Christmas 2008 and New Years 2009

We had a crazy Christmas break. I went to Arkansas with my family to see my grandmothers before Christmas, and my husband went to Virgina Beach because his grandfather died. I picked him up on Christmas and got to spend Christmas with him and my family.

I had luch with an old friend from high school, who was a bridesmaid in my wedding. Until recently we had not been in touch for several (possibly 10) years. It was good to reunite and catch up. I regret not keeping in touch all these years. But it is hard, as we are all so busy and consumed with our friends, family and lives.

I had an amazing girls night with the usual crew. It was the beginning of a fabulous Christmas break. Fabulous food was supplied by all. It was fun to confuse/torture the only one who was still unsure of the Secret Secret Santa Society that we started up this year within our group. And hilarious to watch her night catch up to her as she became one with the floor.

Thanks to the H's for dragging me out for a spontaneous late night trip for dessert. Loy, loy, loy I say to you all. I also enjoyed the company of Hermione, her sister and her mom for a friday night, which was tons of fun, even though they passed on the squid.

I made the top of a quilt, which does not look how I planned, but after all, it is my house, craziness is the norm here. I caught up on movies, tv shows, time with the family, times with friends and kissed my husband at midnight on NYE. I am a blessed girl.

I look forward to the new year, and to my niece/goddaughter that will join us in late April. And I hope for increased luck in our own fertility. I hope for a full-time teaching job for my husand, and more opportunities to connect in any manner possible with friends and family, even those friends who I have not seen in many years. And I hope that everyone finds joy in their lives daily.
