... Working/Serving at 11 Christmas Eve Services at Orchard Hill Church. My family and I have served at Christmas Eve services for the past 11 years (longer for my parents). I started to cry during the candle-lighting, when I thought of not being there for Christmas next year.
... Being surrounded by family. This is what I will miss the most about Christmas next year. Even if it means going to 3 different houses on Christmas Day, I'd rather run around like a fool seeing lots of people that I love than be without them.
... Chasing 2 puppies and 3 little girls while helping to cook dinner at my dad's parents house the day-after Christmas. All the while laughing, sharing stories, and talking about the Steelers likelihood of making it to the Super Bowl this year.
