We have had a rather stressful season this year. We have been trying to buy a house and decorate this house, etc. We have done minimum decorating, the tree, stockings, wreaths, etc. all of my energy has gone into getting all of the papers together for the closing. All was well until last Monday and then everything fell apart. Glenn and I tried all week to get other financing for the house and put out all of the fires but to no avail. Finally, on Friday morning we made the decision to not go forward. I am rather disappointed about losing the house but am satisfied that we did everything we could and I guess we are meant to stay here.
We have still had fun decorating Christmas houses, and making peanut butter balls and driving by decorated houses with millions of lights. I have promised Mandy that next year, no matter where we are we are decorating with outdoor lights and putting up the “village”.
We are looking forward to going over to Kathie and Rob’s tomorrow and celebrating Christmas Eve with their family, Donnas', Bob’s and ours. Shelly escaped to Iowa this year and the SNOW and sledding and all of those things. We pray they will have a wonderful and safe trip.
Merry Christmas and we wish everyone a wonderful 2013.
