It's been a while!

It's hard to believe the holiday season for 2007 has already come and long gone. Here we are, into January, and this month is going to be over before I know it. I'm excited for all that 2008 has in store, but I have to admit that I'm clinging to the end of 2007 with all that I have. Our Christmas decorations are still out and the tree is still standing and decorated. I guess it's a combination of avoiding the inevitable and being too busy to just do it.
We had an eventful Christmas season, this being our first Christmas as a family. We went Christmas concerting (4x), a Christmas Eve servicing, Ladies' Christmas Tea attending, family dinners eating, family game time facilitating (the boys rocked the girls at Sequence), gift exchanging, movie-watching, and a head-cold getting.
Josh and I spent Christmas morning in the cozy of our own home with a fire and some blankets and our beautiful tree. After we gave our gifts to each other, we mozied on over to Josh's parent's house for more celebrating and a very delcious brunch, compliments of Mama Hilliger.
Unfortuantely, because of Christmas being on a Tuesday, we didn't get any time off work, so it was back to the grind the next day. But, lucky me! I got a serious head cold that week and was sick all the way through New Year's day and then some. We spent a rockin' New Year's on the couch under blankets and empty kleenex boxes. Oh well...we'll make up for it next year!
Here's to a new year: May it be full of blessings, challenges, joys, and God's grace to cover it all.
