Merry Christmas!

Whiling away the last minutes before the imminent arrival of the family I can't help but muse a bit about the past year.

It's been one heck of an adventure, an eye opening experience and a chance to learn more about myself as well as more about hubby and myself as a couple and as parents. We have gathered more experience, learned many new things, have grown and grown up just a little more. Well, enough to consider settling down with a house that is :o)

We've been through frustration, disappointment and heartbreak, hope, excitement and giddiness on our search for a house that can become our home. If God wills it, we are going to be closing on our Ugly Duckling in just 3 more short weeks. The wait's been so long and yet I wonder where the year went, how summer and then fall and winter just raced us by. The finishing line is near and we're bursting at the seams with energy and love for our Ugly Duckling.

For now though, we get to take a break, get to spend time with our loved ones, get to slow down and kick up our feet as we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, our savior. I probably won't post anything for a week or so but I'll certainly be back in time for New Years! Until then ...

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
