12.01.08: Back Home

Dear Friends and Family,

We got home early Saturday morning from a vacation that really couldn't have been more perfect. (Note: will be writing about it throughout the week this week.) And, spent the weekend catching up on random errands and readjusting our body clocks to Central Standard Time.

We landed to a brisk but decently warm day filled with sunshine and made the most of the weather and the empty roads by:
  1. picking up shoes from the cobbler
  2. picking up pants from the tailor
  3. picking up mail
  4. buying a Christmas tree
We came home and unloaded the tree and put it into a stand which we filled with water. We'll have to decorate it one night this week since we're off to see friends this upcoming weekend.

We fell asleep early Saturday night. And, forced ourselves to sleep through until about seven on Sunday morning. Sunday, we:
  1. tried on the pants (welcome to maternity wear)
  2. tried on a bunch of maternity clothes a friend gave us
  3. changed the car tires to snow tires
  4. got a car wash
  5. went to the gym (whoopee!)
  6. roasted a chicken for dinner
We fell asleep early Sunday night too. And, made it until 3:47 this morning which is only 13 minutes ahead of the alarm clock.

And, it's back to work and day-to-day life and holiday preparation. It snowed last night so we woke to whiteness and that quiet that snow brings.


Cheers!
