Hubby's birthday is coming up next Tuesday December 22nd! Can't even believe is B-Day is coming, nevermind Christmas. Seems crazy how fast time is flying. Everyone is coming home for the holidays and it is so nice.
My brother-in-law came home from London this week and he'll be home for a month. My brother came home from college today. Dad's coming home from California on Sunday. Thinking of decorating the parents house with Mexican themed goods as a little welcome back party for him. I think he'll get a kick out of that. My other brother-in-law is coming home from NYC on December 23rd. Grandparents are coming to stay for a few days from the Cape on the 24th. So needless to say, this next week is going to be super-busy.
I'm really trying to get into the holiday spirit but am finding it especially hard this year. I am off Christmas Eve and attending my parents yearly shin-dig with the whole family, which is always a blast. But...then I'm working Christmas Day (Friday) and then I'm working that whole weekend until Wednesday. I think I even have to work New Years. Kind of puts a little bit of a damper on the holidays. Though I must admit, I'm trying to be thankful to even have a job in this economy.
Tommy has been so great lately and has really wanted to be spending time at home with me. He's refused quite a lot of offered side jobs because he'd rather spend time at home. That makes me happy :O). I am so lucky to be married to such a kind-hearted man.

December Update
I have not updated this blog in a while, but we've been so super-busy lately. Our trip to NYC last weekend was so much fun. It was great to visit, and see the tree in Rockafella Center. We also went to FAO Schwartz & Dylan's (the best candy store ever!!!). Also, we dined a few times at the Dallas BBQ--$10 Margaritas in NYC that were "Texas Sized"=totally great deal! We took Amtrack train there--my very 1st trip on Amtrack and I absolutely loved it. The scenery was just so beautiful.
Work has improved recently. I am training a really nice new grad nurse which is really fun & rewarding. Tom has been putting in some extra hours at his bosses houses doing some side jobs there. He seems to be liking his job lately, too. Married life is great--especially with the holidays coming.
I am done most of my Christmas Shopping. We have really downsized this year and are trying to fine "the real meaning of Christmas." Our little tree is set up on the porch and we light it up at night for the neighbors to enjoy. I am working Christmas Day which is a little disappointing, but I'm looking forward to the Christmas Eve party at my parents house. It seems hard to believe that 2009 is coming to an end so soon. We are ready for 2010 and can't wait to see what that will bring.
