"Life, Love, and the Pursuit of Writing Well"
Kevin got a package today … and it wasn’t something he ordered.
And when he opened it?
It was a basket full of Godiva chocolates.
Someone loves us.
A lot.
I’m pretty sure they came from his old boss.
I shall kiss that man’s feet the next time I see him.

Jazz with his medal he earned with the band at the 2012 Renegade Review in Tulsa this past October.
The weather was awful that day – cold and rainy. Luckily, our kids were able to perform without getting rained on – there were two bands, when we were there, that weren’t so lucky. I felt so sorry for them.
We got through prelims, went out to dinner, and checked Twitter to see if the band director had posted the times our kids would be performing in finals.
They wouldn’t be performing – finals had been canceled because a wicked storm was coming in. (A storm that we drove three hours back home in – my fingers were sore from gripping the steering wheel so hard).
So … the kids didn’t get to perform. And they were all really disappointed. However, the officials tallied up the scores and our kids came in second overall. Jazz came home from school one day and proudly showed us his medal.
This medal made all of his hard work totally worth it.
And I was thrilled that the kids actually had something they could keep and remember the experience by.
I can’t place my finger on it … but something seems to be off …
LOL.
He’s keeping it. He thinks it’s “cool.” It types the right letter, it’s just printed wrong.
We put our tree up yesterday. It’s beautiful. We went with red and white lights this year. I also put up red bead garland.
It looks sort of like a candy cane.
It also looks old fashion and classy.
The boys were eager to decorate it. We love putting up our decorations because each one tells a story.
Believe it or not, my Christmas shopping is nearly done. I took advantage of online deals. This Christmas will be different for the boys. They are only getting a few gifts, but the gifts are awesome.
I wish Christmas was all year long.
