Christmas is Coming...

 I love me some Christmas.

Always have--I love the lights and the music and the carols. There's just something kinda glorious about this time of year...

Over the weekend, we started talking about how hard it is to believe that we have just six days left in our little home...because, we both agreed, it really feels like home here. Makes me thankful for the fact that 'home' can be created wherever we're together. I sure do love my girl...
As much change and transition as we've experienced over the past three months, we've really been blessed with a feeling of settling in here. There have been many days of unexpected adventure -- figuring out how to purchase a new propane tank and get it all the way up the hill to our house, and getting lost on hikes and finding our way hours later -- and there have been the daily challenges of adjusting to cold showers and dealing with bug bites (oh, the bug bites!)...but all in all, we've loved the new lives we've found for ourselves here. We've both grown to love this little town...and we've made some really amazing friends while we've been here.

As much as Christmas is about giving, it's also about slowing down to appreciate all that we've already been given. We sure do feel blessed.
