What are you looking forward to?

I will be honest, I was slightly concerned that after the wedding I would not have anything else to look forward to. The biggest day of my life would have already passed...so what would be left after that? Well...the answer is LOTS of things! Life is not just about one day, or one event, so of course there is more to look forward to. I am happily awaiting soon experiencing these things with my hubs:

1. Thanksgiving in IN. I am excited about the fall colors and the crisp air. We do not have Thanksgiving plans yet, but whatever they are it will be delicious I am sure. AND The Mr. will not be exhausted from driving 16 hours straight like last year!

2. CHRISTMAS! I LOVE Christmas; the food, the smells, the decorations, the crazy people shopping, the candles...everything. I cannot wait to decorate our little apartment and make it as jolly as possible. Plus this is a special Christmas, our first Christmas as a married couple :)

3. Seeing my family in Florida. The Mr. and I are traveling down to FL for Christmas and of course I am excited to see everyone again. I am so glad that I will be there for all the Christmas traditions like, Aunt E's Christmas Eve party and Christmas morning at Gram's. Christmas is important to me, and I love the time spent with family!

4. While I am NOT looking forward to digging my car out of the snow, or anything similar to that; I am looking forward to seeing snow fall. I have seen snow falling twice, but nothing that left everything white. In my mind I am going to go to sleep and then wake up to a winter wonderland one morning, just like in the movies. I realize it probably will not happen like that, but until then...let me dream!

5. I am looking forward to furnishing our spare bedroom. Right now, the only thing it is a desk, a dresser and a bookshelf. I am hoping to get a nice bed so we can have guests stay over! (hint, hint Florida family and friends)

I am such a planner that I could sit here for hours and list things that I am excited about and/or looking forward to. Life is so much more than one day, or one event! Leave a comment and tell me what you are looking forward to!
