Our Merry Christmas!

Somewhere in the chaos of creating the perfect Christmas season, "it" hit. The kids, the decorating, the shopping, the wrapping, the phone calls from family members all day long, and the school holiday party planning, etc. had all overwhelmed me. I was feeling crazy - like I could never pull off a happy Christmas full of memories for my family of 5, much less the expanded family of Soets & DeVries members. Truthfully, it had started a bit before holiday decor had come out...

My world had been seeming more cloudy than sunny for the past few months, but at the bottom of the crazy that was swallowing me up, Steve listened. I cried, bitched, yelled, laughed, and bitched about it all some more - and Steve listened.

In the end, he just gets me.

Through the day - Through the clouds

Through the monotony, the questions, the piles of clutter and never ending laundry, failed expectations, and much needed reality adjusments-

Steve gets me and I love him!

***And thanks to Steve, I got back to me again and we all had a very merry Christmas!
