so...haven't blogged in a while...

well i've sort of been on a blogging break.  i didn't really mean to, but the past week has been pretty busy.  busy but wonderful.
  • brandon and i had a great 2nd christmas together as a married couple.  we didn't get to go home (to nc and sc) for the holidays, but we ended up being okay :)  after an amazing christmas eve service at river's crossing (500 people! and brandon did a great job), i made a special meal for just the 2 of us on christmas eve consisting of some of each of our favorite holiday dishes.  i also made b's favorite, steak.  after dinner, we watched my favorite christmas film, how the grinch stole christmas (old and new version).  it was a lovely evening!
  • christmas morning brandon and i cooked breakfast together, opened gifts, called his family, and video-chatted with mine.  later that day we went to see marley and me, and then had dinner at paul and farrah's.  although we missed our families, we had a wonderful christmas here in ohio.
  • i worked friday and saturday, and rivers crossing didn't have church sunday, so we slept in.  my parents, andrew, and gini came sunday.  i was soo excited to see them!  we had such a good time.  we went out to eat at pf changs (yum!), shopped a little, hung out with some friends and extended family, slept in, ate wonderful food (southern cornbread dressing!!), played games, and just relaxed with family.  WONDERFUL 3 days =)
  • a few of my favorite gifts - a very cool giraffe-print purse and sephora urban decay eyeshadow from b, a chi hairdryer from my parents, a funky orange shirt from brandon's dad, all 3 anne of green gables dvds from brummy and popi.  we also got a garmin from brandon's dad - such a cool surprise!  brandon and i were very blessed.
  • now back to reality.  working wednesday, thursday, friday days.  back to the long hours, but also to see my precious kiddos at the hospital.
i hope you all had as good of a christmas as we did.  i am so blessed beyond measure.
