Just came to see how cool everything is here…I just enjoyed spending time with my family. I didn’t know it at first, but Jerry had been off for six consecutive days! He works shifts (which is a good thing) and has six days off between shifts. So we had a nice “staycation” together. Eli’s job at the golf course is seasonal, so he’s home too.
On Christmas Eve, Noah and his girlfriend Rose came over, and so did Ava (Eli’s girlfriend). They were both great sports and wore matching pajamas that I had for each. Wearing matching pajamas is something I’ve always wanted to do, but I never had the time to do it…until Noah moved out. Now I feel like I’m trying to make up for lost time!
So, parents (or grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc.), do that thing right now—whatever it is—that you’ve been saying for years, “We should ____.” Next up for us is a time capsule I purchased years ago with the intention of assembling and burying it. Will be completed this spring! Mark these words.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! The kids were so much fun to spend time with and Jerry and I were so excited to watch them open their presents. We joked that we wanted to buy their love this year, hahaha. There’s really nothing like having your kids move out on their own to make you feel more desperate to get that time back so you can start over, this time knowing what you know now.
Well, I’m busy over the weekend, so I’m not sure if I’ll write again before the new year. I always like to write a few “end of year” posts, though, so I’ll probably try to write at least one. Happy holidays everyone!
