I'm back y'all. I know I went a few days without blogging..It was actually not my fault though. I tried to log in and it would not let me. The site said I had to enable cookies or something. I followed the instructions and it still would not let me sign in. I had almost written blogging out of my life. After three days I had almost given up. Josh tried once to log on and it put him right through. The story of my life.
Just kidding. I am glad to be back though. Although there is no physical communication happening, writing about my life makes me feel close to all of you out there reading this. And being close with you family is practically required this time of year. I was talking to my mom last night, and we discovered that this will be the first Christmas that she has been without one of her kids. It has been almost twenty five years and our family has been lucky enough to all get together every single Christmas. That's pretty amazing in this day and age. I am definitely feeling the tug of my heartstrings. I really truly wish that I would be home in Idaho this Christmas. Unfortunately, that will probably not happen. Fortunately, Josh and I are going to be surrounded by his family this year. We are really looking forward to that, as I am sure everyone knows. My family through marriage are great, and if I can't be with my blood family, there is no one else I would rather be with. ...I have to go now, but this essay has a part two, which I will give you tomorrow.
