Christmas List

Jamie has been bugging me about what I want for Christmas.  Honestly, I can't think of anything I really want for Christmas, but thought it would be fun to put a wish list of thing I would LOVE to have!  Here you go...

1. A new laptop bag.  I take my laptop to work everyday and edit during my lunch break.  Here is what I would love to have for my laptop 

Laptop protector (Carrying Case Sleeve by K-Cliffs)

Laptop bag! ( Allie Laptop Tote Bag by Rainebrooke™)

 2. A new camera bag.  (Kelly Moore Classic Bag in Rich Fuchsia) I am in LOVE with this bag, but its expensive and right now I just can't see paying that much for a camera bag!  It is beautiful!!!

3. New Uggs.  I have had the same pair of Uggs for 6 years and its time for a new pair.  Here is the pair I would get if I got to choose.

4. I know this is very realistic,  but I gave Jamie this pictures and told him that I was asking Santa for this... 

I want a house like this that I can decorate for Christmas!  To me, this is a dream house.  I big RED front door, white fence in the front year...its just beautiful!  I know it wont happen, but its a picture I can keep for the future!

5. Unless you know me, you may not know how much I have changed in the last year.  This was me a year ago...

and this was me June 2010

In June I decided to start a new lifestyle.  At that point I weighed 169.  This is me 6 weeks after I started my new lifestyle at Randi's birthday.

Here is me two weeks later at Disney

This is me on Nov 6th at the Clemson game. 

As of this morning I weigh 140!  Since June 28th I have lost 29 lbs and I am not done! So....I think a nice shopping spree to

Would be an fantastic Christmas gift! 

6. Last but not least and if I could only receive one gift this year, it would be for Jamie to get a job.  Please don't think I am upset about him being unemployed for almost 2 years.  I love him more today than I did two years ago when he lost his job.  God has given Jamie one of the most precious gifts in the world by allowing him to raise Randi.  Since I was little all I ever wanted was to be was a stay at home mom that did craft projects, baked goodies for the kids to decorate and work on my photography.  God didn't have the same plan I did and I trust that their is a reason for this. 

I worry everyday about providing for my family.  I worry that something will happen and I will not be able to pay the bills.  I worry that Jamie will never find a job and will only work freelance a couple times a month.  I worry that I will always have to work two jobs so that I can give my family what they need and want.  I worry everyday and I will miss Randi's childhood because I am so busy working. 

Like I have said, I am not upset with my husband for losing his job or because he hasn't been able to find one for two years.  I am very thankful that he has been able to be with Randi.  He has done a wonderful job with her and I love him more today than yesterday.  He stole my heart 10 years ago and I hope he never wants it back!

Its was so much fun to make this WISH list, but Jamie and I decided not to get each other anything for Christmas.  We are just going to let Randi give us a little something and I already know I am getting.  She  told me last night.  I can't wait to get it!!!
