After a trip over some of the most sporty roads I’ve ever seen, we made it safely to my in-laws’ last night. This will be the second year that I get to make memories with my husband’s side of the family. The first Christmas I spent with them, I received the two best presents I’ve ever gotten: a legitimately white Christmas and my first time ever sledding.
When I was growing up, we normally got a light dusting of snow once or twice over the winter, but the most I ever saw on Christmas was about a quarter inch. We once got three-plus inches of snow. It was the only snowman I ever made. It was far too flat to go sledding anywhere in our neck off the woods and Arkansas shuts down at the mention of any amount of snow.

I just got back home from an extended weekend around the Seattle area to visit friends (and to finally get a break from work). Aside from the cousin I visited, all of the friends I met up with are relatively recent relationships I’ve made through my husband.

For the past couple of months, I’ve either been working 10-12 hours every day, or I’ve been on vacation, or I’ve been working while on vacation. We just had a big software rollout, and I decided that I was going to come home, heat up some leftover pot roast, and spend the evening lounging about on the couch watching Longmire and snuggling the cat.

On Black Friday, instead of shopping, I spent the first half of the day playing with my cute toddler niece who calls me “Aunt Doodie.” For the second half of the day, I have planned fun stuff with several friends.

As I’ve mentioned on here before, my family loves to cook. I’m about to head back down to Arkansas for Thanksgiving with husband and cat in tow. Already my mother has a group message on Facebook, planning out the menu and it’s getting pretty elaborate. I’m going to contribute bacon and Brussels sprouts, a big chocolate cake, a couple jars of pickles that I made this summer, and a 1-lb. bag of the best caramels Montana has to offer for our glorious feast.

It’s been snowing like crazy in Montana the past couple of days. Once I saw that we’re supposed to get another foot in the forecast, I decided late last night to shovel out the driveway so I could clear off my car and go get the necessary supplies.
My conversation with my husband went something like this:

As the last of the remaining warm days dwindle here in Montana, I’ve spent several days this week working on a clawfoot dining room set that I got for free earlier this summer. I got the set because I just happened to be in the right place at the right time. At a local flea market, I was caught by a vendor admiring one of the chairs out on the loading dock. He asked if I liked the chair and I replied that I thought it would be beautiful with a little TLC. He told me there was a table with it and I said that my husband would probably shoot me if I spent a bunch of money on a fixer-upper dining set. He said if I loaded it up, it was all mine, free of charge. I jumped at the opportunity and with a little help from a few old guys, I was on the road with a pickup loaded with six dining chairs and a gorgeous hardwood clawfoot table.

My first driving lesson was with my grandpa down a dusty county road in northeast Arkansas in the middle of summer. I think I may have been 10 or 11 at the time. I had already wanted to know how to drive for years. I always claimed oldest kid privilege so I could sit in the front seat, next to Mom, as I attempted to memorize the various turns and corrections she made on the steering wheel to take us from town to our country home.
Pa had been watching my sister and I at his house that afternoon. Around lunch time, we went into town to get some baloney and white bread for sandwiches. On the way back to the house, he asked if I wanted to give driving a shot. Boy howdy did I! He got us around the curve to where no one would be watching, then got out of the pickup and told me to scoot over. I could barely touch the pedals, but I managed. He patiently instructed me on which pedal did what, and how to get it out of park, then climbed back in on the passenger side next to my sister.

When I was about 4 or 5, I started taking swimming lessons. I’ve always loved swimming and it’s one of the few athletic things I’ve actually been consistently good at, regardless of the rest of my physical health.

“Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
When you search for “the most beautiful thing in the world”, the two most common things that come up are love and nature. Searching for “beautiful” or “beauty” shows plenty of pictures and quotes about women, children, animals, love, nature, and anything else you can possibly imagine. It’s impossible to narrow down the most beautiful thing in the world because everyone has their own idea of beauty.

Just a PSA: Trying to get more information via Google on the shutdown of the free speech rally has resulted in a lot of frustration and very little information. The search term I used was “free speech rally shut down.”
On Google, I got the following first page results:
