Excitement Overload

Oh my goodness!!! We are knee deep in the excitement over load portion of this year. I just had my birthday and it was one of the best ones so far. Nothing outrageous happened, it was simply perfect. For the first time in the 19 years that Keri and I have been together she decided, for some unknown reason, to let me open one of my birthday gifts the night before.

I was so excited I, literally, ran around the coffee table a couple times. We have always had this little game we play where I try to get her to give me hints as to where she bought the gifts or what the gifts might be, but she never gives in. Well, never say never. Right? She didn't just give me a hint, she let me open one. She's really good at surprises. She always finds a way to make me feel special and loved. Her gifts are always very thoughtful. I'm pretty darn lucky.

More about the excitement over load please!!! You're getting sappy. OK. OK. This weekend we are wrapping presents in anticipation of my mom and Garrison coming to visit for Christmas. For those of you that might be new to Apozitude, Garrison, is my son. He's 24 and one of the sweetest guys you'll ever meet. He's also very edgy and cool. Anyway, I am SUPER EXCITED to see them both.

Also this weekend I am going to a little Goodness's birthday party. I'll reveal what I decided to go as in another blog. In case you missed the, Princess or a Super Hero, post that is what the invitation read, "Come dressed as your favorite,...". I am really excited about that too, because I made my own outfit.

See if you can guess the party theme for a little girl turning 4. C'mon,... think! YES!!! You're right!!! It's, Frozen!!! It's going to be so much fun. I can't wait to show up in my DIY outfit. Cast away all your "Pinterest failed" thoughts floating around in your head, because I NAILED IT!!! You'll see.

See what I mean about excitement over load??? Plus, next weekend we are going to see our new puppy. He'll be 8 weeks old and most of his litter mates will be going home at 8 weeks, but our boy will stay an extra special week with his sister and Grandma Judy, because we'll be at the beach for Christmas with my mom and Garrison!!! Then the weekend after Christmas we'll go back to Grandma Judy's house and pick up our puppy.

My life, right now, is like a freakin' movie. My birthday, Goodness's birthday with dress up, visit the puppy, Mom and Garrison arrive, go to the beach, have Christmas, come back and go get the puppy. If you've watched a bunch of Disney movies, you might be waiting for a clincher plot twist at this point for dramatic affect, but I assure you the creator of this reality doesn't add a twist for dramatic affect. Nope. This gal is all about sunshine, rainbows and smiles.
