Here comes Santa...

Well, an entire month or so has passed with no news from the Ensley Household. It doesn't mean we have no news, just that I have been too busy to post what we have done. Thanksgiving has already come and gone. We were blessed to have Mawmaw Keller join us in November for a visit. I do treasure my time with her. She left on December 1, and the countdown for my Mom, Dana, and the boys started. They will be here in 8 days. I am so excited about their visit. It will be the first time flying for all of them. Mom is a bit worried, but I think with a strong drink, she will make it through. They will hit the ground running. I have so much planned for them to see and do. With us moving in May, I know they will not make it out to CA for another trip any time soon. So, we have to make this one worthwhile. I will definitely be posting pics of that trip.

As for Mawmaw's trip out to CA...it was a little more relaxed. I ran her ragged the last time she was out 2 years ago. So, she graciously said she would like to stay around the house and spend time with us. I did manage to whisk her off to Yosemite in the freezing snow. I know she loved that. LOL It was beautiful this time of year. I was very lucky to have the opportunity to visit while the mountains were covered with snow. It is hard to describe to someone how beautiful a place like Yosemite is. It is truly breathtaking.

For now, I am playing catch up. I volunteer two days a week in Sarah's class. I have to take the other 3 days and recoop. LOL I do admire her teacher for showing up everyday. I wish I could, but it does take a special soul to teach 5 year olds. I do not have this soul. :) I have yet to decide what I want to be when I grow up. So for now, I piddle around in a few things. I have a true passion for Photography. I try to learn as much as I can about it. We will see where that takes me in life. If nothing ever comes of it, at least I enjoy every moment of taking photos.

I am counting down the days until I can hang with Jessica. When family visits end and everyone goes back to the norm, we will start our moving list. We will have lots to do before May. It will be here before we know it. I am excited and a bit nervous. Maybe that is the "giddy" feeling I have when I think of it. Mostly I am excited, but there is some hesitation about living in another country. Everyone knows I am a talker. What do you talk about to someone that doesn't understand a word you are saying? It is the little things in life that worry me the most. LOL Oh, well, I will save that worry for another day. As for now I am headed to bed to get up early and do it all over again. I hope everyone has a wonderful week.
