Please tell me that I didn't just type that! It cannot already be mid-November.
Holidays in the Farrar household are different now that we are trying to become a family of (at least) three. In the past it was all about getting to the homes of both sides of our family, eating as much as we could stuff in, and then going back home to sleep off the food coma. Now the holidays feel a little bit empty and less special. This opinion represents my view only (Sarah), but I am pretty sure John feels at least similar. Our nephew is basically all that keeps things exciting around the holidays. He is almost two and a serious motivation in our quest to become parents.
It isn't that I don't enjoy the holidays just because we aren't parents. It is more of a sense of something missing. Of course we have amazing and supportive people on both sides of our family, who we always look forward to seeing on Thanksgiving and Christmas, so I really can't complain. I like to think this isn't a complaint post, it is just a post about working out my feelings on getting through yet another holiday season without someone considering us his or her parents.
Oh, holidays! May you fill our lives with glorious calorie ridden food, naps, family, and even a little televised football for John. I can only hope you will also bring the third member of our family along with you.
The Frank Turner show was amazing by the way. I am a changed woman! I sang my face off and left exhausted yet exhilarated. Guess what? We are doing it all over again tomorrow night! Yes, we bought tickets to the next closest show. John is such a good husband, indulging my music obsession like that. Cheers to John for being awesome!
