a blur

Boy oh boy has this been one crazy, yet amazing, month.  I have been very absent from the online world.  It has been a good break for sure because I have been living life.

Here is a little snap shot into the past month here.

*  We voted

*  we celebrate my AMAZING mom's birthday

* We saw PAUL MCCARTNEY!!  Omg, that probably deserves it's own belated post because it was just amazing.  I loved it.  It was an awesome surprise birthday present for Adam :)  

*  Adam celebrated his 32nd birthday :)

*  He was also in and out of the ER three times this month with crazy symptoms and even the ICU (which was scary) but praise God, he is home and feeling so much better.

*  Amelia had a Christmas Photoshoot with Fresh Art Photography (favorite)!

*  We went to my friend Marie's wedding where I got to see all of my besties :)

*  Adam's sister came for a visit!!!

*  We decorated the house for Christmas :)

*  and most importantly, Miss Amelia FINALLY became a MacLean (legally).  Amelia was officially adopted on National Adoption Day this month!!  November 17 was the BEST day ever  (Again, I will write a whole post on this soon)

(look how happy she is here with us and the judge)

*We also had a HUGE party for Amelia's "Gotcha Day!"  We had a photo booth, and a cupcake truck and it was a perfect way to celebrate Amelia.

What a blessed month.  We definitely had some ups and downs but the Ups outweigh the downs by thousands :)

Hopefully, I can get back into the swing of blogging in the next few days.  I was planning to just close this little blog indefinitely but I received a couple of really encouraging emails and I am excited to be back.

Thank you to everyone who has stuck around through my little hiatus :)

I love you all!

Happy November

**

Well hello there November.

I can't believe how fast this year has flown by!

This is going to be a busy month full of wonderful things.

Not too mention, I have a whole bunch of lovely sponsors over there -----> 

(be sure to check them out).

This also means that Christmas is right around the corner!

I can not wait for the Holiday Season.

Usually I start busting out the decorations right after Halloween but Adam and I are in the process of clearing out a lot of our clutter to put into a storage area.

Right now our home is full of boxes!

I need to focus my attention on redecorating our living room space and the nursery right now.

This year I may actually have to be "normal" and wait until after Thanksgiving for Christmas decorations!

I am on the hunt for some LARGE art prints for our living room to go above the television. Any ideas?
