Going to try to hurry because I have a lot of goals today, it being one of my first weekdays off in a while. It’s early and I’m trying to clear out (and read) my google reader, and it seems like everyone is posting about 2011/2012 holidays/new year. I will have to write the obligatory resolution post later.
I wanted to just express a touch of disappointment about the holidays. With moving into the new house less than 2 weeks before Christmas day, this got a little hectic. We didn’t get a tree (wasn’t meant to be this year), and honestly it’s all just fine. We are super thrilled to be in our house, but Christmas just felt a bit different this year. No tree, no presents, no opening in the morning. We did have a sweet rib roast (sous vide – yum!) and went snowboarding, so while it was an awesome day, it just wasn’t Christmas. And the evening turned pretty sour with our friend’s testing boundaries in our own house before we even got a sofa, that kind of sucks. Or maybe it’s because we have no real plans for NYE this year, which is exactly the opposite last year. Or I spent all December last year traveling. Or a combination of it all?
Anyways, my point is that I am inspired for next year. I can’t wait to wrap up presents and get a tree and decorate it all wacky. We go get Charlie and Miles, and probably Rusty, in a few days from my parents’. As well as the rest of My Stuff, and squeezing in a snowboarding trip to Wolf Creek (of course) and visiting ABQ friends. I can’t wait to see my babies again. I haven’t seen them since May! Once they’re here, I think this house will feel a lot more like home.
Now that I’m finally here, I can’t wait to settle in!
Well, there are so many more updates I could share, but I really need to get it together today and gets lots done. So much laundry!
