It's finally here...

Well a month of anticipation, parties and being good so that Santa will come see me and it is finally Christmas Eve. I will be in bed soon as Norad says the big guy in red will be hitting the United States in an hour or so.
Truly an amazing Christmas on every level. Forget that I haven't opened the "big presents" yet, this Christmas will go in my personal record book for being wonderful whether I have gifts or not. I have had my friends and family near and dear almost everyday. There has been a lot of laughter, a few tears, and more hugs than I can even begin to count. It has been a long road to this Christmas, to these friends and a church family that I was convinced could not exist for me again. When I moved back to Spartanburg two years ago, I never thought I would find a home like the one I had left in Asheville. I couldn't believe God would let you strike gold twice. I am the most blessed girl in the world.
Merry Christmas dear friends and family near and far, old and new and to the ones who lie ahead on the road for me to meet. May the coming year keep the spirit of love that has filled every nook and cranny of the last few weeks.
