Remember The Simple Pleasures

This Holiday Season has been especially stressful this year for John and I.  Work has been absolutely insane throughout the fall, with lots of hours for both of us, a busy travel schedule for me, and John having to take care of Palin and everything else around the house while I am away.  It just seems like there has not been a second to just sit back, relax, and enjoy over the past few weeks.

We had a fabulous trip at the beginning of the month to San Fran, and Sonoma where we were able to decompress from Thanksgiving.  But...it just did not feel like enough time.   Now we are four days from Christmas and I am sitting in a hotel room in PA tonight reminding myself to sit back, relax, and take a deep breath.  The next two weeks are a whirlwind for us....our first Christmas as Newlyweds and  basically flying all over the map to see everyone. It is a crazy schedule that makes me tired just thinking about it...I am just hoping for a good nurgle or two along the way.  I am excited to see family and friends I have not seen for awhile and  cannot wait to enjoy the simple New England pleasures of lounging by the fire with a glass of vino, a good book, the ones you love, and maybe some karaoke too.   Most of all I am excited about waking up next to John on our first Christmas morning together, and celebrating Palin's first birthday!    It has been an incredible 2010....and I am ecstatic about what is to come in 2011

Happy Holidays to all!
