I'm so excited (and I just can't hide it)!

Hope everybody had a lovely, wonderful Thanksgiving. I always dread the two and a half hour drive to my grandparents' house in a town which is even more void of character and soldier-infested than my hometown, only to be assailed with questions that I must awkwardly answer without revealing too much about my worldly ways in a Pentecostal preacher's home. And then there's always, "Why don't you ever come visit us?", then all the females do the dishes, followed by the two and a half hour drive home.
This year wasn't so bad. I ate lots of food, had the wonderful company of my beautiful daughter whose conversation I enjoy more than most adults, and just tried not to take things to heart. It was relatively quick and painless.
And might I just say...although I know I mentioned this in the last post...I CANNOT WAIT for Christmas. My mom is coming out from Texas, my brother is coming down from New York and getting married, and it's Cameron's first (real) Christmas. Last year doesn't count because she had no clue what was going on. I'm counting down the days...
