Tis the Season

0
It's Christmastime, and one of my favorite times of year!  This is the first year I get to spend it married.  I'm very excited about all that is to come before it's all over.  One thing I have noticed is that with two families there is twice as much to do.  So far I think Michelle and I have been able to keep things fairly balanced.  We just got to visit my grandparents this past weekend.  Tonight, we are going to Epcot for the Candlelight processional.  This weekend, we have Michelle's nursing pinning ceremony, my school's staff party, my parent's Christmas party, playing at church on Sunday morning, and Christmas with the Boston/Barror Family.  It will be busy but we will definitely be able to do it all.

Throughout this time, I think is important for everyone to take time out and appreciate their families.  I know its easy to say things like this when Michelle and I are newlyweds that absolutely adore each other, and we get along with each others families.  I know there are families out there that struggle to live with each other and rarely take time out to truly appreciate each others individual personalities.  I hope and pray that this year will be a wonderful time of family and friends for everyone.

Merry Christmas!
