Playing Catch-Up

Hello, sweet readers. I have been a terrible writer as of the past few months and I apologize for that. Life has flown by once again - in only a couple of days, it will be December. Yesterday, Matt and I celebrated Thanksgiving, which was a fun but very hectic day. We started off having lunch with his parents in the early afternoon, then drove out to my great-grandmother's house, which is always a wonderful time because I absolutely adore my great-grandparents (they're both pushing 100 and are as sharp as tacks!) After we visited with that side of my family, we went over to my other grandmother's house and (yes, once again) ate there. Matt and I were both absolutely exhausted when we got home, and fell asleep together early. Matt has worked about 17 hours in the past 24, and I'm sick in bed with a stomach bug. Yuck. 

I figured that this would be the best time to write.

Matt has a try-out for a professional soccer team coming up next weekend. We are both excited and hopeful. He's been training hard and I'm so proud of his ambition. 
I have a million and one ideas floating around my head about designs, possibilities about going back to school, and the draft of a novel I've started writing. This is the beginning of the rest of our lives, and I can feel it. I wouldn't want anyone but my Matt by my side. He is so supportive of everything I do.
I'm sure you've heard about what's happening in Ferguson, Missouri. The whole world has, it seems. There have been peaceful protests in my city, which may make some nervous but it actually inspires me. It's been a long time since people have come together as one and taken action to stand up for what they believe in. Speaking of, there is a film coming out next year called Selma which looks absolutely excellent. It stars David Oyelowo as Martin Luther King, and was directed in part by Oprah Winfrey and Brad Pitt. I'll leave the trailer here in case you'd like to see it for yourself.



I hope everyone is doing well and had a lovely holiday (if you're American, of course... if not, I hope you had a happy Thursday. Hehe). You'll hear from me sooner than later. XO
