FINALLY!
a fresh cut christmas tree graces the living room
of our little love shack.

marty’s parents always have the best christmas trees,
so we made a little afternoon adventure out of it
yesterday. we braved the roads, the wind and the snow
to find ourselves the two perfect spruces,

and the added bonus was having a glimpse
of what kind of grandparents our children
are going to have someday,
…my god are we so lucky, and to realize those blessings
through having fiona only makes her presence
in our life that much more special.
…even just today i got a text from a friend who
asked about her specifically! i just think that’s cool.

i also think it’s cool that we got mail the other day that
came to us addressed to “The Hoots”
…173 days before that’s official, although
i already feel as though i’m a hoot, ha!
get it?

oh, and i also destroyed our christmas tree yesterday,
i got a little carried away with the saw while
marty was at the hardware store. he left me with an
8 foot tree and came home 15 mins later to a 5 foot tree.
whoops!
