Excited for the Holidays!!!

As the weather gets colder and the seasons start to change, I find myself getting truly excited for the holidays for the first time in a very long time.  My outlook on life has changed so much that I am able to see the good in everything and not let the negative drag me down.  Life feels nostalgic and so many good memories are flowing!  As the leaves began to change, I started to remember all of the wonderful times I had in college and how great of an experience it was for me.  The weather also reminded me of how beautiful my wedding was in the park and how much fun Bryan and I have had over the years taking pictures there.  The leaves have turned beautiful and are falling off the trees, making way for a delightful revival in the spring.  I took Bryce there to play the other day and he had so much fun crunching the leaves, sitting on leaf piles, and being covered in them.  I love that I can share a place that has had such meaning to me with him and watch him enjoy it as much as I have.

As we go shopping this time of year, Christmas lights & decorations are slowly appearing everywhere.  Bryce loves them!  He is fascinated by all of this, which why we are going have an amazing Christmas light display this year!  I can't wait to take him around to see everything and watch his reactions.  We will have so much fun at Christmas and throughout the winter.  He will truly understand what it is to play in the snow, to make a snowman, and to go sledding.  I'm getting excited just talking about it!  I've also found myself wanting to go Christmas shopping, which if you know me, is a huge deal for me.  I've hated Christmas shopping for as long as I can remember, but I guess I just really want to share my joy with others this year.  I have found myself again and it has truly changed me!  I feel like once again I am that fun-loving person who just radiates positivity.  I am becoming the person I've always wanted to be.  It is truly exciting!
