So, as much as Dave and I love our families, with two sets of divorced parents and siblings in from out of town, the holidays can get a little crazy. And by a little, I mean a lot.
We have holiday activities scheduled from the night of the 23rd through the night of the 26th. NON-STOP. And then a few more on the 27th and 28th as well. And with the pup this year, logistics are that much tougher. He however, is very much worth it. I'm watching him go between staring out the window and attempted sleep at this very moment. He has been such a blessing to Dave and I - so full of love and pure joy.
But I digress. So, back to the holidays. Dave surprised me with a wonderful dinner last night at Trader's Point Creamery (a place I have wanted to try for a long time might I add) in what I think should become an annual calm before the storm tradition. It was a great atmosphere with live music, awesome wine and gorgeous Christmas decorations.
More than that though - it was a great chance for us to actually talk and spend some quality time together. Time has a way of getting away from us, with Dave in school, the pup and all the other things we have going on. Sometimes it seems like days go by without any real committed time to each other, which makes nights like last night so great. And, especially before the holidays those moments of calm are ever so precious.
So, as we enter this time of holiday love, joy and crazy - remember to keep a few moments of calm to those most close to you. They are sometimes the best ones of all.
