vacation - day one

Posted by keli | 0 comments

happy winter vacation! 
the bf and i decided we should take 
the last week in december off from work....
and boy was that the best decision in the world! 

since winter attempted to ruin christmas--
we spent christmas eve and day with his families and 
then headed to chucktown 
to spend the weekend thru monday with mine.
last night was OUR christmas together in omaha,
and really... i would have it no other way.

thus, today is the first day of vacation.
i've started it out right with this little baby:
(image taken by me, in bed, with my mac and coffee)
i love my new cup bf found me. 
it's made out of recycled materials,
and i can take it to coffee shops!
merry christmas, planet.

i'm really pumped to take some sweet photos
with my TWO new cameras.
i got a lovely canon from my parents,
and the holga i've been lusting over from bf!
sometime this week we are going on a romantic
carriage ride around dtown omaha, and i'm
sure to get a TON of twinkle light photos!

in all seriousness, i don't know what i did 
that was so good to be so blessed this year. 
i'm talking from december to december.
i got a promotion at work doing
something that i actually do enjoy.
my dad's health was a bit rocky,
but somehow he is doing a bit better.
my mom continues to be a great 
listener, and always has something sweet to say. 
emma the pup is so fun and cuddly. 
i have a wonderful bf who has 
an equally wonderful family.
2009 was wonderful. 

i'm off to play with my holga. 
happy day one.

Ah! It's almost Christmas! I can't decide if my insomnia last night was due to being all jacked up on peppermint mocha and christmas cookies, my excitement to open presents, or just my withdrawl from nyquil (knock on wood, i'm feeling good!).


We had our 10 Week Awards on Saturday,
and even though nobody from my team won...
The 1k winner looked fantastic.

The BF and I had a fun time taking photos in the booth...
(which totally gave us a discount - after I put the first two dollars in, it started shooting!)

...before going to Stella's where I got my
Carmel Shake poured on my head!
I really hope Santa has two cameras listed in
his big book for me this year!
(I watched Elf last night)
A Diana or Holga AND a new point and shoot!

Oh, how I love Christmas.

Since the BF and I live in two different cities, of course we need TWO different trees!
Here are some craptastic text photos of our Christmas Trees...


My Des Moines Mini Tree with Antique Glass Ornaments



BF's Omaha Tree decorated by yours truly



I wrapped all of those gifts this weekend, and there's still a few more to go. BF accused me of using all of the pretty ribbons on my family's gifts. But, I would like it to be known that I put my very favorite on his niece's gift (it's that huge green bow on the right hand side).

I've been thinking about Christmas growing up. It has always been such a magical time of year with twinkle lights, pretty trees, snow, family visiting, and ... presents. It has always been so difficult for me to write a Christmas List, and the reason is because there's really nothing that I want more than to sit in front of the fire and Christmas tree eating a yummy cookie and just spending time with the people that I love. Don't get me wrong, I'd probably cry if everyone returned my gifts and gave me coupons for quality time together... But, really... that's what Christmas is all about. Spending time with one another, remembering the reason for the season, and being thankful for all we have been through during the year.

As much as I want a Holga, new digi cam, and bum warmer for my Car... The health and happiness of all those I care about is far more important that ripping open the shiny paper on one of those bad boys.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Feliz Navidad. :)
