So let's play some catch-up...
*Tim and I have been back together for about a month now. Things are not exactly the same, but I'm still much happier than when we were apart.
*I have an ear piercing and a tattoo, thanks to the persuasiveness of my dear friend holly (mentioned in the "Important People" tab.) who I have grown specifically close to throughout my single-hood.
*I had my Halloween party, which was a total failure by the way, and have managed to work myself into the Christmas spirit.

So today, Tim and I cut our own Christmas tree... from my very own back yard. Yeah, there are SOME perks to living in the middle of Nowhere, Alabama. Anyways, this year we are creating our OWN decorations for the tree. Right now, I've got some pine cones, construction paper, glitter, and glue, so I'll just be sure to let the decorations come as a surprise to you all.
While we were out trimming the tree, a Christmas miracle happened. You see, since this is our first Christmas together, we've never had a proper tree topper (or even a tree for that matter, really). But while under the car pool area, I happened to look up to see an old, molded, and broken Christmas angel. The poor girl was so covered in dirt and grime, and her dress was practically falling to pieces. So I brought her inside, stripped all of those old rags off, and gave her a proper rinse. Soon after-wards, Tim was wrapping her in fabric.
The dress was eventually finished, and it was time to add some ribbons and wingdings (and her wings), so that she was finally ready to take flight. And when the moment of truth came, it was magical. She now sits atop the tree, surrounded by beautiful lights, for the world to see. Something about that slight grin she wears tells me she's happy to see another Christmas.
How's the piercing healing ? :p You know what was a pain in the ass for me when I got mine... sleeping on that side. I'm curious about your tattoo :) . I love the tree topper, and that is truly a very unique and interesting story, for years to come. Anyways, glad things are going well with you and Tim, have a wonderful December, and happy holidays!
