Happy Holidays!

The holiday season is in full swing and in just a few days I will be headed to Colorado to spend Christmas with my love and his family. It's a strange and new thing this year because it is the first year that I will get to spend Christmas with Nick, and the first year that I will not see my family on Christmas. If I'm honest, I'm in a weird place with that right now. I am really excited to go, really thrilled to have some time off work, and looking forward to a week of festivities and fun, but I'm also missing my family and friends. Being in a new place where I don't know many people makes it hard to have friend get togethers for the holiday season or get invited to parties, but then to top it off, I am not doing the same thing that I have done for the last 25 years of my life. I won't be going to my Nana and Grandpa's for spiedini, or spending Christmas Eve with my mom and step-dad. I won't open presents Christmas morning with my dad delivering them with a stupid pun. That all said, I'm sad I won't be home. It makes me sad to think about this. But I am also excited to start our own traditions. To be able to see my family some holidays and be able to see his family on other holidays. It isn't going to be easy but it's part of growing up, and becoming one family of your own, by combining the two.

Not much of a post, but I just wanted to post about what's on my mind. Didn't really have a thorough post planned out, but those will come. For now, I'm just trying to get myself to write. That's what's important.

Since I will be in Colorado Monday-Friday of next week, followed by a week filled with work and a visit from my dad and sisters, so I'm going to allow myself to also take some time off of the blog. I have ideas for some more exciting posts coming in the New Year and will return Monday January 7th.

Hope you all have a happy holiday season and cannot wait to see what this new year brings for us all. Visit your family, eat lots of food, open presents, and share the love.

Bye Witches
