Today was just a perfect day. Mike got up early with the dogs so I could sleep, and I actually slept till after seven o-clock! (Yes, this is a true miracle that I got to sleep past five.) I woke up to him making a breakfast that we got to enjoy together before David even thought about waking up.
We worked together to make a nice little Christmas dinner, and then we headed out to see Parental Guidance, which just came out today. My friend had given me three tickets to go to the Studio Movie Grill, so it worked out great and was a very enjoyable experience. We'd never been there before, but we absolutely loved it. Plus the movie was really, really great! I highly recommend it. I'm so glad David specifically requested that we go see it.
We woke up to a thunderstorm this morning and endured a pretty wet morning. We later walked out of the movie theater to SNOW! That's right, snow in Texas (and not just a little bit) on Christmas! David was just out in his shorts yesterday, and today we came home scrambling for gloves. David and Mike went for a long walk and threw some snow balls, then we took the dogs for an early evening walk in the snow, and then Mike and David had another snow ball fight.
Now we're sitting around the living room watching tv, playing with our new toys, and enjoying a fire in the fireplace. I just checked my facebook and read a message that made my day even better yet. It was from a friend who also studied in Argentina through Grace College, and she said that one of the gifts she opened this Christmas happened to be my book! Just hearing that was a gift to me. I told her to let me know when she's done reading it so I can fill her in on the latest. I truly thought that writing that book was about healing and closure. Little did I know it was just the beginning of finally seeing the pieces come together.
