I just can't believe that Christmas is 2 days away. Part of me is excited and the other part of me wants to just stop time so I can get in the right mood. I feel like life won't slow down to truly enjoy it. When I was teaching there was a distinct difference the week before Christmas because my schedule changed and I was suddenly spending more time at home with my family. This year nothing is different except that our advent calendars are still progressing. I wonder if it will feel different tomorrow night, or will it still feel like another 'normal' day is soon to come.
I was talking to a good friend of mine last night and she expressed her dread of having to travel and spend time with family. Now she has 2 small children and anyone who has small ones can relate, but I couldn't help feeling jealous that she will be close to family. We talked about that for a while and we both saw the irony in the situation, but I still wish I could be with family this year no matter how difficult it is to travel with little ones.
Regardless of what you and your families are doing this Holiday, I pray that everyone can feel of the love of our Heavenly Father and His precious gift of His Son, Jesus Christ. Merry Christmas!
Happy New Year!

Mindi, Jason and those two beautiful button pushers. I Love you and we will have the best times together. We have and the leaning I have done on you and your sister has kept me upright. Count your many blessings. I do and you are them.
I feel the same way. Like, it's so hard to feel the magic and excitement of the season because every day is the same.
I hope you have an awesome day--I have been thinking lots about you and I know this year will be hard to be without your mom. You are in our thoughts and prayers...wish we could be there! Really, we do...
