Merry Christmas

Good morning! It has been a wonderful week full of rest and relaxation!

I was able to spend a few hours with my sponsor the other day and that was really nice too.  She felt really bad for missing my calls and told me if anything like what happened a few weeks ago ever happens again and she does not answer her phone, I am to come straight to her house, no matter what, day or night.  You have no idea how much it means to me to have someone  tell me that.  She also told me that, in case I did not know, she is my biggest cheerleader, and she is not there to scold me, or brow beat me, or judge me, but to love and support me.  To top it all off, she gave a beautiful floral arrangement that she made with greenery, silk flowers and a candle.   She makes them for all of her friends and sponsee's every Christmas, and it really felt nice to know that I was thought of.

Yesterday my husbands sister stopped over for a visit and it was really nice.  I don't know if I ever wrote about it before, but his family (parents) have never done Christmas.  She recently moved very close to us where as before she was about half an hour away. The nieces will be home from college tomorrow and I asked her if we could stop over and see her new house and visit.  She said she would love to have us.  Holy crap, I may be spending some time with family this Christmas!!!!

Today I will go out and finish my Christmas shopping!  I know!  My Santa pics are supposed to be in sometime today, so I will be heading in that general direction.  I just asked the husband how he feels about giving the nieces gift cards when we go over tomorrow, he said no!  Just give them cash, Yay!  What was I thinking?  What does every college student want/need?
SO I guess I will go for now.  I wish all of the most blessed holiday possible!
