Almost There….

admin December 23rd, 2004

I’m anxiously awaiting 4:00 when I can leave work and begin Christmas vacation! Only 30 minutes to, but it seems like an eternity. Today’s been really good though. The other counselors surprised me with a birthday cake, so that was cool. The sugar buzz from the icing kept me going for the first half of the day. We also went to Subway for lunch, which was equally as yummy as the cake. My mom called me in the midst of my delicious turkey sandwhich to wish me a Happy Birthday. She’s awesome. Seriously, I have the best mom in the whole wide world! The is the first birthday I’ve ever been away from home. I’ve never not opened presents with my parents right when I woke up that morning. So that was a little hard to deal with, but I have an amazing hubby who makes it all worth it. We’re celebrating my birthday tonight, but nothing too fancy. Christmas has a way of quickly depleting the check book. I think we’re going to see the new “Focker” movie. We’ve both been excited about it, and it’s playing here in Greenville. We have to finish packing tonight and get our car loaded up for the trip back home tomorrow. We’re opening our Christmas presents together in our apartment tomorrow and we’re going to have our own little Christmas meal. We thought that would be special since it’s our first married Christmas. Time to start new family traditions and whatnot. Tomorrow after lunch we’re heading up to my parents house…where we’ll be staying for the next week. Christmas Eve service is tomorrow night, followed by the ritual dinner at Olive Garden. Christmas day will be packed with many family visits and good times. Should be a great holiday season! Merry Christmas and God Bless!!! :-)
