We're having a fine Christmas with Court's family. There has been minimal drama, for which we are grateful. Things are quite improved from last year.Court's grandfather, who broke his hip and shattered his elbow nine weeks ago, was able to come home for the day. It is good to see him. He's lost a lot of weight but otherwise is doing well.
The kids had major parts in the church Christmas Eve service, so we went. Court's dad introduced me to the minister as Court's "spouse." This is huge. The minister was very welcoming. We were impressed.
Court gave me a Christmas gift for the ages: a gift-certificate for eight laps in a Sprint Cup car at a track of my choosing. I'd love to do it at Talledega, but I'll most likely cash it in at Lowe's Motor Speedway in Concord, NC. I am so excited.
We took the kids to see Marley & Me. It's a good movie, but has a sadder ending than My Dog Skip. There wasn't a dry eye in the theater. Even Amanda cried, and she has emotions of steel.
We're taking it easy today. Tomorrow we are headed to Hot Springs for the Mid-America Science Museum.

Can you believe they released that movie on CHRISTMAS? What a sad way to end the day.
How very cool that you were introduced (and accepted as) Court's spouse.
Sounds like it's a great time all around. I'm happy for you guys.
How wonderful on all of it: from the release from care to be with family for Xmas, to the "spouse" thing, etc. Hell, even the NASCAR thing is groovy ; -).
Yippee!!
I am so jealous of the Nascar thing. Yay, for you!!
