Break thus far

The past few days have been PACKED. I've had things to do every night, which has been good but also tiring! Three Christmas get togethers and one hang out with friends tonight. It has been a lot but it's been nice to see so many people. I've been sick so that made it a little harder to go out, but amidst the craziness I've had time to rest as well.

I'm trying to stay focused on the season and what this season means. It can get hard when there are tons of distractions, even if they're good distractions. I'm thankful that God is a good God and that he gave us Christ, the greatest gift of all. In church Doug talked about Christ being the most personal, intimate, and practical gift we could ever be given. I liked the reminder.

I'll be home for Christmas...

I'm home for Christmas! The 11 hour drive was good. I sang and talked and thought and then sang a lot more. The wood stove was burning when I walked into my house, which was perfect. Dad was super talkative tonight and we had some good conversations. Yay for being home and not having homework! Now I cannot wait to sleep in my bed.
