So it has been a crazy six months since I moved to Las Vegas. I have to admit, I really needed Christmas break, although it involved a lot of emotional up and downs for me. I loved spending time with Matt, Vanessa, the boys, and Mom and Dad in Houston, and going back to SC was wonderful. I have really missed my fuzzy kids, even when they drive me crazy. Second Christmas with Jessi and Peter was lots of fun too. I really enjoyed going to the St. George temple as a family. And then we got back to Vegas. Mom and Dad already know how hard that was on me. I was dreadfully homesick before they even left. Fortunately for me, if not for Mom and Dad, the Lord was taking care of me and let me have them both here a few extra days. It sure helped me, though I know Mom wasn't thrilled having to take the extra, unplanned, time off of work. All in all, it was an interesting, and emotional, Christmas break.
