Holy cow! I can't believe it is already February 1....I've been putting off writing because it is hard to go through the holidays and birthdays and all of those special times without your +1. Now, however I think I'm up for it.
Christmas was a bit of a...well different than usual...spent some good quality time with the family the weekend before. This really helped to make being away from Justin during the Holidays a little easier.

After the family festivities, I had to head back home because I was slotted to work Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. On Christmas Eve I came home to an awesome surprise on my door step from my wonderful husband. He got me a pretty purple Coach purse. I love it...all of it's amazing pockets and dividers are so awesome. And the best part of all...he spent some quality time deciding just which purse to get me! And, he even asked two of my good friends for their opinions. Now I've got to say, this meant the world to me...just knowing that he spent the time and put in the thought to weigh out pros and cons of different purses until he decided on the one he thought was perfect for me! That is probably what makes this gift so meaningful to me. I may have cried when we Face Timed on Christmas Eve...not so much because of the purse itself...but because we were both away from our families, we were away from each other, and his simple act of thoughtfulness really made my night.
Christmas Day, however, was not quite so wonderful... I got hit with a terrible flu bug or gastritis or...well, they really weren't 100% sure what it was...but it landed me in the hospital on Christmas morning. NOT exactly how I'd planned to spend Christmas. Lucky for me, I was released and my wonderful parents came to get me and took me home to nurse me back to health! I was back to normal in a few short days!
