As of today, I only have 3 day left until I head back to my hometown of Jamestown,ND. I cannot believe that I have not been back for a Christmas in 3 years. Those three years of Christmas' have been spent traveling to Boise or mom/dad traveling to WA. Christmas to me is time spent with family, all family. I am so excited to be able to spend this Christmas with not only my parents but my grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins, and friends. I am hoping to connect up with a good childhood friend of mine, Jill. Today, I am spending Christmas with my sister and her family. We are taking a North Pole Express Train ride up to the foothills to see Santa and have quality time with family.
Where does time go? I remember being a little child who spent Christmas Eve at my Grandparents house where we slept in a "walk in closet." I would always wake up early to run down my Grandparents Day's stairs to see what Santa brought. Then would I go back to the "closet" to tell Nicole what she got. She hated me when I always did this. To this day, I still wake up early and go to my stocking.
I am so excited for what this Christmas is bringing. A new meaning to the season of hope, peace, comfort, and my Saviors birth. But also spending time with family and creating new memories.
Have a wonderful and blessed trip...today and to ND!
