Christmas this year was a rough one for Jo. Having never been away from family, it was very different for her to be alone for most of the day. Having been so busy lately, she spent the cleaning the house, watched a Christmas movie on TV, and was more than ready for Darin to be home, when he was lucky enough to get off and be home by 6pm. We then opened all of our Christmas gifts and enjoyed a nice evening together. We were all very spoiled this year, with roasters, homemade aprons, cute teddy-bears that sing beautiful uplifting songs, personalized bakeware, clothes, and cell phone accessories, and Darin's favorite gift a water pillow! The dogs too were spoiled as always with plenty of new toys (just in time since all the others are buried outside in the snow) and treats galore!
We miss our family and friends tremendously, and being so far from both is very hard, however we still believe this is a good move for us, and we are growing as a couple as well as growing as individuals!
We also everyone was able to take a few minutes to remember the reason we are able to celebrate this amazing day. Happy Birthday Jesus!
Lots of love to all and a very Merry Christmas!
