Christmas on a Budget

Tis the time of year of peace and joy on earth! As it should be!!! Jeff and I have begun finding our way as this year has been super busy! As a reflection, 51 weeks ago, we were almost all boxed up to move on my birthday to Austin to begin what we believe would be our new life in South Texas as Jeff was to student teach in an area that would allow his foot to be in the door for a job come graduation. I was able to visit my family on a regular basis and see my sister almost twice a month and plan a wedding much easier than up in Lubbock. Jeff graduates and then gets a job offer with Frenship which of course he accepts and I begin my hunt for a job in Lubbock. This of course being our monthly travels to Lubbock. Days before marrying I get an interview with a LISD and barely a week happily married I interview and days later am offered what I call a job of a lifetime! Jeff is an amazing first year coach and I'm excited at being a PE TA getting to work with all grades not just in PE!!! Therefore, Christmas yet again is on a budget but I am the most excited about this year as I have been in about 5 years!!!! All most all gifts are homemade or INSANELY cheap. I almost bet this is the first year I've bought gifts with coupons too! LOL. I'm so excited to see everyone's face's this year (and I hope that all I've got comes in on time) so much so that I'd be perfectly happy not getting a thing! I'm too excited to see everyone face and to share the stories behind them all!! God has been good and answered every prayer above and beyond what we could have imagined even curious to see what other answers he has in mind for us! God bless you all with Good Will and Spirits!
