sk8er vibes

Finals? What finals? Stoked because dead week means sleeping in and having fun! Jokes. (Not about the sleeping in part though). But because the sun is still shining we have to make the most of it. One morning we hit the streets for a sick shred sesh instead of hitting the books. But I'm not fooling anyone #poser. I'm definitely not a skater; obvious from my childhood of violin lessons and pretend fashion shows. And I'm pretty sure I had training wheels on my bike until I was 11... But you're not hardcore unless you live hardcore. So I went longboarding with my sk8er boi. It was chill bro.

My nonexistent skating abilities were made up for by Sam pulling me. None the less, mad props to me for shredding with the locals.

december

I love December because it means

The end of semesters:

Hallelujah! Sam will be finished with his first semester of law school in 3 weeks. We are literally counting down the days!

Winter:
A San Diego December isn't exactly "winter" because it's not snowing and freezing but slightly overcast is a perfect winter for me. I can't seem to talk enough about the weather can I? (But seriously, it was 90 degrees on Thanksgiving. Absurd!) 

Christmas:
December 2014 also means Sam and Erin's first Christmas. Yay!
Being our first, I realized how unprepared we were for this festive holiday. And no dental hygiene license means no job, which means no money but hey, at least I have LOADS of free time. I suddenly went into major craft mode. (What? That has never happened. I am the most unartistic person.)  First I made a garland. Next Christmas stockings, with my mom's help of course. Then things got really carried away and the next thing I knew, I was making ornaments too!

Now that we had all the fixings, the final ingredient for Christmas was a tree. There's no better place than Christmas Tree Country to find a little tree. (It's the same place we got our pumpkins which you can read about HERE ) 

On our way home with Norman (that's his name)

Our first Christmas is already starting to be better than I imagined. See for yourself: 

And this is why I love Sam. Yes he is wearing the stockings I made.
