Well, that should cover it. Merry Christmas AnD Happy New Year! This year I struggled with a Christmas post on our blog. I didn't send out Christmas cards with the traditional letter that tells you how wonderful each of us are (I hope those reading this can feel the sarcasm dripping from the computer screen-I really do send out ThOsE letters). Presents to family are still sitting on the office floor getting no closer to the post office. I feel silly talking about material gifts and I feel overly personal when I talk about my Savior. My heart is turned to ALL the blessings we have received this year with our health, happiness and relative saneness. The true meaning of Christmas is always close to my heart no matter the season. I thought with the new house and "easy" Christmas lists that the season would be decked out and celebrated big. But in fact, a neighbor/friend, politely pointed out that we were Grinches on our block with no lights on the outside and even the Christmas tree lights on the inside weren't always on (this is so not like me. I've been known to sleep on the couch to bask in their glow.) I don't know why it was different this year. We still had a wonderful time and have been resting well (translation: sleeping in all day long). Blake's been sick this whole week, which means I've been running to the store for Pepsi and movies so he can move as little as possible (which is really fine by me because I'll probably get sick next and I can expect the same treatment in return :)
So, briefly. Lane is enjoying his compound bow (it's all fun and games until someone loses an eye).
Paige Georgia (she wants to be called Georgia now. Wish me luck.) is singing around the house with her earphones in. I'm typing on my new computer (I always say, "Once you Mac, you don't go back") and Blake finally put up our bedroom curtains with his new tools. I have to interject that I thought that when the cost per tool increased that the frustration and sweating would decrease. I'm afraid that DeWalt can't even tame my husband's handiwork. Which leads me to believe it's not the tool it's the tool-er. (Whatever that means.)
I'm now looking forward to the new year and organizing my life, house, office, and pencil drawer. I really like the idea of being organized and everything having it's place, but it's so much work. So I guess I'll look forward to putting it off some more. Maybe I should organize a way to organize... hmmm.
Until the next time, I am thankful for all my family and friends, and friends who wish they could be a part of my family, and friends who I consider family, and family who wishes they weren't my family :). I've been blessed to have people who care about me and people I definitely care about. I am lucky. May this year be full of all good things or things that are good for us.
HaPpY nEw YeAr!
