Ikea, Christmas Party, Hanukkah, and Snow! Take 2.

Yesterday was  a fun day for many of reasons one was that I was asleep until 12:30pm.  Sleeping is one pf my most charished activities.  I love to sleep in my big comfy round bed and snuggle under my covers.  It is just wonderful fun.   After dragging myself out of bed I found out my loving Husband wanted to take us to Ikea with his Mother and Sister.  I was cool with that, I have been wanting to go back to Ikea for our kitchen table.  But like all things with my In-laws it is alsways later not sooner.  We got to pick them up around 2:30, then we had to make the 45 minute drive down there and eat.  We didn't start looking around until after 4:00 and we had to leave by 5:00 if we were going to make it to CJ's Party somewhat one time.... I still hadn't showered and that is a must before a party.  After pushing the In-law's through the store We made it back to the car around 5:5, not to bad for them.  However the drive back was much longer then the previous 45 minutes because we decided to take the back roads in lou of the crowded interstate.  It wasn't any faster. After dropping off the in-laws we headed back to our Shoe box to get ready.  I took the worlds fastest shower and did a lovely job on my make-up (if I do say myself), but we were now running a hour behind.  

After a lovely 45 minute drive up to Lowell we arrived at the Beautiful home of CJ and JC.  They have a lovely home and I use the word Home instead of house because it was very warm and welcoming to everyone.  I was able to steal CJ away to talk with her and play with her cute puppy.... She's lucky I didn't steal the puppy.  I just wanted to take her home she was so cute!  After realizing I has stolen CJ from her party for nearly an hour I allowed her back down to be a good Host.  JC did a great job keeping Troy entertained and I was able to try some home made Apple Cider... I think it was Cider maybe she called it something else.  There was great conversation and I loved every minute of it.  CJ and I were very excited that our Guys hit it off so well and even said they would like to double sometime.  Maybe you'll hear about that another day.  ;)    

Unfortunately we had to leave earlier then I would have wanted because we had another Party to go to over at the Loft with 'Wismen' a good friend from our dating days.  (He was in our wedding party.)   That was another 40 minute drive over to Boston and that was fun... A different kind of fun for us, we mostly talked with the guys as they all had various drinks, and played a little pool.  Once it started snowing around 1:00am we decided we better head for home.  It was good we left when we did because the drive was far worse toward the end.  We ended up with 15 inches buy the time morning came.  We did make it home safely and we are grateful for that.

All in all it was a very wonderful day full of friends and love.
