Soon

Three days!
Jared comes home in three days. It is only for a week and a half but he will be home!
He flies in at around nine in the evening Saturday (20th) and leaves at six o'clock in the evening on the 2nd! We are heading out to Mom and Dad's on the 23rd for Christmas and we are sooooo excited for the road trip and to see them. We won't be heading back until the 28th or 29th, depending on what is going on and the weather. Spending Christmas with family is well worth the six to seven hour drive through the rain and hail there and back! Of course, doing so with three crabby kids will be an adventure all in itself. Andrea, I honestly don't know how you do it driving here every year! But Dad made a special trip out to see Jared graduate and there is nothing that's going to stop us from doing the same (the special trip part anyway!)

The girls are very very excited. They have already planned out all the cool pictures they want to make for Daddy and what to put on the banners! They are quite adorable!
As for me, I am stressed as usual. Such excitement also bring extra responsibilities for me so I am trying to catch up on everything and budget for the trip the best I can... Santa is going to Grammy and Pappy's this year and trying to figure out how to tote all those wrapped gifts from "santa" is proving to be a task!

Well, I hope everyone's holiday is safe and fun... we will do out best to see everyone we can while Jared is in town, but we are really going to want as much us time as possible. He comes home for good in FEBRUARY so there can be plenty of visiting then! lol

Merry Christmas everyone and have a great New Year. God Bless you all!
