"
I start picking up stuff in October usually, order books for set family members from work at the same time (I work at an independent bookstore) and then I get a few things at local stores to add to the presents, consult with siblings to go in on big gifts and VOILA I am finished baby. The last thing to do is convince the boyfriend to take a NICE holiday photo with me and then we can make our cards and get then on their way (he hates photos and makes faces as a result).
That's about that. My holiday blurb, comment below if you want more shopping tips.
