december!

although its not quite as cold as i would like, winter is definitely here and i'm loving it! i've already got all of my presents bought for friends and family, and that is NOT something typical of me.  i feel pretty proud of myself.  also, i get a short week at work because on wednesday, taylor and i are going to north carolina to visit his mom and dad! his brother philip is gonna stop by too, and i'm so excited to get to do this with taylor again.  he hasn't seen his parents since the last trip (christmas also.) 

ok so NO, me and taylor are not engaged (yet :P).  I have a good friend that agreed to give us a freebie photo shoot bc i cut her hair.  and she did a magnificent job...mag-ni-fi-cent.  here's just a few.  for the rest, check fb.

haha so some were pretty goofy.  but my dearest beth got some keepers as well.  i love them all.  thanks again! i'm probably gonna make one into a christmas card for the fam.

on another note, taylor and i have been leisurely walking around a few jewelry stores :D!! he has a good idea of what i like now and we got my finger sized and he told me we can't talk about rings anymore.  guess he wants it to be unexpected, and that's ok with me!

other things to look forward to:
seeing my family over the holidays!
presents! hehe.  but i mean giving AND getting, because i found some awesome stuff for my loved ones :)
a nice long break from work
maaaaybe a skiing trip?
on the 9th, it will be 1 1/2 years with taylor

till then...
