Going a bit off course this week. Here's your throwback photo, but this isn't me. It's my Mom.
Because hubs and I live in Ohio while my family resides in Texas (and his in Florida), it isn't always possible to get home for the holidays. Between me in a new job (and not having any vacation time), and the extraordinary cost for travel (plane tickets, hotel room, rental car, etc), hubs and I opted to stay home for Christmas this year. We haven't had a Christmas day in our home yet, so this will be lovely yet tinged with that feeling of homesickness that rears its head (especially around the holidays). It's hard for all of our parents, and it's hard for us too. Unfortunately, it's one of those rough adult things we just have to deal with.
In its stead, please dear Parents, know we love you and miss you. I'm sorry we can't be there, but in a way we are.
Sending our love from Ohio,
M&M
