The Most Wonderful Time of The Year.

Today I am grateful that I know The Marsh and I will get through what is about to be the craziest time of year for us.

It's November.

Which means Thanksgiving is coming. and Christmas.

but on top of that we have Brey's birthday, which falls the monday after Thanksgiving this year. some years it actually falls on Thanksgiving itself. That's fun. not.

then we have Miss G's birthday. which is the week after Christmas.

awesome planning on our parts, no?

and while this will undoubtedly be a very exciting time for our babes, it also causes The Marsh to stress out a little bit in the money area. we're not exactly hurting, but between birthday presents and christmas presents and reaching the point when we're going to have to refill our oil tank again, he worries. which means he works.

a lot.

like yesterday he worked a 15 and a half hour day. and then today he worked a 12 and half hour day.

this isn't a fluke. he'll continue to work like this through the end of the year.

I'm already used to him working overtime, but this time of year it always borders a little on the crazy side.

However, I do understand why he does it. and every year we manage to get through it. just like we'll manage to get through it this year.

So i'm grateful that The Marsh and I have such a strong marriage. and that even though what is suppose to be the most wonderful time of the year usually ends up the loneliest time of year, we love each other enough to push through it, knowing it will all be worth it when january comes around and we're not completely broke.

Thanks for reading!
