Two years ago at Thanksgiving, we got together with Luke’s whole family to celebrate an early Christmas together. Since I was 7 months pregnant, we could not travel far from home. I was grateful and felt very special when I learned that Luke’s family was willing to drive all the way from Mississippi and Tennessee all the way to Pennsylvania to spend time with us!

I took on the project of handling almost all the planning of this gathering of 21 people. I did research for cabins, along with planning the food, events, and sleeping arrangements. It was a busy couple of months, but guess what?!

I thoroughly enjoyed myself! We had a great time together (even though it went way to fast), and on top of that, I learned how much I like to plan! I doubt I’ll ever be a professional planner, but it is cool to know that I can plan relatively well! You never know! That may come in handy some day!
