Moving and The Holidays

I am so glad to be done with the apartments from the 8th ring of Hades!!!! While Most times I am grateful that I have a place to live but the level of privacy was slim to none.. The staff there until the very end was rude and awful to my family.. I am so glad to moved and into a house! We are now the proud renters of a 1,600 sq ft house.. I am so ready for the holidays and ready to start anew.. The only complaint I have is that the traffic makes it hard to get places in a hurry.. I am so glad to have a Yard and trees as the other place was a concrete prison.. I was given a place that I could move around a breath... Now I can sit and read the Dallas Morning news, Abilene Reporter news and my Facebook with full view of a beautiful yard and the kids playing.. I somewhat hope that we can get snow this year so I can stare out the window at that. The Holidays are approaching fast and I am planning Thanksgiving dinner ( even though my Kitchen is no where near unpacked or ready)  and Christmas!!! I am dreaming of a house filled with warmth as my family ( the hubby and kids, my parents and my FIL and his friend will be here). I think I am looking forward to trying to Hide the gifts from the kids so that they wont eve have a clue of what we are doing..  The hubs is trying his best to Make his shop Happen and well since we had more stuff than we thought we are having to move it around and get it started.. I know we are going to the Parade again this year and we are going to dress more warm than the last year because it got down right chilly. I am ready to play Christmas music and decorate the house with all the lights and smells of the holidays. It doesnt seem real that 2013 is almost over. I am glad however to ring in another year and another chance to live life the way the Lord wants me to. So here is to moving , the holidays and the new year!!!
