I really like keeping this blog. I like the idea of friends and family being able to keep up with what is going on, on their own time, day or night. Thanks to everyone that called, text, posted or just visited the site. This was no Katrina, but it’s was nice to know that I was on your minds. It’s been a day of helping neighbors dig out their cars and long treks over short distances. The plan is to head to Dallas in the morning. The expressways are now open and if conditions look good in the morning, I will be on my way. This will also be Kyllan’s first Christmas away from her parents too. I guess we will try to start some of our own traditions. Kyllan and I will be going to my parents house in Jacksonville for New Year’s.
So, you know our plans for Christmas. What are yours?
I am not sure if William mentioned I am in Jacksonville. That is a long story that I can explain in a separate post. Nonetheless, I have enjoyed these past few days with his parents. Today, William’s mom and I went to get manicures and pedicures, finished up some Christmas shopping, and ran a few other errands. We had an enjoyable day. I am headed back to Dallas tomorrow and look forward to spending Christmas with William since we won’t be with our parents. We will more than likely have Christmas dinner at my sister’s house with she and her husband Rob and our nephew Drew.
I wish everyone a safe and joyous Christmas!
This is our first Christmas away from our families. Just the three of us — that’s it. We’ll go to church, open presents, take a visit to the peditrician, and close on a house!
We’re hosting Christmas at our house in Elk Grove. It should be an interesting Christmas because my cousin is spending her first Christmas as a married woman in Alabama, and her older sister is going to Cuba, and my grandfather recently passed (in June) so he won’t be there… so I hope that with those of us who are here in the city that we can still have the Christmas spirit and enjoy each others’ presence.
For New Year’s Eve, I’ll be heading off to ATL for my first NYE away from my family.
