Lastly, holiday cards started arriving in the mail this week from our friends and family! These make me so happy and I love displaying them on the Christmas tree. Here’s a cute one from Jess and Erick! Miss you guys! <3

Favorite New Friend
Our friends Jojo and Jadd are watching Jack for us this weekend while we’re in New York, so earlier this evening we dropped him off at their house. They recently adopted an adorable pup named Tilly, and Jack and Tilly were instant BFFs. Yay! I’m so happy to know he’ll be in good hands while we’re gone.
On Sunday morning, Fabio and I dropped Tully back off at Megan and JR’s house before running some errands. We hit up Home Depot for some spricket and mouse traps (we got catch and release traps for the mouse since I don’t want it to die! Poor mouse. Even though it totally creeps me out.) and then we went to the grocery store for our haul for the week.
folding laundry before we headed up to the second bedroom to get ready for painting! We wanted to wait to paint the rest of the second bedroom until we had all the baseball stuff out of there since previously it was hanging out against two of the three walls in there.
We wound up getting everything taped off which took quite a while since there’s a lot of little intricate wood pieces around the loft, closet, and window in there.
After that, we drove into Potomac to watch my sister’s lacrosse game! She played in the goalie position and even though she hates that position, she’s really good!

After the game we joined my dad, stepmom, and sister for an early dinner at a nearby pizza place called Naples, and I started off with a tasty glass of sangria.

We all shared a giant pepperoni pizza for dinner, but I wound up just eating two smallish slices since I was feeling a little pizza-ed out.

When we got home we watched the rest of the Giants game (Fabio is a big Giants fan) and then we headed up to paint! We were able to get the rest of the room painted by around 9:00, which wasn’t bad at all.
IMG_5634I know I am. Tomorrow evening (it’s Thursday night as I’m typing this), I’ll be list to data hopping on a bus to NYC with Fabio and our friends, Megan and JR! Like last year and the year before, we wanted to plan a weekend trip up to the Big Apple to celebrate the holidays with some of our very best friends.
This year I’ll be spending time with my best friends from high school (Bianca, Hana, and Sam) as we as my best friends from college (known as Sloppytown or The Gurlays). I can’t wait for us all to be reunited again!
