After Christmas

When I was younger I loved Christmas, I would get so excited I would make myself sick. I have grown out of that and still look forward to the season but I don't know if I would say I love it anymore maybe enjoy is a better verb. I think as I have gotten older Christmas has definetly become more about being with family. And I decided that I love my family and my soon-to-be family they are all great. Andrew officially saved Christmas this year bringing over the ham and helping to get me involved cooking. He also danced with me and my Mom, I mean it was great we were dancing around like ballroom dancers in the kitchen.

Half an Hour Left

Down to the last half hour of work then to the rec to work out then home to clean up my room/organize and read..no one is in town to hang out so its a night of chillin by myself.
This last weekend was great on Saturday Simon graduated and it was a great day of celebrating and honoring him. It was so much fun to be around people who love both of us, it makes me that much more excited for the wedding.
Sunday we went to church at the Salvation Army to watch Michelle( my lil sis) sing. It was great to be in a small church where it felt like a family. We went to see Chronicles of Narnia which is a must-see for all. Don't be worried if you have read the books this movie captures it all. I loved Lucy! My roommates had a gift exchange, that I forgot about, but I got to open my gifts when I got home anyways. A pair of earrings from Leslie and Laura and a Blockbuster gift card from Haave. Then Jason made an amazing meal where I ate way too much and probably drank too much too. There was ham, twice-baked potatoes, a wild rice concotion, salad, rolls, wine and of course really good friends. It was a great way to finish off the weekend.

Fast Post

Meg, I will call you tonight! I promise:) I have been working on filing articles all morning and soon will have lunch with Missy and Emily...I am excited:) Although part of my morning has been spent putting all the weddings I have coming up and my friends birthdays in my nifty calender/planner thingy I got this morning. I get stuff all the time here, its like Christmas every day...although I am unsure if normal people would be excited about a calender...so if you are having a wedding this summer let me know...I will put it in my new planner:) ok thats it for now..I will probably post more this afternoon.

Christmas Shopping and Simon's Graduation

Hello all
I know I am horrible at posting...decided I would go with a few of my thoughts for the day, sice I am bored out of my mind at work. I have decided to leave work early and hopefully beat the Christmas Rush this afternoon to go shopping. Another semester is done...which means I only have two more left, which for me is scary and exciting. I am excited about a lot of my classes next semester so that will also be very good.
Lately I have been thinking about how God provides...two times this month I have been really low on cash, and both times God has pulled through. First with a Christmas bonus I didn't know about and then with $120 from selling back my books, I never would have made it to my Teach For America check tomorrow if it hadn't been for those two other things. I guess that makes me think about trust, I am pretty sure I have no idea how to trust in God because whenever Simon tells me he doesn't know when he is going to get paid it scares the hell out of me. I don't really know how you develop a stronger sense of trust for things like money...especially for someone like me who either thinks it is either there or not.
