Christmas

Somehow I made it thru Christmas in one piece. Not without a few tears of course. Thank God my husband understands. He completely surprised me by taking me out on Christmas Eve. We went to get presents for our animals and he took me to one of my favorite restaurants, Maggiano's for dinner. He even took me shopping and bought me two sweaters and a pair of pants. I think he really tried to make it special because it was our first Christmas as husband and wife. As he was holding my hand walking into the mall he turned to me and said he was so happy to be married to me and what a great ride it's been so far. I know neither of us are perfect but it meant a lot to me. He's a pretty manly guy and doesn't get too mushy usually. Today he made sure to get us two "Our First Christmas 2009" ornaments. We couldn't find any on Christmas Eve but he found them today. He apologized that he bought them on sale! Silly goose! That stuff doesn't matter to me. It's the little things. I don't need the fancy jewelry or luxurious vacations. I love that if he sees a book or movie he thinks I'll like, he'll get it for me. I'm just happy he thinks of me. I'm not a materialistic person, never have been. He knows this. Just the fact that he puts thought into things matters. He knew I needed to be busy on Christmas Eve and got me out of the house and my mind off things. I'm not sure how far in advance he planned it or if me getting only two hours of sleep and crying my eyes out that morning started the wheels turning. Doesn't matter. Matters that I was with him and we had a great day. Christmas Day was okay too. I woke up with a cold and he let me sleep in instead of cooking breakfast like I had planned. My friend was kind enough to open her family celebration to us, seeing as no family members wanted us around. Their loss. Although I did send both sets of grandparents a Christmas card and wrote inside that no matter what I loved them regardless. I think it should've gotten there on Christmas Eve. But I was with my love so we could've been anywhere and had fun. Next year I hope to be a little strongr and less weepy but who knows. Thank you baby for being my hero.
