How is it that after 7 years of being married to my wonderful husband that I still get giddy and excited to do little things with him? The other day Chris said to me, " I can't wait for Christmas eve, so we can drink some wine by the fire, listen to some Christmas music, and put together the doll house for the girls." (We got the girls one of those really big doll houses for Christmas... shhhhh. :) Maybe since we spend so much time apart, the time we spend together is extra special. And to be completely honest, I don't think I could be married to a man that was home every night. I am so independent, I need my space. LOL It was really hard at home when Chris was always gone when the kids were younger, but now that they are getting older and playing together more, it is getting easier and easier.... Anyway, I am deviating from my original thought. So I had to break the bad news to Chris that he was working on Christmas eve, so, we are going to be putting together a doll house and drinking wine by the fire on December 23rd. :)
