Merry Christmas!

I may or may not blog any more between now and Christmas, so I wanted to take a moment to wish all of you a very merry Christmas.

First and foremost, Merry Christmas to the love of my life. I'm not always the easiest person to live with, so thanks for putting up with me and my moods and my stress and my silliness. Thanks for loving me. Merry Christmas, darling!

Merry Christmas to my boys. It's amazing how much you've both grown up and how much you've both accomplished since last Christmas. I'm looking forward to a couple of weeks of being home and playing and spending time with you.

Merry Christmas to my family--those that read this blog and those that don't. It's been a year of change and pulling together*, and I think we're closer than we were a year last Christmas. The monthly get-togethers have done wonders.

Merry Christmas to extended family. Even though we can't always see each other, we think about you all often--especially those of you on missions and going through difficult situations. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Last, but not least, Merry Christmas to my friends. You know who you are, and I appreciate your friendship more and more as the years go by.

Merry Christmas, and here's hoping for a wonderful and prosperous 2008!
