Today I awoke with a feeling of bittersweet about the New year. The time is going by so quickly. Yesterday I was a student working towards a bachelor's degree, a few hours ago, I had a baby and just seconds ago he turned one and began saying "mommy". In reality, I graduated a year and a half ago and I've been home for a whole year and a half with Tristan. The days go by slowly; there are days when it seems time is standing still... and yet the New year is upon me. I don't want to be in 2011. But, then again, I do not want to stay in 2010. I guess I'm beginning to feel my age. New year's didn't hold much meaning for me when all I was looking forward to was in my future. Now I have so many things to look back upon in my past that the new year is scary. I am framing my past by the minute and I know that I'll never get those minutes back.

Merry Christmas! I am excited! It has been a great month leading up to Christmas. We have been able to spend time with close and extended family, Tristan has busted in a few molars and we got our first snow on Thanksgiving day!! Still dreaming of a white Christmas, though:) We'll see. I am looking forward to seeing Dad play for the Christmas program at his church, and I know Tristan and Eva are going to go nuts about all of the toys they get on Christmas day (not that Nana doesn't already have a house full of toys, but... you know). It's going to be awesome! I'll post pictures after it all happens, until then, Merry Christmas! and BTW. If you aren't done shopping yet, be done! The stores are only out to rip you off this late in the game! Okay, Merry Christmas!
