I have been incredibly sick. I have been horrifically sick. I hate being sick and it literally irritates the bananas out of me, but it is what it is.

This being said, I don't know what I feel about Christmas this year. I feel incomplete, if that makes sense at all. I feel like the Christmas story hasn't been focused on or perfected enough. I feel like I've barely started writing December, let alone the notion of Christmas.

I have immensely loved being with my children and husband. Our days have been filled with laughter, smiles, cuddles and closeness. I have stayed as far away from my phone as humanly possible. I suppose the deployment caused phone burn out.

Life is good. Despite the sickness aspect. I feel so thankful to be with my whole family again. I am blessed beyond measure.
