Wife and A Life at 30 (+)!: Holly Jolly Christmas.

Family Photo with the D O G's

For Christmas this year it turned out that Andy and I would not be able to make it home to our families. Several reasons held us back. At first we were a bit bummed out, lonely feeling, and sad, and relieved (it gets hectic going back to MN and trying to visit everyone). We talked to our friends mom on Christmas Eve and invited her to dinner as her son, daughter-in-law, and Granddaughter would not make it back to MT due to plane problems. We new she was home by herself and didn't want her to be lonely. When talking to her on the phone she told us that she was cozy and content at home by herself. We told her it was just us 2 here for Christmas and she told us to "Enjoy it." She lost her husband a few years back- she said she remembers 1 Christmas were it was just the two of them. It made me feel so good to hear her say that and really made me embrace and treasure this Christmas with just Andy and I. I completely loved it. I feel so blessed. I feel so blessed for our relationship, respect, and love for each. I am so thankful for someone who is my best friend and who can make me laugh like no other. We have so much fun together, I wouldn't trade it for anything. We spent Christmas Day at one of my favorite little spots on the mountain in my favorite little town. Although it was cloudy, it was still beautiful as always. Here are some pictures from our lovely little Christmas.
