In early December, I got to go to a conference in Gatlinburg, so Keith came with me, and we had a blast! Gatlinburg is a super fun place to visit, especially at Christmastime! Everything was beautifully lit up and decorated. We spent the evenings bundled up, walking around town, sipping hot chocolate, chatting, and shopping. It was fabulous:)
Then, we celebrated our sixth anniversary at Chaffin's Barn, a neat dinner theater in Nashville. It was a Christmas comedy set in small town Texas:) We loved it.
Then, we got to travel to Texas and spend Christmas with my family! Yippee! We had the best time relaxing, talking, eating, and playing games together! Then, to top it off, we got a gorgeous snow on Christmas Eve!!!! It was neat, because instead of snowing during the night and melting the next day, it snowed all day, and stuck around for a couple of days, so we had a white Christmas and loved it!!
But, the best, most wonderfully amazing thing about Christmas was.............we got a positive pregnancy test!!!!! We could not be more excited and thankful!!! Our hearts are full!! We are in constant prayer for our itty bitty miracle, and we love him or her soooo very much already!!!!!
I hope you all had a joy-filled holiday with your family and friends. We celebrated four years of marriage in December. I'm so thankful for my sweet husband and I can't imagine living life without him! Since I'm a teacher and Keith's a student we've gotten really spoiled having long Christmas breaks together. Because we probably won't have such a long break together next year and last year we spent most of our break doing unexpected home renovations, we've decided to "live it up!" We've been staying up late and sleeping in everyday, watching movies, running errands, and just spending time together.
We are blessed to have two wonderful families and we enjoyed spending time with both of them, first in Jackson, and then in Roby. We enjoyed lots of good family time, sleeping in, staying in our pjs all day, eating lots of good food (both of our moms are wonderful cooks!!), drinking hot chocolate, putting together jigsaw puzzles, and playing lots of games. Reluctantly, we took the Christmas tree and decorations down yesterday, and things are slowly getting back to normal. But, normal is good too! Christmas wouldn't be special if it were always Christmas:) Happy New Year everyone!
