Possible Scrooge In The Making...

I am not really sure what I am going to blog about. So I am pretty sure it will not be overly entertaining. Sorry, I can't be 'on' 100% of the time. The pressure, Oh! The pressure!

Spencer is going to be really busy with installs this month, which means out of town. Although I am trying to feel grateful that we have job stability, it really stinks! December is notoriously busy. We have not even decided what to get the kids this year. I usually like to bake and hand out plates of goodies. We normally take a family photo and get our Christmas cards out. Then there is the usual amount of holiday parties and get-togethers.

We also, in our young-self absorbed-completely oblivious to all others early love, decided to get married on December 27th! WHY!! I have not had an actual anniversary celebration in 11 years (Oh, except that one time my mom bought us tickets to the Kansas City Ballet performance of Nutcracker...Thanks Mom!) I know that there are quite a few other couples in our ward (that's church) who also have December anniversaries, so I am not saying anything about anyone else only us, the usually stretched too thin, broke, and exhausted Spencer and Roxann. AND...Spencer's b-day is the 28th, poor man is doomed! OK, that was just a little side rant.

Right now my house is in some alternate limbo universe between Autumn and Christmas decorations. I doubt with all my being that I am going to be getting much done in that department. I am just not feeling it.

Geez...that's a lot for one month! I was feeling sorry for our bank account just thinking of Christmas and Christian's birthday (December 30th). His mom and brother both have a birthday this month too. In a much less significant way I feel your pain! If it helps, we'll watch your kids for you so that you guys can go out and celebrate your anniversary!

Wow--that is a lot! I hope it slows down a little and that you get to rest! About the anniversary, I know what you mean. Ours is Dec. 18th--so not as close to Christmas, but close enough. When we meet, we KNEW we were going to get married. Waiting until the spring (after school) was too long to wait, and Matt was in school so we had to wait until Dec., and.....yeah. Anyway, no regrets. It's a joyous season all around!
