As usual, the enemy this year was busyness. Being busy is not necessarily a bad thing. We are thankful to be busy at our jobs, than be out of work. We are thankful to be busy doing home repairs and improvements, than to be homeless. The big cost this year was a new water line. Just so you know, regular home owner’s insurance does not cover that. We also are busy with school, but can now see the finish line, May 2012, which of course means looking to new goals, after a bit of celebration.

I took the last of my family, that was visiting for the holidays, to the airport at 5 am this morning. The house is fairly quiet, except for the washing machine and dryer, which will be cleaning and drying sheets and towels all day. My wife and I have our offices and bedroom back, and over the next week, or so, I will be taking down and packing up all the Christmas decorations. I am back to work, but fortunately my seminary semester has not yet begun, as I am fighting off the shared cold of my sisters-in-law, I think it will be at least a week before we are fully back to “normal” around the house.
