Well, Christmas is 14 days away....can you believe it? I can't! I am happy to say that I am almost completely done with my shopping though! I have never in my life been this organized at the holidays! I've got almost all the gifts wrapped and ready to go too! It is very exciting! We are here in Atlanta on Christmas day and then we fly out on the 26th to go to Carleton to visit the Calkins! It should be perfect!
Here is a picture of our tree and mantle....aren't they pretty?
We are hoping this will be the last Christmas in this house.....
In other news, I went back for my follow-up knee appointment and my surgery is all set and ready to go. It will be on March 10th, 2008 (I have a vacation planned the last week in Feb.) and I will need 6 months of recovery. Ugh. Could that be anymore depressing? I had my breakdown after the appointment last week...I am doing better now. I thought this was so hard when I was a child at 12 and 13 years old, but that was a piece of cake! I mean, I got to lay around all day watching TV while my parents took wonderful care of me and waited on me hand and foot. But now, I am 29 - I have a husband, a job, a dog....ugh. Don't get me wrong I know Bruce will take amazing care of me, like he always does - but I am going to go NUTS not being able to do anything!!! I am expected to be home and out of work for a month.....A MONTH! Thankfully, I have an incredible boss who is letting me work from home and I do not have to take out short term disability and I still get my paycheck! I am a lucky girl! Anyway, I will keep you updated as it gets closer to the day and I am sure I will be blogging a lot from my couch that month I'm out of work! :)
Well, I think that is it for the time being...I hope everyone is having a very wonderful week!
Much love, Carrie
