The night before Christmas

I've been counting down to this date for EVER it feels like... and now it's actually here.

Tomorrow I fly to Barcelona with my G&G, meet up with Natalie, and begin the cruise of
 dreams.  This little paper has hung in my walk-in closet for over 3 months - and here we are!

Quick run down for family history's sake:
  • Adrie starting singing "stories, stories" and hitting her fist into her open hand.  Any guesses on where she learned Book of Mormon stories?  Wasn't from me!
  • I had/have Shingles.  Wasn't the worst experience of my life, but definitely a long, drawn-out exhaustion + itchy sores + numb midsection + achey joints = sucks.  Particularly with the cruise of dreams looming.
  • After begging for the "Lie-King" for months, I finally borrowed it and Adrie & I watched it twice in one day.  (No energy from shingles = lazy parenting.)
  • I ate a whole jar of dill spears yesterday
  • I bought another jar for tonight
Life is good!  Enjoy your Thanksgiving Turkey while I am eating Gelato in Sicily!

PS - here's a picture I stole from my cousin Corey, since I haven't taken any of my own recently:

WHOOOOOOP. I have a sinking feeling I'll get to Barcelona before I remember that really crucial thing left at home.
