Happy Holidays 2013

A quick post to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
My parents are arriving in less than 48 hours and therefore I don't think I will be blogging during their stay. I will recap everyone about my holidays and hope to have a new blog up on December 28th

December 4th 2013

As everyone knows I am a huge film lover - and so is Craig. Last night (Wednesday) we saw Saving Mr. Banks - really cute movie! The synopsis is how Walt Disney contacts Emma Thompson's charcter to turn Mary Poppins into a movie. Very fun film! I am a huge lover of Disney films.
What are your favorite ones?

Splendid Sunday

Wow! We have made it to another month! I just don't think I can wrap my head around this year will be over in 30 days! What a year it has been for me - Coming to England May 2012 and actually finding work and gaining a lot of experience with various departments at Durham University. I am so proud I have been able to live abroad - and not actually go broke! Though I will admit at first it felt like a vacation to be here, but I got focused - and Craig gave me some money saving tips! Today Craig and I opened Day 1 of our advent calendars :)

Mine is the snowman - and Craig is Santa!

Today we also decorated our Christmas tree with ornaments and lights!

The rest of the day we went out to Lakeland and went shopping! At first we were just suppose to look but I bought a XMAS gift for Craig (which he saw UGH!) and he bought us a really nice toaster!
