Christmas this year 2008

I have finish all the shopping and have decided to set a place a dinner table for my daughter Khrsity this year. I feel she wants to be with  me this Christmas. So far Peter doesn't think that is crazy but don't know how his daughter is going to take it for she is the only one coming to eat. Well going out shopping for the Chiristmas meal today. Tonight going out to eat with the gang at work which the employer is paying , our Christmas present from her. My mind is doing ok, I was feeling depressed earlier in the week, but while I was on my way home from doing errands I decided I really needed to see my family in the USA, three years to too many years for me to be away. Don't know how I am going to get there but I am going in June of 2009. I just know God will provide someway for me to get there. I am going to start saving now and checking airline flights for the cheapest..... So that has lifted my spirits a lot. I have told me brother and mom about my decision but haven't told Jessica yet( I know she will be thrilled) As soon as the new calender comes up at work I am putting my 3 weeks off to visit. Now I am feeling my days with thoughts of planning and getting a budget to see how much money we actually need. My brother has offered his car so we don't have to rent one while we are there and his house for us to stay. I have a great brother. My son is still not talking to me, hoping he will come around at some point. Merry Christmas to all
