Happy Holidays!

All the cards have been sent, the presents wrapped, and I have returned from the family trip to Gatlinburg with a cold. :( Two days before Christmas and I have done nothing all day because I just didn't have any energy. I don't know why I am surprised considering that I was hulled up in a house with family for three days straight and about 50% of them showed up after just getting over colds. Other than the cold, I had a wonderful time with the family. Stad and I got up early the first morning and walked the streets of Gatlinburg together. It was the highlight of my trip because we got to spend time together and neither one of us talked about the stresses of work. We went to the aquarium with the rest of the family that afternoon. MJ had a good time and I got to pet a sting ray! It was really slimy. We went to the Christmas shop, hung out with the girls in the hot tub, and laughed with the family. I love my family and enjoyed our time together, but I was ready for my own bed. I hope you enjoy your time with family, but remember to not eat the chex mix from a community bowl when half the family is sick. :) I hope everyone has a very special holiday season. Peace.
