So I'm beginning to get really excited about going to Louisiana. I'm also really excited about giving Xmas present this year, esp since 90% of them are homemade/painted.....does that mean I'm a grown-up??? I hope not. I took pics of everything, so I'll be able to post them all after xmas. I can't wait to meet my newest niece, but also the chance to spend tons of time with the one that's already here. The things I'm REALLY gonna hate is leaving Stephen and Kira for 3 weeks. I think Stephen will enjoy the time to relax and play games all day if he wishes, but even if he doesn't, at least he can hope on the phone or video chat and he understands I'm coming back.....Kira doesn't :( If it wouldn't have been so expensive, I would have brought her with me... Someone (of course AFTER I booked the tickets) suggested I rent a car for the trip down there and back up.....I can't believe I didn't think about that...and combined it's GOT to be cheaper...or at least the same price and I'd be able to bring Kira. EPIC FAIL, but oh well....
Let's see...what else was there to talk about?....
Oh, so while I'm down there I'm hoping my parents will start building the cabins. I hope to contribute some kind of way, either by helping with construction....or some other creative way. I'm gonna begin the cabins' website while I'm down there. And they have a really cute idea: have themed cabins...for different animals/etc related to the Swamp. I was thinking I could buy some cute signs at Hobby Lobby and paint the name of the cabin on it for when they're built.
The house is decorated for xmas, glad I did it early (for me) so that I could enjoy it while I'm here. The tree even has 3 different brands of candy canes: Now & Later, Life Savers, and Jelly Belly.
This morning I woke up and Kira was under the covers. We've been trying to make her sleep in the new bed we got her at night...I even have it pushed up against the bed. But last night she bullied her way under the covers....and now I know why....it is FREEZING! I woke up, my nose was froze.....it was 11 degrees outside and windchill was -5.......can't wait to go to above freezing where it's cold but not so cold that I can't have a fire outside whenever I want.....and believe me...I plan to have a fire almost every night :) I'm such a pyro....just blame it on the Mitchell side of me....
