One more Christmas stateside...

It dawned on me today that we would be in New Zealand today if things had gone as we had planned. I chuckled when I think about how we had thought we were in control!!! So instead we'll cherish one more Christmas with friends and family in Kentucky. Grammy is with us and Mimi will join us on Christmas day. Billy and I were also able to participate in the Christmas Musical Celebration at church which is always awesome!!!
Next week we expect to ship our belongings. With an 8-12 week transit time, we'd like to give it as much of a headstart as possible so that we don't have to "rough it" for too terribly long.
Today marks four weeks since the email we received on Thanksgiving that said we'd hear something in 4-6 weeks. I'm hoping that we will hear something any day!!! Billy isn't as positive. He's thinking maybe mid-January.
So on this eve of Christmas Eve, I'm going to try to keep my eyes on the manger, the birth of my Savior, and savor this Christmas gift of being with friends and family one more year.

May you all have a most blessed Christmas and a very Happy New Year!!!
