Christmas 2015

First things first...yes, this is a different blog than where I've been for a year. I decided I don't write enough to pay for a personal website, at least for now.

With that being said, here I am! This is a minimalistic space that I'll use for posts here and there. I hope that's okay with you all!

Today is Saturday, December 26. The hustle and bustle of Christmas has come to a close.  I always fight the sadness the day after Christmas. I work retail, so I'm back to work today. The gift buying and giving, the early morning opening of presents, the yummy food and the quality family time the Christmas season brings is over for 364 days.

Jonathan and I had a very wonderful Christmas. As we were driving back to my parents' house last night for some more family time, we couldn't help but to feel overwhelmingly loved and blessed. It truly is the most wonderful time of the year.

I got lots of special presents this year, but the most special gift of all was getting to spend the day with Jonathan and our families. I truly cannot get over how fortunate we are. The holidays aren't as special for everyone, and those families are in my hearts and prayers. I can't imagine what some people go through and the dread the holidays bring for some families. If you're reading this, know you are being thought about and prayed for right now.

I just thought I'd stop in and show you all my new space. One of my resolutions for 2016 is to write more, so hopefully I can be successful with that.
