Ok, so I have to brag on my husband a little bit. Though most of you have already heard this story before, it is definitely blog worthy.
I’ve really been missing my family. It’s been May since I’ve seen most of them, and they are all together for Christmas in Kentucky. This being Andrew’s first year as an operator in a mall store didn’t really conduce to travelling during the Christmas season. So, here we are. Stuck in a house without a tree or decorations since we were supposed to be in our new house by now. We didn’t see the point in getting our decorations out only to pack them back in a box a day or two later.
So it’s been kind of a tough Christmas. Monday night, we get home from looking at Christmas lights with some friends and Andrew wants to go to bed at like 9:30 which is a rarity for him. He had to get up really early and was exhausted already. I think I remember his alarm going off around 5 the next morning but didn’t pay much attention. I went back to sleep until around 7:15. Then I opened the door of our bedroom to an amazing surprise. There was a tree, complete with lights, stockings hung and the entire living room decorated for Christmas! My mouth just hung wide open. I looked at Andrew at the kitchen table and didn’t even know what to say! Finally, I said “It’s a Christmas miracle!”
My amazing and wonderful husband got up at 5, went to Walgreens to buy a tree, assembled it and decorated the entire living room before I got up that morning! It really did turn things around for me. Though I still miss my parents and brother and sister-in-law it is so comforting to know I have a husband who cares about me so much. So here’s a little picture for you. Andrew is playing Mario Kart in case you were wondering what he’s doing
