Happy Monday! Can you even believe that it’s December?! It feels like this last week has been wholly normal and it’s been amazing! If you leave out traveling for the holidays, finishing up the semester, and a winter conference with Cru….we’ve entered our season of rest. Okay, I’ll admit, we’re ALMOST to our season of rest. But this is still less than we’ve had on our plates for months, so I’m a happy camper :]

This week was all about getting in the Christmas spirit and celebrating life! We spent time decorating our little house for Christmas and it just always puts me in a cozy mood. Like right now, sitting in front of the Christmas tree and working is infinitely better than not sitting in front of the Christmas tree. I mean that’s pretty much a given…but you know what I mean. Also, having lots of leftover goodies from this weekend is making this pregnant lady really happy. Lots of cookies from my mother-in-law and home cooked food and a baby shower cupcake that’s calling my name. It also might be why this blog post is coming a little slower than usual.

And speaking of…yes! I had my first baby shower yesterday and it was so overwhelming! In a great way! I felt super loved and cared for and even provided for with all of the sweet gifts that people gave. I just can’t explain. It was wonderful. And if you add in the bonus of my sister coming over afterwards and organizing all of the gifts…it’s just a win-win-win.

Time for feels:

• You know how when someone talks about being itchy and then you get itchy…like when you’re watching the Office and everyone is vigorously head scratching because they have lice…and then you start feeling like you need to scratch your head too… Okay…just me? Ugh.
• The best thing to eat is always going to be dips…buffalo chicken dip, spinach artichoke dip…anything that you can dip celery and carrots and bread and crackers in. Maybe I’m just having a hungry day, but this feels like the truest thing.
• I had my final editing marathon last week! And it was hours and hours long, but so worth it. And the mug full of ice cream before and after I started editing only added to that fact.
• Ollie’s nursery is coming together :] yes, it’s super small, but it’s going to be full of cute and hopefully organizational goodies  and I think nesting is real because all I want to do is make it happen.
• The KJ Consistency Course officially started last week and I am LOVING it. Any other photogs out there, learning so many things? I am so excited to be jump starting the off season with lots of knowledge. And BONUS, David and I are both going to Justin and Mary’s: The Event!

Sharing some thoughts from our babymoon and some self portraits on the blog tomorrow!
