Vroom Vroom

So, Stephen was quite the sneak this year for Christmas. He surprised me with a brand new car!! I am officially in LOVE! We had been looking at cars because we knew we needed something bigger for baby, but I was not expecting this at all! Stephen wanted to have it delivered to our house with the big red bow and all, but we decided to go pick it up together and boy am I glad that we did. There are so many little gadgets, that the salesmen spent over an hour just showing them all to me.

Thank you hunny for the best Christmas gift EVER!!!

Has anyone seen my motivation?

I don't know what it is this year, but I am not motivated at all!!! Christmas is one week away and I just bought my first gifts today. I love the holidays and it's not that I am not looking forward to them, I just don't want to go out and deal with people. By the time I get off work I am perfectly content sitting on the couch and doing nothing for the rest of the night.
I need to find my motivation soon! I have 2 weeks off of work and I need to get everything ready for Christmas and hopefully do some painting and other work in the nursery. If you find my motivation will you please let me know!!
Thanks <3
