Right now I sit on a gorgeous spindly legged sofa in a gorgeous suite in downtown Salt Lake City where my amazing husband whisked me away to for the night!  And now I&#8217;ve been given some free relaxation computer time!  I&#8217;m so content and happy right now!  <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s been such a nice day.   I have had so many sweet emails and ecards and phone calls with wishes of Happy Birthday from all my friends and family!  I did have to work, but it wasn&#8217;t too bad.  I even got off a couple hours early, which allowed me to get a few things checked off my ever-growing Christmas to do list.  Then we headed out and had the yummiest dinner at Johnny Carinos!  It was DELICIOUS!!!!  I love that place.  I think I could eat there every night.  It&#8217;s probably a good thing its not very close to where we live!  Then we came here, to the hotel!  It&#8217;s GORGEOUS.  I wish I had the cable for my camera so I could upload a picture.  <\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know what fun things Josh has up his sleeve for tomorrow, but I do a lot of what we are doing tomorrow will be Christmas shopping.  We still have a lot to do!<\/p>\n<p>Well, let&#8217;s see . . . OH YES.  <a href=\"http:\/\/scrapmatters.com\">ScrapMatters<\/a> is having a template challenge!

We went to cheer on my little brother Cameron! <\/p>\n<p>This week we finally got a Christmas tree.  I LOVE to have a real tree!  It actually didn&#8217;t take long to find the perfect one!  We strapped it to the top of the car and hauled it home!  <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;\" src=\"https:\/\/brittishdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/12\/IMG_6199.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5144069945538745266\" \/><br \/>When we got it home, we decided to rearrange the entire living room in order to give the tree a REALLY good spot!  Plus, it was just time for a change.  AND with the new set up, I get my own little office space area.  It&#8217;s just more of a &#8220;work-space&#8221; feel now.  I LOVE it!  <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;\" src=\"https:\/\/brittishdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/12\/IMG_6205.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5144071423007495106\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As soon as the tree is all finished and pretty, I&#8217;ll definitely post photos!  <\/p>\n<p>Well, I guess that is all.  I think I&#8217;ll join my hubby for some TV veggin&#8217; out.  See ya!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;\" src=\"https:\/\/brittishdesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/12\/BlogSignaturesmall-10.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5136120997058580338\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes, today is my 27th birthday!
