Hello All! My December was great! I always love that time of the year. This Christmas Justin and I went to California for the Holidays. We spent a lot of time with his family and just enjoyed ourselves. We even managed to get in his parents hot tub almost every day...personally I got a little spoiled. :o)
On the Friday after Christmas we went to San Fransisco to visit the Muir Woods. The Muir Woods are part of the Redwood Forest. This was my first experience with hundred year old trees. But even better than the beautiful tress was being able to continue to build relationships with Justin's family.
On Friday night we stayed in a hotel close to the city. Justin and I were to share a hotel room with Justin's sister Cassie. We all went to sleep around 11, but I woke up at 12:30 because Cassie was snoring. (She had recently been sick, so I think she just had a lot of gunk in her chest.) Anyway I couldn't sleep so I decided to try my luck with Nathan (our 8 year old nephew). I went to sleep with Nathan on the fold out couch (definitely not the most comfortable bed!). At some point during the night I woke up to Nathan saying, "Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh." I knew he was surprised to see me out there. So I said, "Sorry your Mom was snoring." He looked at me like OK that is a satisfactory answer and then I said, "Thanks for not kicking me out." He said,"I don't usually do that." Then he rolled over and went back to sleep. What a great kid!
