I had already decided in my mind this would be one of the hardest holiday seasons in years....in 18 years to be exact. See, my mom passed away 18 years ago this year, and my dad passed away in Sept. My faith has seen me through this holiday season in an unbelievable way. I had to have been sitting in the palm of God's hand because while my whole heart missed my dad, I felt such a peace--so I was totally wrong with preconceived notion of how this year would go. This Christmas was special. I was so appreciative of all of the family that I had around me. I didn't take a second for granted and I was blessed to have my sister (from GA) come and stay with me...and by stay, I mean, stuck to me like glue!!! My favorite way to be with her!!! Enjoy the photo dump...but most importantly....remember, even on the days your family drives you crazy...you will all be where I am writing from right this moment. Cherish the time you have.
Em. So awesome that you started a blog. You have the most beautiful family and your one of the most gorgeous girls I know inside and out. With that and your great sense of style you will have a great blog!!
