Christmas Card

Christmas Card

We’re finally doing a Christmas card.  We haven’t done one since we moved.  I’m trying to think of a way to summarize this year.  My ideas so far:

  • This year has been total crap
  • We are glad 2009 is over
  • If I ever have a year like this again, I will color all over my face with blue permanent marker

As you can see, so far nothing has been working. I can’t get very far without it devolving into something less than filled with holiday cheer.  This is probably NOT the year for us to get back into the Christmas card game, but we’re doing it anyway.

That’s why we’re doing a post card – that way we can’t get too specific that way, can we?  And I should be able to come up with something…maybe.

I feel kind of preemptive about the whole thing, since it’s, what, November 12?, but I’m trying to get the legwork part all finished before we do transfer or retrieval so I can lay on the couch and slap stamps and address labels on these babies while I watch movies and lie still.

Laura’s taking our picture tomorrow at lunch, so I gotta find something to wear.  ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE ALL GOING TO SEE IT. Last night I was going through my closet looking for shirts with long sleeves.  We all know that when taking pictures, you should wear long sleeves (according to the placement office at DTS) and so I’m all down with that.  But I didn’t find anything I liked.

This may mean a trip to find a shirt tonight.  I like shirts as much as the next person.

Joey is my best friend. We welcomed our miracle baby, Analie Alexa on November 23, 2010. She was 7 lbs of cuteness and we are so thankful for her. We lost our first baby (who we symbolically named Samuel) the summer of 2009. I love being a Christian, even when it's hard. I've tried IVF. Twice. It worked. Once. That's how we got Analie. I'm always willing to talk about infertility. Diagnosis: Stage 4 Endometriosis (plus a few other bonus things) I'm live in Indiana. I enjoy reading and going for walks in the evening. I get my news from NPR. Someday I want to be a guest on Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me. I love backpacking, hiking, canoeing and survival camping. I'm a big fan of weekends. My bike's name is Thunder. I'm a youth pastor's wife. I dig cows. I don't handle stress well. I'm not good at fishing; I talk too much. Cooking and baking are my favorite. I love hanging out with my girlfriends! I'm a budding environmentalista. I love me my Joey. Texas is where we "came of age". I enjoy seeing animals and want my very own Alpaca. And Koala. And Panda. Conservation is beautiful. I'm a neat freak. I like all-natural, chemical-free, environmentally-friendly products. Green is my favorite color. Still.
