My parents gave my boyfriend and I this super cute record player for Christmas! We have been so obsessed with it. We even got to open a Fleetwood Mac Record from its original date. Omg!!!
My Christmas Catch Up I got my Letter Opener..aka Sting! Hi Lovies! Hope your holidays were fun and you had warm fuzzies all over. This year I spent the Holidays with my family on the farm. It was very much needed and even the weather was warm enough to go out walking through the woods. Though I do love a fire in the fire place on a cold Christmas day, I could't complain. This has been one of the finest holidays I have had in a very long while. My family is like The Griswold's and we don't always see eye to eye. It has been one of our longest standing jokes, that where ever we are or when we did something as a group, that's what we called ourselves. We are usually all over the place, my twin brothers, Mom, Dad, and me. This year was super special, we all got along, laughed, shared in good discussions and for the first time in a long time, we all were completely emerged in having a wonderful time, together. There were four dogs running around, which made me extremely happy as an animal person. Which brings me to my next amazing part to my Christmas story. We have always been a family that rescues animals, we share in wanting to help those that have been given up on. The mass majority of the animals that have been brought to our property, have all been rescues or retired. From race horses to sheep, to llamas, we house them all. Roughly about ten years ago, on Christmas Day, a beautiful puppy came waltzing up our drive and melted our hearts. After checking everywhere we could to see if he belonged to someone, we invited him to stay in our lives. and he has been a major part in it since. This year we had a very similar thing happen to us, a pit bull, boxer mix came to our place a few days before Christams and my parents fell in love with him. A little timid and pretty shy, you can tell has had abuse in his life, but he is one of the sweetest things ever. Of course, we decided to keep him and my mom named him Kringle. YAY! I was super excited to play with four dogs for two days. This Christmas I got way more than I ever could have hoped for, from the Record player I keep talking about to the tea sampler and Books, I will have plenty to tell you guys in the coming blogs. New Year & Clear Slate Wow! 2015 is just around the corner...as I'm sure you have been told a thousand times already, on Facebook and other social Media. Alas, even I really can't believe it. I feel as if just the other day I was sitting in 6th grade, calculating how old I would I be in 2015. Here I am, at the eve of my 30th year, (I'm a January baby) reflecting on the past ten years of my life and what the years have brought me.. 2015 is about rythms and cycles as we progress in all areas of our lives. Remember, it's never too late to start with a clean slate. Each year we are given a chance to improve on the previous. Even if others tell you differently, trust what feels right for you, and know that the Universe is on your side. I believe that each year begins a new chapter in the great book of our lives. Life is about experience and learning who you are, trying new things and succeeding where we failed before. I feel that too often we are pressured by society to be something we're not and it's only too late that we figure out life is meant for us. By investing in yourself you are taking so many steps in the right direction towards the future you are meant to live. You are on a journey, and you will never be to old to start a new adventure. I love the fact that Bilbo (even though fictional) was 50 when he began his adventure, makes me not be so scared to begin new things at 30. ::giggles:: This coming year, with the theme of rythm and cycles, remember to be patient with yourself and in all your endeavors.. Tweet: We are not perfect beings but we are perfectly us. It's a dangerous business, going out of your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no telling where you might be swept off to. -Lord of the Rings Things to remember going into 2015:
