As a general rule, I don’t really look forward to the month of January for multiple reasons.

This is Dave’s busiest month of work in the year due to the nature of his job. He works very long hours, especially towards the end of January. It gives me a glimmer into what life might be like for single moms and those whose spouse is serving in the military on deployment.

I also tend to feel some sadness about the Christmas Season being over. I LOVE the holiday season. I tend to love every time of year though for it’s different reasons. January is sometimes hard to love.

This January I have something really AWESOME to look forward to!!!

Rebecca’s family will be coming to town for Levi’s adoption finalization on January 27th!!

Her family will arrive on the 26th (17 days!!!) and spend the weekend with my parents. Since it is the end of January and Dave will most likely be working late during that time, I am packing up my girls and myself and we are going to go stay the weekend at my parents’ house too!

Rebecca has invited me to attend Levi’s adoption finalization which I am just thrilled about.

I cannot wait to see this precious baby boy officially become a part of their family forever!
