Today lunch was spent with lots and lots of cousins which was nice because some of them I haven't seen in a long time. I got to compare wedding notes with my cousin Ashley because she's getting married on August 3rd. It was nice to laugh and be merry today.
Second Thing:I can't wait to attend the Christmas Eve candle light service with Nate. I went tonight with my family and it was so wonderful. (the laughing with my sister was also wonderful). I've never spent a holiday together with Nate and I am so excited for my first one. I'm already collecting ideas for decorating my home and making plans on when to visit each side of our family. I know it's a year away but last Christmas seems just like yesterday. Last year the night before he left Colorado fro Nebraska he told me to start looking at engagement rings and a year later I'm in the middle of planning a wedding and awaiting his return. Tonight will be filled with good food, watching A Christmas Carol, baking slice and bake cookies, and wrapping more gifts. Merry Christmas 2009. Who knows what Christmas 2010 will bring but I do know that it will be even more merry than this year. (I'll have my husband next to me, I'll actually get to watch him open his gifts, and I'll be with my wonderful families).
