From The Past: November 18, 2007

Last night I wrapped gifts for hours; Christmas gifts, plus gifts to use for prizes on Thanksgiving Day. I love to wrap, but my back hates it!

I am very anal when it comes to wrapping gifts. I have this unwritten rule that all gifts must be wrapped the day they are bought and at the very latest, the day after. I can’t stand to see piles of things that need to be wrapped because this is another job that has to be done.

After the gifts were wrapped, Ashley and I were going through her winter clothes at midnight! She needed something dressy to wear and I had not switched from her summer clothes to her winter clothes yet. I was lugging a box out of the utility room and pulling things from that, while also taking clothes from her closet and putting them into the box.

Yesterday, Andrew had a five-mile march. I’m sure it was grueling seeing that he had to carry all of his gear with him. I hope his feet are holding up! There are three phases to boot camp and today is the end of phase 1. I am so glad! This is milestone one; only two more to go.
