Yeah! New layout!!!

Nothing like a face lift! I was going for a fawn sorta look for winter...I think I will keep it for a while! Jake and I have our Hawaii pictures back from earlier this month...it was awesome!!! I am glad to be back though! I really do love winter! Now that the halloween hurdle is over, I am all ready in Christmas mode...yes I am a christmas whore...and proud of it!!!! I have good excuses though, really...Jake's birthday is on christmas...so it is an extra special occasion! I don't think that he had much of a fuss made over his birthday when he was little...so I think I just try to make up for that every chance I get! So far we are going to try and throw him a HUGE surprise party for when he gets back from Twin...I can't make up my mind what to get him though...He really wants a laptop...but I am so broke...I don't know....On another note...I have been trying to get a pen pal...I really love getting mail...and i love learning about foreign cultures! We will see how that all goes down....Amanda and Justin are supposed to come home for Christmas...that will be a ton of fun! I still have to get everything in order for school next semester...oh boy I have a lot to do! I better get back to cleaning and mucking about....
