Anti-Gravity Trees and Floating Rocks

Today was a great day. It would have been the best day if Collin could have been there... But it was still a great Christmas. I really wish Collin didn't have to work today. Everyone loved their presents. Before lunch/dinner (it was way early to really be dinner...) Dad, Joshua, Jordan and I went for a hike up the mountainside. It was nice. Sunny and bright, but rather windy and chilly. Luckily the road we hike up is on the lee side of the mountain, so until we crested the ridge it was merely breezy. At the top of the ridge though the wind was whipping through the trees like a banshee. It was a great walk.

The funny thing is I remember taking that same hike with my brother two years ago and thinking I was going to die. I was so horribly out of shape. I am not by any means in "peak physical condition", but I am a whole helluva lot healthier than I was then. Today, I didn't even get winded. Yay for progress!

Shock of shocks, my mom never called, so I didn't get to see her today... Oh well. I'll catch up with her in the next couple of weeks.

Amanda is three months old today. She is such a doll. I don't think anyone can resist her; she is such a peaceful and happy little baby girl. Dad adores her(like all his grandkids); he says she reminds him a lot of me at that age....

Today would have been perfect if Collin would have been with me. It really sucked coming home and now being by myself. Doesn't help the depression crap very much. Last night wasn't as bad as the night before. Today was good because I was able to be distracted all day, until I got home to my empty and quiet house.

One thing I know will help me get out of this funk: I get to see K tomorrow!!!!! I have been looking forward to this forever and a day (well, since the last time I saw her... Over two years ago!). I am so thrilled I get to go over and visit her and Little Miss.

I've kind of lost my steam for this post... Got distracted by Facebook... I am going to go curl up with my cat and watch some tv or something, and await my husband.

*~*~*~*~*MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT*~*~*~*~*~*~*
