07:53PM -- I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving. My boys and I spent a few hours with my mom and some of the family, then we came home and that's where we stayed the rest of the day.
On Friday, I drove to Charlottesville and ordered mine and Larry's headstone. They will send me a proof before doing the actual engraving to make sure everything is correct, especially our online nicks, which Larry wanted included after I asked him about having them added. He thought it was an "excellent idea". He called me "mickieb" most of the time throughout our 9+ years together.
Under normal circumstances, I would have put up our 7½ foot Christmas tree today. As I'm sure many of you know, this is a difficult time for me. Most of my friends are busy with their own lives right now...especially with family. For me...my heart just isn't in it this year. I'm thinking of buying a small pre-lit, 4 foot tree and adding some of mine and Larry's favorite decorations from over the years. I've also purchased two ornaments. One has a verse that states if I could build a staircase to heaven, I'd bring him back home, and the other is a gold wreath frame with a USA flag bow that I will put his picture in. Chris and Richard are having a hard time with it this year also. I'll put up a tree -- in honor of Larry -- but I don't think I can handle putting up our tree this year.
