I found out last week I didn't get my Christmas wish... I get pretty down around this time of month. I know God has a plan for us and His timing is perfect! It doesn't help though when I start to feel this way, I get so sad and upset and wonder why all these other people and not me Lord? I guess I just have to keep praying and reminding myself that God has us in His hands and He will provide for me one way or another.
On a different note, we had a fantastic Christmas with my family in Oklahoma City. We had my brother and his wife down from Tulsa and spent the day together with them! My favorite present of the day was my TomTom from my parents! So excited about it! I was even more excited that I got to put it to good use when we went down to Plano the following week! We left OKC on Monday, Plano bound, we spent time with the in-laws and Grandma Tribuzi for the first two days. Tuesday the 30th was our two year anniversary!!! I can not believe how fast time flies. I am so grateful for my amazing husband who loves and supports me, who provides for me and makes me laugh. I look forward to the rest of our life! Back to the story, so that night Chris took me out to dinner at a Brazilian steak house called Rafains. It was fabulous!! Chris got a Wii for our anniversary and I got a beautiful red coat! So excited about it!
On Wednesday, Andrea, Chris's sister, arrived from New Zealand where she had travelled with Uncle Mark. I have to admit I was uber jealous as I really want to see New Zealand. It was fun to see her pictures and places where Lord of the Rings was filmed. New Year's Eve we had some of the aunts and uncles and cousins over for dinner, then Chris, myself, Andrea, Dan and his girlfriend Lauren went downtown to the AA center. I must admit I was frozen and didn't not enjoy the cold and people pushing me around. Maybe next year a little more low key.
Thursday I got to have lunch with one of my best friends and favorite people, Joni. It was her birthday on Wednesday so we went to lunch and I was able to give her the hilarious birthday card I got for her. We had a terrific time! I bought a pair of boots with her, she brings out the shopaholic in me. :) (not that it needs too much persuasion)
Friday we were pretty lazy, which I LOVED, and then that evening Chris, Andrea and I met up with Joni and Dan and Lauren again and headed to a sports bar called Flips. Chris was up way past his bedtime, we were grateful for him sacrificing his sleep to be with us and drive.
Lastly Saturday was uncle Kurt's surprise 50th birthday party with his brother-in-law Dave and father-in-law Wally. We had the most delicious Greek food and had a lot of fun chatting with family.
Chris and I headed back to OKC yesterday, we got in around 4:30 and were so glad to be home and in our own bed. I love family time but nothing beats getting home to YOUR bed.
The New Year has started off well, my prayer for this year is that God will continue to bless Chris and I in our marriage and life in OKC, I pray for patience in God's timing, guidance in molding me into the best person I can be and for peace to deal with whatever comes our way this year. May God bless you and your life, may He always remind you He is never far and may He shower down blessings on you.
Love you!

It sounds like you guys had a good holiday break! I'm sorry that things aren't quite working out the way that you are hoping...I know that is heartbreaking. Have faith that it will happen in His time, which is always better than ours.
