Tis a new year

Tis a new year and now's the time to look back . . . to Christmas.

Chris and I spent Christmas weekend in Nashvegas with my family. We had a wonderful time and were lavished with love (and presents). We spent Christmas Eve with at my grandmother's and Christmas day at my house. I had Monday off and Chris and I went shopping with my mom at Target, where I got a fabulous new outfit.

The next week involved a special Christmas with my husband where we exchanged gifts and then watched the water pour into our apartment (trust me, it wasn't as romantic as it sounds). After a somewhat crazy work-week, and a very long drive, we arrived in Spartanburg.

Once we got there we had Christmas with Chris's immediate family and watched Tobey Tyler. Tobey Tyler is a movie about a boy who runs away and joins a circus, where he befriends a monkey named Mt. Stubbs. (The monkey doesn't die.) Saturday we went to Chris's grandparents and met the extended family for dinner and more gifts. There were a lot of younger cousins, and therefore lots of noise.

I spent a lovely New Year's Eve curled up on the couch with my husband. I also got my first ever kiss on New Year's! :) The rest of the weekend was calm and restful, which was exactly what I needed.

Here I am, back at work (which is still somewhat crazy), looking forward to what this year has to hold for me: being a wife, Seesalt, possibly school in the fall. I'm looking forward to 2006 and to what God's going to do both in and through me.
