Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are…
Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect Tomorrow.
One day I shall dig my nails into the earth,
or bury my face in my pillow,
or stretch myself taut, or raise my hands to the sky
and want, more than all the world, your return.

Happy New Year!

Christmas was wonderful.  Unfortunately, Christmas night, Mark caught the virus from H*** and now Mark and I are both sick.  I'm praying like crazy that this horrible virus stops with us and that Rebekah, Jacob and Julianna do not get it.  (Unfortunately Matt & Jason both caught it, but they're thankfully doing better now.)  I have rarely in my life been this sick with this awful of a virus.  For that, I will be thankful.

Rebekah leaves tomorrow.  I'll leave it there as I am over-emotional anyway from a lack of sleep and being sick forever, not to mention losing a week of vacation to feeling like I would have to die to feel better.  I'm really, really going to miss her though.  Really.

Tomorrow's Mark's and my Anniversary.  Twenty seven years.  Some years fly by, some you earn your stripes, I don't mean that in a bad way, it's just true.  Whichever they are, I'm truly thankful for every one we've shared together and looking forward to the year to come.

Two days of vacation left.  Here's hoping we miraculously wake up healthy. 

Hope you have a great New Year's and that 2011 is full of wonderful things--for all of us.

xoxo
Stacey

Oh no! I hope you ARE miraculously feel better today. We have lots of nasty stuff rolling around our house too. First it was the stomach virus, which thankfully only lasted a day or two, but now it is colds. Boo.

I love the "some years you earn your stripes". That is SO TRUE.

Happy Anniversary!!!!


And happy new year too!
