Joe and I are knee deep in preparations for our trip to Northern California tonight. Get this…we’re getting up and heading out at 6am tomorrow morning! OK…so that’s the goal…and you know us. I have all of the presents wrapped and am just finishing up two loads of laundry so that we have clothes to bring. All we need to do is pack and get everything into the Tribute. Hopefully everything will fit!

I wanted to take a moment to wish you all a very merry and blessed Christmas. Joe and I are thankful for all that we have (including all of you as friends!) and are grateful to be surrounded by family this holiday season. It really is the most wonderful time of the year. Stay safe and warm…we’ll see you in 2006!
