So it is the day before christmas. We aren't going to be home tomorrow. I don't exactly know how to handle it, well I should say, I didn't know how to handle it. You can't look at something like this and say 'oh its the first time I won't...*fill in the blank*' You need to look at it like this: 'This is the start of something new. Sure I won't be home, but I get to start doing *fill in the blank* here.'
For instance: I get to spend Christmas with Andrea. We are starting a new life down here in Wichita, and it will be great. We don't have to worry about running to each others house and having three meals on Christmas. Yeah, it was fun the first couple of years. But we did it for seven years in a row. Between that and Thanksgiving, we could easily put on five to seven pounds each day respectivly. Now? Now we have a cornish game hen for Thanksgiving with stuffing and potatoes. Just enough for the two of us. Tomorrow night? Are we having turkey? No. Are we having ham? No. Are we having turkey ham? No. We are cooking steaks. That is right, STEAKS! Cheap strip steaks. That could be a new holiday tradition right there. Steak for Chirstmas dinner!
Yes, we are both going to miss being with our families tomorrow, you really can't lie about that. But this was much eaiser, plus I couldn't get time off of work. I'm telling ya, moving away has it's advantages. You can do whatever you want and start a new tradition.
