This is a weird time of year for me. Lots of milestones pass, good and bad, so I've had to take a step back these last few weeks and focus on other things.
In short:
Dec. 23, 1999: My ex left me, and while I recovered quickly enough, that first week sucked rocks.
Late Dec, 2000: Shopping for a New Years dress with friends was the first time I noticed physical symptoms of the dramatic diagnoses that would be made in the following month.
Dec. 27, 2004: We moved into this house.
Jan. 8, 2005: My sister married the love of HER life.
Dec. 10, 2006: Married the love of my life
Dec. 9-12, 2011: Spent an incredible long weekend in Seattle to celebrate 5 years with aforemention love of my life.
Dec. 25, 2011: Max “gets” Christmas and Santa and we had an AMAZING Christmas this year!
Dec. 24-25, Every year: We have lots of local family. This makes for lots of driving over the holiday weekend.
Dec. 27, 2011-Jan. 4, 2012: Swamped busy, on deadline at work.
Dec. 30, 2011-Jan 2, 2012: Going away with friends for New Years weekend
So there's lots in my head these days, and so blogging falls a bit by the wayside. I hope you had a wonderful and blessed Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa/Festivus, and I look forward to getting back in the writing saddle in 2012!
Thanks for sticking with me, and I appreciate everyone who takes the time to read my ramblings here.
Ya know… I hear ya. Your posted really resonated with me. Lots of good, with a side of bad. Each year that passes.. A little good and some bad always lingers the possibility of more memories.. Enjoy all that you can this holiday season!
Ps.. Thanks again for the awesome wreath idea!
Happy Holidays, Lizz! We’ll see you in 2012!!
It is a crazy time of year! Enjoy the time away – it is good to change it up every now and then!
