’Twas the week before Christmas and 70 degrees
No snowflakes in sight, just a nice coastal breeze As we planned for our trip to our beloved buckeye state The weather app told us of snow on our arrival date We shivered at the thought -- tropical drinks in hand Snow and ice somehow doesn't sound as fun as sun and sand Despite the weather, we decided that we would surely go For it had been too long since we had seen the faces of those we know So onward to that state up north -- over 1500 miles away Where first there'll be a celebration for my big brother's birthday Then onward even further north, to Will's family we go And a mandatory stop at the Kent bars regardless of snow There'll be shenanigans and Great Lakes beer and Swensons galore And the next day Will will insist that we have Swensons once more A Christmas Eve with beloved family and a white elephant game Then on to a Christmas Eve party where everybody knows your name Christmas morning with my family -- nieces and doggies in tow Despite my aversion to the cold, I hope for them it snows The day will be filled with games, laughter, love and wonderful meals And many touching moments that will give me "all the feels" Then to the great Columbus where my best of friends dwell For a night of great debauchery with the ones who know me so well We’ll pick up right where we left off, despite so much being new And our time together will end too soon, as it always tends to do My dear Ohio, we miss you so, despite loving where we are We wish we could move you all down here so you weren’t so very far But for now we’ll enjoy our time up north with friends and family For we’ve missed them more than words can say and in our hearts they’ll always be

JamieI'm an "adult," or so I've been told. I do "adult" things, I have an "adult" job, I pay bills, and I drink bourbon and wine. I have great friends and family, an amazing husband, and generally a pretty good life. I have achieved many things, yet so little at the same time. I'm in my 30s, yet I feel more clueless than when I graduated college. This is how I "adult." Archives
