Memories

I would sum up my time in Oregon thus far as reflection. I have been thinking about my life up until now, collecting all of my fond memories and holding on to them for dear life. Because of the time of year, I have felt it appropriate to reminisce on past Christmases. Thinking about my siblings tip toeing into my room because they wanted me to see what Santa had brought...they never questioned whether he existed because of the evidence in the wrapping paper(it was always different than what my mom had used) so of course he was real. Or my dad's apron that he always wore while making early morning Christmas breakfast. Or the fact that I was the only person on the planet that got to participate in 9 Christmases because God blessed me with 4 parents and 10 grandparents. Well this year is going to be different in every aspect. We will only have one Christmas and it will only be Trey and I, so we have decided that we are going to start some new traditions. I am very excited...I don't know exactly what they will be so I will have to let you know afterwards but I do think it will involve sugar plums and apple cider. I wish you all the very merriest Christmas...Cherish one another!
