This Christmas was very different from the rest, it was my first time to not be with my mom and sister for the holidays since I was born! 28 years, that’s a lot of years of tradition and family at Christmas time! So this Christmas I was feeling kind of weird, you know, when everything is new and hardly anything feels “special” anymore. At least we got to see Solomon open presents and get so excited about everything. We went to Josh’s boss’ house for Christmas brunch and then drove to Beaver’s Bend, Oklahoma the next day to spend 3 nights in a cabin with his family. There is nothing like seeing family, it just makes all of your troubles seem far away knowing that you are supported by people who’ve got your back. Being up in Kansas City away from all of our family is pretty sad, but getting to see them every few months really makes us happy.
