well we made it.
the Christmas season is finished.
we packed up ALL the decor and lights today.
i was telling brian that i love putting up the decor
but i love taking it down just as much.
why is that?
how could something bring you joy one month
and then you are so glad to pack it up.
Christmas wasn't what i expected. good just different.
lots of family and traveling.
family can be hard.
the longer we are apart the harder it is to be together.
my brother in law said some very wise words to me.
your problem is you have expectations.
the key is to have no expectations
then you are not disappointed.
good advice but hard to do.
maybe that is a good new year's resolution
no expectations.
i hope i can do it.
i wont expect too much. :)
here is praying 2008 will be a great year filled with
LOVE
JOY
LAUGHTER
PEACE
HEALTH
AND HAPPINESS.
AMEN

JEN!! Hey!! Yea, Christmas was not what we expected either! Toby is still with my brother. He had a tumor removed this last Friday, needing a 6-8 inch incision. I really hope animal control doesn't come to get him but my kids won't be around him again. You can't take the dog out of him and if he wants the food you have...Well, I don't trust him to not bite me. Isaac was the 3rd person Toby has bit.
Anyway, I hear ya on the Christmas "decor". This year I was ready to pack it up, lights and all, we took most of our boxes to the shed at my parent's tonight.
Thanks to Christmas gluttony I've gotta clean my house out again!
Hope everyone is staying healthy! Talk soon! Let's get together!
K~
