Happy New Year!

Since it's New Year's Eve and since Ashton is currently out walking Dusty, I decided that I would update the blog.

Our Christmas was pretty uneventful, which suited us just fine. We went up to Ashton's mom's house for Christmas Eve and spent some time with her as well as Nate and Anjanette. We enjoyed the time just visiting, eating, and opening presents. Christmas Day we stayed at home enjoying the sunshine and warmth (yeah we didn't get any snow for Christmas although we got some yesterday and it has actually stayed). We played lots of games and had fun.

Ashton has actually had this week off from work and it's been great! I've enjoyed having him around. We haven't done a whole lot, although we got to visit with some friends that we don't get to see often, but it's been great to just relax and spend some time together. We won't have this opportunity again for a while so we've taken advantage of it. Hopefully, it won't take us too long to get back into the daily routine next week when Ashton has to go back to work.

It's hard to believe that in about a month and a half, our family will have a new addition. We've been preparing for it, but my mind has just recently been realizing how soon it will be. The time will either go fast or slow, but it'll go and, hopefully, I'll be ready when it happens. The baby is getting me used to waking up in the middle of the night with his kicking so that's at least something I guess.

Of course, you can't get to hours before the new year begins without thinking over the past year. This year has brought with it a lot of changes for us. All of them good and a few of them were pretty big changes. Next year will bring some more changes and we're pretty excited about that. There will of course be ups and downs, but it should prove to be an interesting year I think.
