My grown-up Christmas list

I made a list for Russ of what I want for Christmas.  This is what it consists of:

-a rolling pin
-Christmas themed cookie cutters
-a good haircut
-a nice pair of work shoes
-pony tail holders
-flower hair clips


One of my mission companions once said that you know you're a grown-up when you start asking for what you need as gifts instead of what you want.  I guess I don't really need Christmas themed cookie cutters or flower hair clips, but I had to chuckle that I have a haircut on my list.

After I showed Russ my list he told me his:

-children in our home
-a wife who's not so tired
-a better job

Melt my heart.  I married such a wonderful guy.  Here all my wishes were material things and he wishes only for the betterment of his family.  #1 will hopefully happen within the next few months as we pursue foster care.  #2 probably won't happen until I don't have to work anymore, but I'll sure make an effort to try and have more energy since it means so much to him.  #3 we are always hoping and praying for and with an upcoming job interview one can only hope for the best!  Maybe all our Christmas wishes will actually come true!
