Merry Christmas

Paul and I are leaving this evening for Houston. I am excited to be spending Christmas with my family there. I had some random thoughts that I decided to write down, so here goes...

- As I have been pregnant, I've thought a lot about Mary this Christmas season. I'm only 19 weeks along, but I've still had some of the discomforts that come with pregnancy. Can you imagine being A LOT more pregnant, travelling on a donkey, and then going into labor and delivering in a cow pin? But, I bet the sounds of that sweet baby made it all worth it.

- I HATE the busyness the Christmas season brings. Paul and I have been going 90 to nothin' for the past several weeks trying to get presents bought, laundry done, parties attended, etc. One of things that I really like during this time is listening to Christmas music in my car or around the house...it helps me remember.

- I really like having a clean house. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

- We have begun to think about the traditions we want to have with our family since next year we will have a child. I think it is hard to take the traditions from both of our childhoods and come up with something that is unique to our little family.

- I am so so thankful for the week and a half that I get off...starting today at 2:30pm. I need a break from work.

- And, lastly, our friends Holly and Justin are having their first baby - a boy - today. YEAH! The name has been kept under wraps, and I can't wait to know what it is and see pictures.

Merry Christmas!
