Things are getting closer...

Our little baby is just a couple of weeks away. It's starting to feel so close, yet it still seems that time can't fly fast enough. I can hardly believe that Jon and I will soon have this tiny little being in our home. I know that this next month of December is going to speed right by. We're planning on traveling to Idaho for the first weekend of January, which I am ecstatic about. I'll get to see my beautiful new niece be blessed and her older sister get baptized! I am so grateful that Jon and I will be able to witness such special events. I am so excited about seeing my family together. And of course to have them meet our little baby too.

Jon isn't far away from finishing another semester of school. He's doing such a great job! I feel so lucky. I often forget about Jon ever having homework because he's able to do most of it when I'm gone at work. I never have to find something to do that won't be distracting to him while he's studying or working on school work. We're always able to spend our evenings together. I'm really grateful for that! I love spending time with him and I appreciate the time we have to spend with each other. I feel so lucky that I can easily forget about Jon's school work because it doesn't take time away from us being together.

We put our Christmas decorations up yesterday. It didn't take too long considering the small amount of space we have to decorate. The tree is up and decorated, although it still needs a skirt. Hopefully I can get that project started soon. And then we have a few other Christmas things around. I still have some more Christmas shopping to do, which I hope I can complete before the baby arrives. I'm not convinced I'll be feeling like doing much Christmas shopping the days after Baby Williams comes. Jon and I picked out a couple of ornaments yesterday. We got one for the two of us, and then one for the baby. Thanks to Hallmark, we were able to find a cute "Baby's First Christmas" ornament that easily works for either a girl or boy. Christmas is going to be a lot of fun again this year. It will definitely be very different, but very fun!

Well, I'm off. I did put a poll up at the top right so vote on whether you think we'll have a boy or girl.
