So Christmas and New Years have both come and gone. After being swept through the madness of this past holiday season, T and I are finally back at home...and enjoying just being in our own home together. This past week has been nice. We finally have Ellie's house outside and shingled. Now we've just got to paint it. So yeah, we're still slackin' around a little bit, but it's nice.
I start school at North Greenville next week. I'm pretty excited about that. I register on Monday for classes, and even though it's a small University compared to others it's still bigger than this small town girl is used to. I'm still trying to get into this "big city" stuff...and it's tough. I miss the small town. Anyways...(I am so ADD) I start class on Wednesday.
Pretty much everything has been about the same...just missing my family and friends a lot. It's just not the same.
OHHH for Christmas my wonderful husband got me tickets to see Rascal Flatts in concert on January 22nd. Jessica Simpson will be opening, so that's pretty exciting. I'm taking Mannie of course.
Alyssa is doing pretty well lately. She's had some procedures done (a tube put down her nose) because of a swallowing problem that she has encountered because of not eating and drinking, she has lost the strength in the muscles she uses to swallow, which has made taking her meds really difficult. But all in all, her radiation is almost over, and she's still holding on pretty strong and I'm very proud of her. After the radiation is over, and she gets the therapy to help with swallowing she may even be able to spend some time at home for a while...which will be good for the whole family.
Those are some others that I really miss right now. So Kaitlyn calls me on Christmas morning to tell me "you won't believe this...I woke up this morning and I hit the jackpot!" Haha. I love that kid. I'm just glad that despite everything this past year they had a good Christmas. I didn't get to see them because they were actually with someone else while I was up there, but I did get to see Alyssa and take all the Christmas gifts we bought for them up there to the hospital...so that was good at least. And then Daniel and Kaitlyn both called me on Christmas morning.
Sometimes a part of me feels so lost without them...
Maybe I need kids, huh? HAHAHA. Please...no one speak a word of that statement to Lindsey. She'll beat me.
Anyways....Hope everyone had a wonderful start to this New Year. I know that God has so many awesome things in store for 2009!
