I've Been Thinking...

...about how hard this year was for us, but how easy I have it because Jericho is just one child, and I am surrounded by helpful friends who have been there for me when I needed them.

...about how wonderful and complete it feels to have Michael home this holiday season.

...about how nice it is to have the extra set of hands and help with Jericho.

...about the families who have to celebrate Christmas without Mom or Dad this year.

...about our new house and the stress/excitement/chaos this move will bring.

...about how healthy we've been this year - nothing worse than a cold and a few scraped knees.

...about how much I've laughed myself to tears since Michael got home.

...about the uninterrupted showers I get to take now that I don't have to get out in the middle of it to make sure Jericho hasn't burned the house down.

...about the separation anxiety that Jericho sometimes has at CDC drop-off, and hoping we can overcome it soon.  We're making progress!

...about the amazing friends I've made in Italy, and hoping none of them forgets us or loses touch.

...about my experiences here in Italy and the ones that await me in Oklahoma.  This move will be bittersweet.

  1. I'm really going to miss you when you move! I know you're going to have a wonderful time in Oklahoma though! I mean, having a Hobby Lobby nearby makes everything better. :)

  2. Oh goodness, you're moving back already?! I guess I forgot how long it has been, which means I forgot that I've been here for 2 years. Where does the time go? When are you moving back?
