Christmas in September

Since Jon will be deployed over this holiday season, we wanted to spend some time getting things ready for Christmas so he could be apart of it, and so that we could try to fool ourselves into thinking we aren't missing out on each other over the holiday. When Jon and I first started dating, I made him a Christmas ornament for his mini tree in his dorm room... it was so cute, and i'd post a picture except since his move out of the dorms, the ornament broke. :( but tonight, Jon and I made ornaments together for me to hang on the tree in December while i'm in Portales.

Call me crazy, but in my mind, I think it might help me get through Christmas knowing that he still had part in it... and when I look up at my grandma's tree I can think of tonight with us celebrating together and it make me feel better. I know this season is going to very difficult, but thankfully, i'm getting to go back to NM to be with my family... and after Christmas, I know i'll only have a few weeks till Jon comes back home. So i'm hoping the little things we do now help along the way.
