BOXWOOD TERRACE: December 2013

I'm usually reserved and don't share much about myself here, but I wanted to share the happy news that Jon and I are getting married. This is the happiest time in my life and I feel so fortunate to be marrying such a wonderful man. I never thought during many years (actually many, many, many years) of being single that I would meet a man that is as good, kind and thoughtful as Jon is.

We've been dating for six years, became engaged over Thanksgiving and have decided to marry this New Year's Eve. The response from everyone has been "this New Year's Eve?", but we are eager and excited to start our life together and what better way to end the year and start the new one than with a wedding. We are not having a wedding per se, but instead a small private ceremony. As much as I enjoy weddings, the thought of planning one right now is daunting.

Jon is selling his condominium and we will live in my small house until we figure out our next move. This will mean blending his furniture with mine, choosing new furnishings together and making the most of the limited closet space in my house. We're converting an unused room into a home office and I already have a dramatic paint color in mind for the room. We have a few other home improvements we're planning and it will be fun to share these on the blog.

We've both been cleaning out clutter from our homes to get ready for the move so although the Christmas tree is decorated, I've not done much holiday decorating. I've been inspired by great ideas from other blogs, however, so hopefully I'll find time to do more Christmas decorating.

I wish you all the best for the holiday season. Thank you for reading my blog throughout the year-- I greatly appreciate the time you take from your busy life to read, follow along and leave such kind comments. It means so much to me.

All the best to you and your families,

Deborah
