After all the frill and thrill of the holidays it is only natural for you to pack things up and go home. It is not always an easy thing to do, but it is what happens. You have to return to work and go on with your "everydayness" that must happen in order to go home for future holidays.
Like most people the trip home is bittersweet... bitter because you are leaving the ones you love after having a great holiday, sweet because you are finally going back to what you have now named home and you get to see friends who have just finished the same type of trip.
Brant and I had an amazing holiday visit with our families (luckily our families live in the same town so we get to see both of sides of the family for Christmas!) We baked cookies, put puzzles together, went shopping and best of all....played with the Baby Cade!! He loves his grandparents and his uncles even though his uncle Eric messes up his hair. It was soo neat to watch him learn and grow while we were home. He got really neat gifts...one of which was a hand made wagon that says Greathouse Express on the side. He also got some really great CDs and DVDs and lots of toys. Brant and I also got some really great gifts the best of which I got to drive home on Sunday. Brant suprised me with a 2002 Buick Rendezvous (SUV)...which is so much easier to get Cade in and out of (unlike our 2 door Honda). I absolutely love it!! That was another reason our trip home was sweet! It was a great Christmas! The only one who didn't have a great christmas was Kinzie...poor pup, she didn't get a thing! But I guess that is the sacrifice she has to make in order for us to get an SUV.
Well I hope you have a great day! Enjoy the time you have with the people you love...some times it must come to an end before we want it too! I love you guys!
There are many times when you think "Life could not be better...everything is all coming together and I am pumped!" Then...when you least expect it a monkey throws poo! Well, not literally but it sure does seem like it smacks you in the face! The plans change unexpectedly and you are now forced to look to something different. Brant and I are at that point right now in our life and we don't really know which way to go or where to turn to next but UP. We know that the Lord has had some great plans for us...and we thought we were going that way, but it seems like we need to revamp and think again. We are currently praying for gui
dance and would greatly appreciate it if you would join us!! We are excited about what is ahead... just currently a little let down. But on a lighter note my brother (in-law) just proposed to a wonderful cutie and my son is really talented! He is the newest, youngest and cutest little drummer boy on the planet...but I am a little bias! I love you guys and hope you enjoy the pics!!
