Oh goll, where do I even begin to write this??? The past 2 months have been great, I have loved every second of it. I have to throw in that I have met this amazing new guy (Derek Colby who is now officially my 'boyfriend' not that that changes anything but hey you gotta take the next step eventually and since we are together 24/7 why not right??), and even though things with Josh and me are over for good and it was hard to say goodbye to the last 3 years of my life, I'm so excited to see what the rest of the world has to offer me. I've never been so excited to grow up and figure out who I want to be. Anyway, enough with being deep... This month is the month of Christmas and I'm so excited for it.
A couple of weeks ago me and the roomies decorated the apartment to bring out our holiday spirit. I'm not much of a decorative person, but Bre and Linds are for sure and they do a great job at it. After work one Wednesday (I think that's when it was) we all got together and went shopping for ornaments and other things. I already had a tree, but we just needed EVERYTHING else. First we went to Hobby Lobby but everything there was way too expensive for my liking. Since the Christmas tree is mine I agreed that I would buy all the ornaments for it, Brilliant Bre suggested that we go to the dollar store to look for stuff. Me and Linds both didn't think that was very promising but HEY we were wrong. They had the flipping cutest ornaments and all for only $1.00. I was stoked that we found some worth buying so we got a ton of stuff there. Don't ever under estimate the dollar store, they have pretty cute things sometimes.
I love how my friends know me so well, because after the dollar store we decided we were going to go to a couple different places then go to our favorite restaurant Callaways after. We got back to Hobby Lobby to pick out a star and other random decorations for the apartment. Lindsee could tell that I was starting to get hungry by the way I was lagging in the shopping department and getting a tid bit ornery. She was all, "Alright Ashlee is hungry lets get her food right now before we all regret not going soon enough (lol)". We hurried and finished up there, went to Callways and I was content with shopping again. We stopped by Michael's, got Lindsee her much needed Cranberry wreath and headed for home.
My Christmas tree was originally wrapped in colored lights and Linds wanted to put white lights on it, so we spend about 45 minutes cutting zip ties off the branches and taking off the 100,000,000 lights. Derek (Colby) was the professional entertainer for the dogs while we were doing all of this. We finally got the white Christmas tree lights on and Bre was ready to decorate. I'm very happy to say that my talented roommates and my bank account make a really good couple, because all the things I bought and their mad skill worked out perfect together.
Here are a couple pictures of the tree... I think its pretty bad ass...
Mop Top and the Tree
For Christmas Eve I have been suckered in to staying at my parents house. Don't get me wrong, of course I want to stay up there, but Annette told me the other day that I have no choice, I HAVE to stay there lol oh well. I'm excited for Christmas adventures. Usually we have a big feast on Christmas Eve even though its just Gloria, Dave, mom and me. Justin and his wife are too busy to come over. I might just have to make Derek suffer and stop by and play Rummikub with us. He would love to do that I'm sure ;) I'll make him sit by Gloria.
Anyway, Chloe is always invited to come over to the parents and sleep at their house Christmas Eve night. I think my mom gets jealous that Chloe sleeps with me and not her (even though she would never admit that). I hate having to sleep there with Chloe though because all she wants to do is explore throughout the night (and I'm sure poop and pee all over the place), last Christmas I didn't get much sleep because she would not settle down. Moppit always gets good Christmas gifts though, one from everyone. Its pretty nice how much my family loves her.
Derek and I went to the mall on Saturday to finish up our last minute Christmas shopping. He surprised me by buying me the cutes watch I've ever seen for my Christmas gift. Here is a picture of it.
Ahh so pretty. I love it. Derek is the greatest person I could have ever met. Best thing that's happened to me in a long time. (And not just because he got me a cute watch haha).
I hope everyone has a great Christmas! Love you all!
