The countdown is on!

I promise I have great intentions to keep this little journal of mine going. As of right now I have a few countdowns that I just have to get out!

ONE day until my sistah and I go see New Moon. Yes, I am mildly obsessed with the Twilight series. And yes, I am Team Edward 150%. ::swoons::

TWO days until it's time to head to the beach with all of the Raynor's! I cannot wait to pack up the car and spend some time with my family, walk on the beach, watch Miss Lou swim in her favorite "pool", and just relax. Me? Relax? I do I really need that? Yes, I do. There is just something about a vacation that just clears your mind and gives you a fresh new outlook on everything going on in your life. I could go for some of that right now. I've got two very long books packed and have every intention of finishing them while listening to the waves crash behind me.

SIX days until we head to Bryan and Amy's for a Rudy Thanksgiving. There is going to be quite the crowd! I've never had a Thanksgiving when I wasn't with my parents and sister so it's going to be a bit of an adjustment. But I am so excited to spend the day with Andrew's family. I love the holiday season, the smells, the food, the music, the weather, but most importantly the family. Speaking of family ... looks like Baby Boy Rudy is on his way ... congratulations Bryan, Amy, and Chase! We are beyond thrilled to be an aunt and uncle again to our newest nephew on the way.

Okay ... time to light my fall candle, get to packing, and start baking some pumpkin bread for the beach!

I will be blogging while at the beach and lots of photos will be posted too.

Much love and happiness to you and yours during this holiday season.
