December? All ready? I can't freakin' believe it. Where in the world has this whole year gone? This time last year, I was 7 months pregnant and ready to just have that darn baby! Now, I have a little boy that is nearly a year old. Amazing. Thankfully, this year has gone by quickly, and this delpoyment is almost over. I really appreciate all of your messages on my last post. Thank you all very much, and please don't pity me. That wasn't my intention. I just find the whole process of blogging to be incredibly cathartic at times. And, after I wrote that last blog, I felt better. Much better.

We have been busily getting last minute things put together to get the last of our packages in the mail on Monday. Then, I can finally concentrate on finishing Tina's Christmas present, and the calendar that I am making for my mother. I hate feeling so rushed around the holidays. For once, I would like to just sit back, and enjoy. Every year, I vow to finish things up earlier. And, every year, I wind up with a million little last minute things that keep me busy until Christmas Eve. Oh, well...there's always next year.

my husband almost became a warrant officer (he was at an army base in Korea and they were trying to recruit him) but we decided to stay with the Air Force, we have about 8 1/2 years till retirement! and then back to the east coast we go!(probably NC)

I started "earlier" this year and I can almost gaurantee you that will just make more things for me to do. I think we tend to overload ourselves around the holidays because its what we are used to. Good luck with all of your projects.

Hey, you always start early and I know you've got a whole lot already done so stop stressing and enjoy. This whole rush is just part of the Christmas season. Does anyone ever just sit around and to enjoy it? Where's the fun in that? ;)
