it's beginning to look a lot like christmas....

my husband and his mad photography skills took this photo of our tiny little tree. it's a cute one this year - a noble fir from the optimist club place on guadalupe and san gabriel. we put it up on a table this year, which is really nice because it has more of a presence and the pets can't drink water out of the base....there has been so much going on as of late, i feel like it just needs to be listed, in no particular order:

- longhorns are going to the national championship game, despite sucking it up against nebraska

- saints are still undefeated because drew brees is the awesomest qb ever

- i am almost done (8 more days) with my second-to-last semester of grad school

- jb and i have decided to stay in austin, despite a really cool job opportunity in sf - it was really hard, but definitely the right choice

- it fake-snowed in austin on friday, which left none of the white stuff, but tons of dead plants

i guess that's all for now....check out this story if you have a few minutes - crazy and super inspiring.
