The Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

Okay, so normally I am completely against putting up any sort of Christmas decoration before Thanksgiving.  However, this year, I did it.  I put Walker's tree up last night.  I know, I know......  but let me explain!

So this year we are so excited to be on the Walhalla Historic Tour of Homes for Christmas (well, I'm THRILLED!!!  Nate, he's cool with it).  It's the 2nd week of December and quickly approaching!  This weekend, Nathan's parents are coming up to help build Walker's new playground/swing set, the next weekend is Thanksgiving/USC game, the next weekend is Walker's birthday party (at our house), and the next weekend is the tour!  I just got a little stressed out typing that...  I need to go decorate!

In shock...

So, pretty much anyone that looks at this site knows me.  But, just in case someone out there actually follows this blog and doesn't see me at least once a week...

I have some big news!  Back in late July/early August, I decided to run for city council.  It is something I have thought about for quite some time, but didn't really think I had the courage to do.  One day, I guess the moon was full,  I decided I should do it.  Many times throughout the last few months I thought I must be crazy.  But lo and behold, this past Tuesday, I was elected to the Walhalla City Council! 

I can't begin to tell you how excited, nervous, shocked, honored (name it, I'm feeling it) I am!  I really do have a vision for our sleepy little town and with the rest of the dynamic council elected, and our new mayor, I really think the next few years are going to be an exciting time for our town! 

But seriously, I'm still in shock!
