It's Sunday evening, and I'm winding down after a long holiday weekend. It was wonderful getting to visit with family and enjoy the time off. Originally, Tom and I were going to get our engagement pictures this weekend, but baby Callie came down with a fever. We are both looking forward to next weekend when Jon, Tracy, and the kiddos come in town. Hopefully we'll have better weather on Saturday. By moving our pictures to next weekend, we both got the chance to enjoy some much needed rest.
As we race into another holiday, I've already swept through stores gathering gifts for friends and family. While wrapping gifts Friday afternoon, I stopped and thought about how quickly this year has gone by and how many wonderful changes have come into my life. A midst the bustling that comes with every December, I realized that this year I need to slow down and soak up the holiday. Too many years have passed where I feel I've missed a chance to reflect on all of life's blessings as I jump from place to place. This year I'm going to make an effort to spend some time to myself, to be at peace.
Next year will bring many exciting blessings, but tonight I am truly blessed as well, while I snuggle up to my dog on the couch.
