Well, Brent and I have survived Christmas 2007! We had our first real experience of trying to spend the holidays with both families - the fiasco that all of my married friends used to to talk about. It was well worth trying to "do it all." We got to visit my family out in Baltimore, Maryland for about 5 days, and then flew out on the 24th to get back here to Oregon to do Christmas morning with Brent's family. The gifts we hauled all over Asia were well worth it. It seemed everyone appreciated a token of our trip, and it was fun to share some of the trip with them in that way.
