Guilty Conscience & Ramble

It's that time of year when you're suppose to be with your family. But this year since I'm spending Christmas in Austin, Texas with Josh and his family it feels a bit weird. I know they seem excited to have me there this year but I still feel bad that I haven't been to Sedalia lately to see my own family. With Josh's new job we should be able to get to Missouri soon. We have too.

I think a large part of me going to Austin this year is because we are moving there. I'm trying to adjust as much as possible because it's going to be a lot different for me now. Plus, to add on commuting. Ugh I don't even want to think about it. I'm going to have to really figure out how to get back and forth to Salt Lake city. Pluse since it's costing us soo much to move (money we don't have, really) I won't even have a car to drive in Austin since we are leaving mine in SLC for now. Really it will stay there. There is no way that car will ever make it to Texas, HA! So it's going to take some time before I can get one in Austin. So Josh and I are going to have to figure out how to get me back and forth to the airport with his work schedule. We're soo off the point of this blog!

Anyways, I've been asking Josh a lot what they do on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. It's going to be different not going to the Candlelight service like Brittany and I used to. That's certainly going to be a priority when we move is to find a Lutheran Church. I miss going and it's something I certainly want to get back into.

I'm going to have to fly on 3 flights tomorrow to get from Grand Forks, ND to Austin, TX. As long as I can get on each of them then I will be there by 1 PM. Which would be perfect and I could possibly get a quick nap when I get there. I'm sure I'm going to be exhausted. Josh said his Mom normally makes chicken tortilla soup (it's soo yummy and now that I have crockpot I can attempt to make it too) and people come by randomally. And then on Christmas afternoon we will go to his aunt and uncle's home for dinner. These are all people I already know so it's not like I'm meeting them all for the first time. I guess it feels wierd to be there with his family and not my own. I've never experienced that before. I guess I'm probably just worrying about nothing! I'll update tomorrow with my travel experience!
