Where is the year going?

 

It seems that most of my posts (haha rhyme) lately have been about how time is flying by but really it is. I was looking at the calender today and realized that soon it will be November. We only have 12 more days left in October and as busy as things are those are just going to shwoop by us in a puff.
I know of quite a few people who get agitated to see Christmas decorations and gifts in the stores already. They're line is "there are two more holidays before Christmas!" I used to be one of them. Until I discovered that it's easier for me to shop and wrap and do all those extra holiday things well before December. Most people haven't even concidered holiday shopping yet and I'm pushing to finish mine. I'm not saying that's the better way to do it, that's just how I am. I want to enjoy my Christmas holiday. I want to bake and decorate, and look at lights. I want to window shop at the stores and hear carolers. What I don't like to do is press my luck to find a gift for a person at the last minute and then stress out only to settle on a generic thing because I couldn't find, or couldn't afford something better. We have a few traditions growing in our household. I like the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season, but not the stress. And don't get me wrong. There are a few things I can't do until December rolls around!
I still greatly enjoy the coming holidays of Halloween and Thanksgiving though. Just because I'm getting stuff ready for Christmas doesn't mean that I've forgotton to set out a few pumpkin decorations and buy candy. :0)
Sorry to go on a tangent. Back to my original point. Where is this year going? I'm going to be 27 in a little over a month. I've almost been married for 4 years. (4 amazing years!) I'm happy with the way things are going I just wish there was more time in the day to enjoy those things more. Does anyone else feel this way? How do we change things to make the good moments last longer?
