Oh, there's no place like home for the holidays...
So I've been home for a while now, and the stay has been ok.
I got to see Ashley a few days ago which was nice. I haven't seen her in a long time. She looks great and seems to be doing well which makes me happy. I love you, Ash!
There are a few other people I'd liek to see while I am home, like the twinners. I haven't seen them in a while and would really love to catch up with them. I also would like to try and see the guys- that is, if they are even interested in seeing me.
Speaking of guys- I have been spending time with Jamie here and there, which is nice. He came over to decorate the tree with the family which was a good time. It is a long standing family tradition that we decorate the tree together, and I was surprised my father said it was ok for him to come over, The rents liek him- a lot, and so does the big sis. Mom and Liz say if I mess this one up I'm gunna get it. But what they don't realize is that I am actually serious this time. No fooling around, I am ready to settle down and there is no one I'd rather be with than Jamie. I LOVE YOU, HUN!
Well, I guess I better get helping my mom with Christmas Eve dinner. Today is going to be crazy with all the festivities. First, we eat dinner, then we do presents, then we go to a friend's for thier Christmas party. We really should fit church in there somewere, but I don't know how we'll do it. Its just not the same since Chippy moved away- we used to go to a service with his family. I wonder what the old Chipster is up to these days...
Anyways, I wish you all the merriest of Christmases. Keep in touch!

The song in my heart is "Merry Christmas Darling," by the Carpenters. This one goes out to Jamie...
Greeting cards have all been sent
The Christmas rush is through
But I still have one more wish to make
A special one for you
Merry Christmas Darling
We're apart that's true
But I can dream and in my dreams,
I'm Christmas-ing with you.
Holidays are joyful
There's always something new
But every day's a holiday
When I'm near to you
The lights on my tree
I wish you could see
I wish it every day
The logs on the fire
Fill me with desire
To see you and to say
That I wish you a merry Christmas
Happy New Year, too
I've just one wish
On this Christmas Eve
I wish I were with you
I wish I were with you
