Christmas deco down; new attitude up!

Well, Robert didn't have to work today, so he volunteered to stay home with me and take down Christmas decorations. (He also took down the lights at Auntie Karen's and Mom & Dad C's!)

I don't know if any of my readers know this about me, but I've always struggled with a little bit of depression following the holidays. I think that the Lord spared me from that this year, as we've had such a tumultuous first year of marriage. Don't read that wrong; our marriage is wonderful! It's all the events we've had to endure this past year that has been hard on us. So, with this Christmas being the first one without Grandpa Crombie and Brandon, I think that we did okay. There were definitely moments of grief and sorrow, but there were more moments of happiness and joy than anything else.

So here's what I have decided on, with our decorations all coming down and being packed away: I need to make sure that I'm taking pride in my home, no matter what season it is. I need to not be so perfectionist-driven, and be happy with what I can accomplish in a day.

Thus fulfilling one of my goals for the New Year! :)

Here's a few pictures of Robert being a wonderful husband today (and always, really, but today especially!)
