Wow what a week. David's boss was laid off on monday, putting him in charge until they find a replacement. This means alot of stress on him as he deals with all of the Christmas hulabalu, an dextra stress on me as I have to deal without him. Normally this is not such a big deal, but as I finished my student teaching assigement this week I have been highly emotional and really needed someone to lean on. Luckily my friends have been more than willing to step in and amuse me in the mean time...I'll just count it down the days till it is all over....lets see now that would make it 17 days? In this seventeen days I get to amuse myself preparing for Christmas, work as often as possible, and hope to at least see my husband before I fall asleep at night. Just think of the paycheck I guess. Really I feel bad for the poor guy, as of last night he had already put in 58 hours in five days.

As for Christmas, this year should be interesting. We are heading to Alabama to see Davids family. I am very excited to see them again, I am one of the lucky ones and have GREAT in-laws. It is the whole--different traditions, away from my family, and NO SNOW???-- that has me kinda nervous for this one. I'll make sure to fill everyone in on how it all goes, which I'm sure will be great. David is so excited he has been counting down the days for over a week now; not only does he get to go home and see his family, but he gets to show off his hometown and his old haunts to me, something he has been bragging about since we started dating.
