Well, I made it through the weekend packed with plans! YAY! We had a great time. I am tired, but I think everyone enjoyed the festivities. Now I need to wash clothes and pack for the BIG TRIP I mentioned earlier. We are heading out Wednesday morning for my husband's grandparents house in Dallas, TX. We will spend a few days there with extended family and then head to Oklahoma City to his mothers house and celebrate with his brothers and their wives and kids. A few days there and it is home for a day to wash and rest, then on to my parents in Cheyenne, WY.
I have not at all been looking forward to this trip. As a matter of fact, I was trying very hard to get out of it earlier this month. I tried bribing hubby, whining, complaining...but of course, he wants to see his family. And I admit, he doesn't get to see them often. They don't visit us and we have been a few times to see them, but at Christmas time, I like to be home. I guess that sounds selfish, but I enjoy staying home. If anyone wants to visit they are more then welcome. And so I guess it is really about time we made a trip to his family. But it still doesn't make it easy on me to have to change my traditions.
I have come to accept this trip and stop trying to get out of it. I do look forward to seeing my sister in law (wife to hubby's younger bro). Her and I get along great and can commiserate about the same family traits in our husbands and the rest of the family :) We talked last night and made plans to go see a movie when we get to TX, oh and do some after Christmas shopping as well.
So please pray for a safe trip for us and that the kids are well behaved in the car (it is a 16 hour drive to Dallas, we will do it in 2 days). Also check out another great prayer for this week leading up to our Savior's birth.
And Merry Christmas to all!!!!!!!!!!!
