My wonderful husband gave me a wonderful Christmas gift this year! He sent me to see my family in Missouri - all by myself - for almost a week! I arrived in Springfield on Saturday morning and got to see my brother, Jeremy, his fiance' Shannon (congratulations you two!) and his two boys McGwire and Kael. We had a great time together and enjoyed watching old videos from when the boys were little! I also was able to go to services at our home/sending church and it was so nice to catch up with our friends here, surprising many, as we didn't tell but three people I was coming!
Today, Mom and I had a lazy morning at home (I slept till 9!) and then spent the afternoon at the mall. We didn't get much but it was just nice to be able to go from store to store without hearing, "Mommy, can we go now? Mommy, I'm tired. Mommy, I'm hungry!" Just to brag on what a great husband I have, he even secretly saved up money for the last few months so that I could have a bit of fun too! I'm still amazed that I am so blessed to have him as my husband!
Today, Mom and I also got photos taken together. We had the photo studio to ourselves and had such fun! You can see the end results here and I think they came out really well.
Thanks Mom for a great day and for letting me invade the house, yet again! I love you!
And Joel, you truly are the best thing, after Christ, to ever happen to me! I love you!
