School is over... but ironically, now is when busy starts. I'll be working full time now which (other than the paychecks), I'm not thrilled about. Oh well

Christmas is coming so fast! I'm kind of sad that it will be over so soon. Christmas this year is not what it has ever been for me in the past. I'm missing all the events back home that make the Christmas season for me. I won't even be home on Christmas day. The waking up- going downstairs and emptying stockings, eating sticky buns for breakfast, lounging around in our pj's opening presents and then going to grandma's... none of it will happen this year. Christmas is at my in-laws. I love my in-laws and I love that they get along with my family. It's hard though because their traditions are different so it will just be....... different. Also, my parents told me yesterday that they just want to have breakfast and then leave. Why would they do that?? So Christmas will be so different and missing for me this year, plus my parents won't be here. I know it's part of being married and traditions change with a new family.. it's just left me a little sad. I want to be little again, living at home! But then I see my husband and hear his voice and remember that I love where I'm at
