red and gold

Life has been a bit crazy for the month of December. The fall semester has ended and I am more than ready for the next several weeks of zero school work. I have completed all of my Christmas shopping in record time and I am feeling incredibly blessed to have such loving friends and family. I can't remember the last time I got to see so much of my family at the annual Lafond Christmas party. I have also sent and received a record number of personal Christmas cards. Oh, I just adore the Holidays!

 To be quite honest, I still can't even believe it's December. Where did the time go? Luckily all of my attention that was once solely focused on my hectic schedule has finally shifted to my dear friends and family - the people who deserve it the most.

Just in time for Christmas.

The past few weeks:
