The Art of Marriage

I hope that everyone had an amazing Christmas..I know I did! I love Christmas. It's my favorite time of year. Darren says that I'm a Christmas freak. I watch Christmas movies, bake cookies and all kinds of candy, listen to Christmas music, and believe that the Christmas season extends until New Years. Sorry buddy, you better get used to it...you're stuck with me (however, my mom said that I will have to come do a lot of the baking/movie watching with her, so Darren, you may be off the hook).

The best part about Christmas, though, is spending time with my amazing family. We're crazy, but I love it. This year, Adam and Suni bought me and Darren our first decoration for our home and our first ornaments for our tree that we will have together next year. All three gifts are so special to me, and I will always remember that I got them from my big brother and sister. I love you guys..thanks for being such a great example for me and Darren of what a loving marriage truly is. (Thanks to Leah and Steve, too. You guys are also great!)

I love love love this. So sweet. Already thinking about where I will hang it.

My mom teared up when she realized my last name will no longer be Savage.

Suni said she likes to get ornaments representing what happened that year, so Darren and I can now start doing the same!

Susie Homemaker.......or not

So, my sister has always told me that some day when I have a house I will love to shop at Kirklands, Hobby Lobby, and the like. I would get so bored in those stores while she and my mom could shop all day. Well let me tell ya dear sister, that time has still not come for me. In less than 6 months I will have my very own home, but I could care less about dishes and throws and mirrors and candlesticks. Maybe that's selfish of me..I'm not sure. My favorite stores still continue to be J Crew, Banana Republic, and Lucca. I'd rather have purses than furniture. Don't worry future husband, I'm sure the time will come very soon where I will want to beautify our home....I hope (otherwise we'll be using paper plates while sitting on the floor). Until then, this is what my Christmas list consists of:

I'm in love with this bag....hint hint.... *cough*Darren*cough*

 Merry Christmas to all!! I hope everyone has a blessed holiday with the ones they love.
