I'll tell you all about our wonderful holiday adventures..........
For Thanksgiving we drove to Cincinnati to see my family. The car ride was GREAT going up there because we left after dinner and drove all night while the kids slept. Or should I say DAN drove all night. I think I drove about 2 1/2 hours during the 13 hour trek. I just COULD NOT stay awake! Dan, I know, I'm a wimp and yes, you are the driving KING! Anyway, we got there safe and sound, but NEVER recovered from that night of driving. With my family, we just play and play and play. Like my Dad has always said, "A family that plays together, stays together!" I love you, Dad! We had the BEST time! We stayed at my sister, Heather's, house I just LOVED getting to know my sweet little nephew. He is SO cute! We messed her house up, ate her food, and did a TON of laundry. Thanks, Heathie...I love you!
During our fantastic week, Heather and I were able to do what we have always wanted to do together.....record a CD! It was such an amazing, spiritual experience. I just love working with Heather. We are like two peas in a pod. I am so proud of what we accomplished, especially Heather. She wrote the most beautiful, true, heartfelt song I've ever heard. Yes, she actually WROTE it.......music AND lyrics. The first time I heard it, I felt the Spirit and I knew she was inspired. Heather also arranged some of the other pieces and some of her old college friends arranged a couple as well. It was A LOT of hard work and took A LOT of time, but it was definitely worth it!
