Christmas has been hard for my family for the last two years because of my aunt's situation. Last year, she went in right before the holidays, so it was a really hard year. This time around we decided to try to make the best of it and with the help of my loving in-laws we all had a really nice Christmas. Hopefully this is the last year we will have to celebrate without Pat.
We all got together and ate delicious food, watched funny movies, exchanged gifts and had a really good time all together. I am thankful for all the presents I received and especially for all the love I am surrounded with.
I thought that I would share some photos from our holiday and hopefully spread some of the joy we shared.

I know I owe you guys an update. Honestly, not much has been going on with me. I have been working pretty much exclusively on my book. At the moment I am pretty crucially stuck and it's frustrating me to no end, but I hope that it will all start coming back together for me sometime soon.
Oh, and you might notice that my blog entries have once again gone through an overhaul. I just felt like I needed to start fresh again. Haha, always changing!
Remember, love is.
