Choosing happiness

I've decided to ignore the fact that I'm in the middle of finals and focus on the happy things going on...

I recently found a wonderful thing on the internet. I have been searching for years for one of my favorite movies. It is an old version of Snow White that was made for TV and, in case you had no idea, there are about 50 different versions of Snow White. However, I finally found what I've been looking for on Amazon.com. I bought the DVD and had it delivered, all for the low, low price of $5.19! I was so ecstatic! I have never seen the movie without tracking issues and fuzziness. It is wonderful and I will enjoy it for many years to come!

Another bit of good news, better than the first, is Sky and I are trying for a baby! We've been trying for about 2 1/2 months and hope it will happen soon so we can have a baby next fall. We are very excited and I know Sky will be a great dad.

On a related note, I recently found out that my oldest brother's wife, Holly, is pregnant with their first child. She is due June 4th and I am so excited to be an aunt again.

We've decorated our apartment recently. We bought a Santa sign for our front door and lights for our balcony. We also decorated our Christmas tree and set up our three different Nativity scenes. I assembled and decorated a gingerbread house and we bought an advent calendar. It's so pretty and really festive.

I am really looking forward to going back to MD next Monday. We get in really late at night. :-( The next day, my mother-in-law, Christine, has made appointments for us to get our hair and nails done! I am so excited to get my hair highlighted, I've never done it before. Christmas is going to be nice, too. I'll be at home with Sky, my mom, dad, grandmother, brothers Wyatt and Shaun and sister Kimberly. The only thing I'm not looking forward to is the humidity. It is very snowy here in UT but it is still dry. I love it!
