"May the Odds Ever Be In Your Favor"

Today is the DAY!!!

Soccergirl and I have been counting down the days since November!  The story goes, I promised as her birthday present, that I would read the whole trilogy and go to the midnight premiere together.  

Little did I know just how much I'd like the books.  I read them for the first time over winter break and I loved them!  Right after I finished the first book I started drooling over the movie trailers, I was hooked.  

I literally just watched the trailer again and my hands are red from clapping so hard (I clap when I'm excited/happy)  

In just a few hours I'll be enjoying some popcorn with sour patch kids (we all know it's the best combination known to man) with my Sis watching THE HUNGER GAMES!

LEAP

Tonight my Sis and I will be watching Leap Year with Amy Adams and stuffing our faces with our Target $1.00 snacks (score!)  

I know it's been a little quite over here, but several blog posts are in the making so it won't be quite for long!

Tomorrow is Christmas

Today's Christmas Eve!!  Hard to believe it's here already, seems like just yesterday I was standing in line on Black Friday outside of Target.  

This season I'm trying not to get caught up in the hustle and bustle, instead focus on my family and create new memories along the way.  Sometimes they may drive me a little stir crazy, but then I remember this too will be just a distant memory soon. 

Next year I could be away at a University instead of studying local, not able to fully live life with them day in and out.  The little moments when Fairygirl tells me she doesn't want me to ever get married, but be her big sister forever.

Whispered conversations with Soccergirl about boys at midnight, wouldn't be possible through Skype.

And morning belly laughs with Littleman can't happen away at College.

The time will come when I will go away to College, but not now.  Instead I'm going to soak up every moment I can, including Christmas Eve; tonight when we dawn our new Christmas pajamas, my heart may ache but at the same time, thankful for extra time spent together.
