How Did I Get Here?: Christmas and New Year 2022

I haven't written in many months and I should have because we had such a wonderful Christmas. Maggie drove up from Athens, Georgia and was able to spend a few days with us before Christmas. She was able to help us with last minute things and we even had time to get our hair cut. First time for Maggie in forever. Our stylist in Athens retired and Maggie didn't know who to go to. I suggested she go to my stylist I found here in Davenport. She was very happy with the results.

We went to Molly and Adrien's for Christmas and had fun cooking and opening presents.

Chase flew in the day after Christmas and then we all headed back to Davenport to spend the rest of our holiday vacation days. We were all looking forward to a Seven Dust concert on the 29th. We rented a van and bought a ticket for our neighbor so he could be our designated driver for the night. The rest of us got in free because Chase plays in a band with the Seven Dust bass player. It was a head banging good time!

We were able to go into the Green Room after the concert to hang out with Chase's friend. We had a good time.

The next thing on the agenda was to watch the Championship football game on New Years Eve, Georgia against TCU. After Georgia won, we had to wait an hour before midnight to celebrate the New Year. When midnight struck, we all started to celebrate when I heard Maggie say something like...is it happening now? I looked over to see this.

I yelled for everyone to get their phones out and take pictures! Pay no attention to the pile of treasures in the background. I will explain that in a later post. We knew this would eventually happen but we had no idea it would be at this moment. We all had watery eyes.
