Christmas in the South
Hello all! It's been a long, long, long, long, long time. I apologize. A lot has happened in the last 4 months! I got married. I moved. I've been to Vegas. I have a new job. New relatives... the list goes on and on!
I just wanted to take a short moment to reflect on this new season of my life and this new season in the south! Yep, Christmas is what I'm talking about. The first peculiarity was spending the day after Thanksgiving at the beach. Yep, me and my husband spent the Thanksgiving holiday at the beach with his Mom & a friend. It was fantastic! But weird. Waking up to the sound of the surf is always a welcome noise, but hearing it in November is something to get used to.
Secondly, it's just a complete adjustment to adjust to the holidays away from the snow! I've seen photos from PA with the snow and such, and let me tell you, here in NC, we just don't see that sort of thing. I'm told that it may ice every once in awhile, possibly snow once in a blue moon. Again... weird.
I must confess I get a little weepy every once in awhile missing my friends and family from back home in PA. I get all nostalgic. Last night was the Creative Ministries Christmas party. I nearly had a small meltdown, but my fantastic husband helped keep my mind off of it. And he is fantastic. I couldn't be happier and more blessed to have such a wonderful and understanding husband. He allows me just the right amount of nostalgia, and the right amount of cheering up. I am still the luckiest woman in the world!
So, while this year is quite the adjustment with all these new things. I am blessed with a wonderful family in NC, and my PA family is coming to visit, and I will get to visit them too. So, again... weird, but in a good way. Bring it on... Happy Southern Holidays... um... y'all.

I stumbled back over your blog...just in case you had written...
Y'all...nice.
I can't wait to come down south and see your new life firsthand. I'm so happy for you and that you have found such a great husband and friends down there.
