So tonight Richard and I took some pics, most of which turned out kinda icky but there are a few decent ones:) We took the pictures to put in our Christmas cards that we'll send to everyone.
Ok....so if you have not had the opportunity to watch Wreck it Ralph...you need to!!!! It is now one of our favorite movies. It has so much cute humor in it, plus a nice feel good story line. They have a "bad guys" group where they have meetings weekly to discuss their frustrations on being the bad guys. They all say a chant(if that's what you call it??) which is: "I'm Bad, and that's good, I will never be good and that's not bad, there's no one I'd rather be...than me". I love that. It says/means a lot in my opinion. Ralph is not bad...he's just the "bad guy" in his video game. He's got a good heart and a good soul. So... you are probably wondering why I'm posting about this right? I have really been trying hard lately to not just assume someone is what I think they are just by looking at them...you know the whole don't judge a book by it's cover kind of thing. It's working...
I sure wish that I was better at this...but here I am 6 months later...oops! Well it was a super busy summer. We put off doing any renos in our house and did outside renos. Our project this year was taking down our old fence, and putting up a new one. We unfortunately didn't get everything else done that we needed to. I'm sure we could have gotten the other projects done if money (which seems to ALWAYS be the problem right??!) hadn't have been in our way! But oh well..I'm thankful that we got as far as we did. This past week the weather started to get super cold, so I think that we're outta luck for finishing up anything else for outside this year. I am really excited.....because this is my favorite time of the year. Richard and I make our Halloween Costumes every year(at least this is the 4th year) and it's been so much fun. This year we're dressing up as Mario and Princess Peach. It's going to be great. So we've got that...
So, this year besides trying to be smart with money, we're trying to focus more on the true meaning of Christmas. I absolutely love the above picture, because I think it tells us that we need to remember how and why Christmas even exists. We're only buying presents this year for our parents, because things get just too expensive. But we're really trying to focus on the giving part of Christmas, rather than the receiving, so we've decided to spend the money that we would spend on Christmas presents for each other, on a family that's in need. I'm actually really excited about doing this, I think it'll really help us get into the Christmas spirit, and it'll feel so great knowing that we are serving a family in need.
