update/christmas delight

ive tried blogging a few times in the past couple of months, all to no avail. i wrote about becoming an auntie to what could quite possibly be the very cutest boy on the planet. he is perfection. born on october 16, 2012 at 8:25pm, quinn holds my whole heart right in the palm of his hand. i wanted to post pictures in the blogs i had written about him before and it wont work! which really chaps my hide. like, for real. so... you can see my little quinn on facebook, but because im kinda technologically challenged you'll get none here. sorry dudes.

i also tried writing about falling in love. since last blogging, ive somehow managed to completely fall in love with a man i never imagined existed. he is the nicest man ive ever known. he is beautiful- on the inside and out. he is smart, and funny, and affectionate, and loving. we think all the same things are funny, and we laugh constantly. we spend most of our time talking- for hours. he is a passionate man. passionate about life, passionate about love, and to my very happy surprise, passionate about me. his name is kevin, and if i could keep him forever, i would. here's hoping... :) he went through a similar kind of divorce a while ago too- similar mostly in the fact that it was HARD. he is the daddy to the prettiest, and sweetest, most adorable little lady on the planet- kayla. aka- "my kayla bug." i love her. not really sure what else there is to say... other than that id like to keep her forever too. she's what i like to call "saucy," and i love it. she's tough, and she knows just what she wants. more than anything though? she's sweet, and has very quickly become my best friend. we are involved in what i like to call "a pretty serious love affair." i feel blessed, and i feel so lucky to have these two precious souls in my life. im so glad i have followed my heart in previous relationships because my choices have lead my here... to him... and to her. and to be honest? there's no where else in the world id rather be. i wanted so badly to post pictures of the life we share together... but again, no can do. :/ in just two and half short months, we have managed to create more memories than i can count and i wish, wish, wish i was able to share the pics and document all of our silly stories. :/

anyway, i guess i figured i should update even if my shady tech skills wont allow me to share pics. i AM however, in a position to share some pics of some holiday fun kayla, kevin and i will have in the upcoming weeks. (weird that im able to share these pics and not the others, right? whatevs.)

we plan to have a baking party and make all kinds of super cute, delicious christmas treats. i did this in nashville every year, and had such fun distributing my delicious delicacies to friends around town. thats the plan for this year too- so dont be alarmed if we show up at your door with christmas goodies in hand, made with sugar and with love. (this will probably be happening the weekend of december 14th... so dont say i didnt warn you!)  :)

some of things you may find....

is your mouth watering yet? lol. im super excited to make these goodies with my little side kick kayla. she will have such fun, and it'll be a tradition we'll make happen each year. so! if you know you rock my world... and you know you are my peep... get ready! cause the christmas goodies are on the way!

im so, so, so glad that christmas is here friends. it is my most favorite time of year, and i love it. our tree is absolute perfection, our chritmas candles burn each day, and the christmas tunes are blaring constantly. im blessed to think of my life a year ago... and then to look around and realize how lucky i am to call this reality my own. i love you all so much, and i hope that your christmas season is just as magical as mine.

be blessed friends. and as always, be thankful.
