Wow...away from GC for one whole day!

Christmas is just about over for the rest of ya'll and we're just winding things down over here.

Slept in till about 11 and the boy already had the coffee ready. Opened presents and even had to go do a scavenger hunt to get to the bling. First Christmas together went great!

Lunch at my parents' house then went to the beach with his 2 1/2 year old. (It was 80 degrees and sunny today, my condolences to those freezing their butts off)

Now it's time to sleep because dangit...it's back to work tomorrow.

Hope you all had a Merry Christmas!

IcelandElf,
Please take comfort in knowing that many of your friends and family (near and extended) are thinking of you. It is so hard when someone so young is taken from us. My heart goes out to you.

Thanks you guys :) [[[[hugs]]]]

I am happy because this evening, on Christmas, my parents celebrated their 55th Wedding Anniversary. They were married at 7:00 pm on Christmas in 1952. I am so very grateful that I had the opportunity to celebrate their anniversary this evening :)

I am sad because yesterday, Christmas Eve, we buried my best friend's little brother Zach. He was 39 and passed away last Monday, we think from a heart attack. He leaves behind two young children, Riley and Landon 8 and 6 years old. Zach, his sister Rebecca and I all went to University together at Southwest Texas State University and he used to get after me all the time to get after my homework and study hard. I miss him very much.

I am glad for all of the GCers that I have gotten to know this last year and it has made an impact on me how important it is to tell people that I know and love how important they are to me. You are all important to me and I am thankful for all of you.
Congratulations to your parents, iceland, and so very, very sorry about the loss of your best friend's brother and for his family. There's never an easy time of year to go through that, but sheesh, on Christmas Eve?!?! That's the worst. My heart breaks for those young kids...

There was a Chinese food place open here, and we have On Demand, so I would have been happy with some General Tso's and a movie marathon. Having Chosen People as friends growing up was awesome, especially as a teenager because they'd help me escape family events on Christian holidays.

Thank you!! He is just the most beautiful child in the entire world....excluding all of the GC'ers children, of course. Baby Michael arrrived via C-Section Thursday, December 20th. We got to take him home on Christmas Eve, and we're just so thrilled and besotted. BEST CHRISTMAS EVER!! :)

WHAT A GIFT!!!!! Congrats!!!! Take lots of pictures because they grow and change SO very fast... :)

Love,
mom of 9 year old who is still in disbelief that child is almost as tall as her mom. :eek:

Ah, the main thing about is not being alone, but spending time with friends when you have no family!

Spending time this time of year is very important for each of us.

One can only be pleased that you are not alone but with others who care for you and you them.

Bless all who have time to spend with Family or Friends! Feel very lucky. You could have no one!

I was away for seven days visiting the son in NYC.

Flew home on Christmas Day into the worst Christmas Day snowstorm in Denver recorded history.

Thankfully, it wasn't really that bad.

kathykd2005 12-27-2007 09:48 PM
Well, thank goodness for that, Delt! :)

^^^Co-sign! I'm a sucker for a white Christmas, but not when I'm in a plane! Glad you had safe travels and a good trip to New Yawk!

I knew I would miss some important stuff being away from the computer for several days!

Great news...hope he grows up & marries a Chi O!

Congratulations, chitown! Nothing better than a baby for Christmas (mine is now 18, but she's still MY baby!)
Icelandelf - I am so sorry to hear about your friend. I'll pray for his friends and family. I spent my birthday attending the funeral of one of my favorite students who died suddenly at the age of 23. Is there any sort of memorial fund/scholarship fund at Texas State? If so, e-mail me the details.
Congratulations to your parents - how wonderful to be able to gather and celebrate!
Funny how life works - the good and the bad. Thank goodness for our sisters and friends who help us through it all!
