So, we had big plans this year for our Christmas holiday. As most of you know we were stationed at Ft. Lewis for 3 years before our short Missouri adventure and now we are back here in the wonderful gray PNW. Before Nora arrived on the scene, we had always planned to do all kinds of things that are specific to this area. Hike in the Olympic National Forest, camp on the Oregon coast, take a trip north to Victoria, BC. But when the time came to do it we ended up backing out or changing plans or choosing to just cuddle on the couch instead. Well, this time was going to be different. We moved back here and we were going to do all those things. "Were" being the key word in that sentence.
Our Christmas weekend was supposed to be spent in Victoria BC this year, however we ended up cuddling on the couch once more. Early in the week both Phil and Nora were sick and it seemed inevitable that I would get sick too. In light of the money that was going to be spent, the energy we would exhaust trying to pack Nora around Victoria in the winter, and especially considering it was likely that all three of us would be sick for at least part of the trip; we canceled. And in true Ambrose family fashion we cuddled on the couch instead.
As it turned out, I did get sick. Thankfully, Nora is better, so it is only Phil and I battling our colds together. It was a cozy Christmas just the three of us. Someday we will follow through with our plans....someday.
