Christmas time is here

So I'm sitting here realizing that Christmas is next week, LESS than a week away!! Holy cow!!!
The main feeling I have in my heart is gratitude this year. This has been the most incredible year of my life. I fell in love with my wonderful man and got engaged this year. He makes me laugh like no other and inspires me to try to be a better person and has just about the kindest heart of anyone I know. We bought our first house which I'm IN LOVE with. Its just perfect for our little family of two and whatever future kiddos that come along. There are such nice little things about the house like a walk in pantry, a HUGE mudroom that will be great for a kids art room, a family room with a cozy fireplace.
I have a wonderful large family myself who I love dearly and I'm blessed to have their support and love as Schmoop and I start our lives together. PLUS this year my family got bigger cause I got not only one gorgeous new niece Meghan but also Jasons family! Jason's got a twin brother, his amazing wife, thier gorgeous daughter, two very loving parents and some wonderful friends.
Jason also moved up to New Jersey from Virginia and we both got new jobs (mine is my dream job and I LOVE it!).
I was just sitting here reading my devotions about the birth of my Savior Jesus Christ and I'm just now realizing that I'll never really know the depth of love He has for me. Every time I think I know he blows me away with the plans He has for me and shows me another piece of the depth of love he holds for me.
Anyway my Christmas prayer for all you readers is that you get a glimpse of the love that our Lord holds for you, it will blow you away.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
Love,
Dirkey
