Listens: Carpenters Christmas Collection

I know, it's been forever since I have updated here. Work these days leaves me so drained at the end of each day. I'm home today with a migrane that's slowly going away... so seemed like a good time to try and update my LJ.

Where do I begin?
I had a fun birthday with Jess and Chris over Parent Weekend at Harding. (No broken toes this time!) Got to spend it with two of my favorite people, Jess and Chris! Have to say, they spoiled me! They both even cooked breakfast for me one morning! It was so cute seeing them both in the kitchen together (Chris cooked the scrambled eggs all by himself!) Then the icing on the cake: they had a surprise party for me with several couples there that I had met through them over the past four years. It was a good weekend with good friends or should I say with all my kids!

I love seeing Jess and Chris so happy! I pray God will continue to always bless their marriage!

Then We got the news that Jess and Chris will not be able to come "home" for Christmas.
Jess let me know she wants me to be with them for Christmas and her Dad was able to find good deal on my plane ticket. I'm excited about getting to spend Christmas with Jess and Chris, but it will be bittersweet too. It will be the first Christmas that our entire family will not be together for the holidays. So, I'll celebrate a few days early with Robert and we still have our wedding anniversary to look forward to December 31!

Another first: I wrapped and packaged up all of Jess and Chris' Christmas presents and we mailed them to Searcy. Instructions were clearly stated on the boxes that they "not be opened until Christmas!" (actually meaning: until I get there)

I can't wait to bake Christmas goodies in Jess' kitchen with her! Their apartment will smell so good!
Now, let's see if I can remember to post pictures. These are from October.

Leave some love....
