This Christmas was very different for us. We decided to have it be just the three of us at home. What a change from the past few years!! Unfortunately, Elijah got really sick on Christmas Eve, so we had to rearrange some plans, but he was up and back to his normal self on Christmas, so we got up, opened presents and later that day went over to the Ryan family's house for a yummy Christmas dinner with all of our friends. It was great!
We didn't do much for New Year's Eve, but since we're not big New Year's Eve party people, it wasn't a big deal! We had planned on going to the beach with a bunch of friends, but since I had to work (yes! I am now officially back in the working world!!) we decided to keep it fairly low-key. We had dinner at Outback and then watched a movie and saw the ball drop at midnight. Then we were in bed! Probably by 12:05!! It's a good thing too, since Elijah was up at 7:00.
2009 looks to be an interesting year. Chris is officially back in the 'fleet' so he will deploy sometime this year (since this is a public blog, I will not be posting anything other than this regarding his deployment. If you want updates, be sure to give me your email address as I'll be sending out emails as often as I can). We'll still be in North Carolina and I'm working again, so I plan on staying very busy this year! I do plan to travel some this year. I'll be heading to Charleson in February, and again in April for the Cooper River Bridge Run. Then we'll be heading back up to Ohio for Beth and Sean's wedding!! My cousin, Katy, is getting married out in wine country in March, and I'm really hoping to make that as well.
I'll try to keep the blog updated as often as I can! So keep checking back! I hope everyone has a wonderful and safe 2009!!!!
