Christmas lights

Tonight we ventured into River Oaks to look at Christmas lights.
This year will be my first Christmas away from home. For 38 years, I've celebrated the holiday with my parents. I've always been particular about traditions. 
Time to establish some new ones and see how others mark the observance. 

Starting a blog and keeping up with it

So I told myself that during my vacation this year, I would start a blog so I'm doing just that! I read somewhere, I can't remember exactly, that a blog is a tool that can help you maintain more balance in your life. Well, I need more balance, so here it goes!
I started one last year when my dad got sick, but it was too painful to keep up with. Now that he's been gone for 9 months, I see this blog as a way to share stories about him and recount precious memories.
I also want this blog to be a way for me to capture my favorite things and people. There are so many of them!
