Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to all!!!

I love Christmas! I love our family time together and I love remembering that Jesus was born in a manger to know that he would grow up and die for ALL PEOPLE'S sins. For that I am certainly thankful!

These past couple of days I have been feeling SOOO much better! Thank God for answering prayers! Christmas Eve Eve me and my sister went to a friends house for their Christmas Eve Eve Party. It was so much fun to just hang out with them again! I have missed them! Then I went to my cousin's house because my cousins from TEXAS are HERE!!!!! I love them so much and wish I saw them more! IT was such a fun night we talked til 11:00pm ish and thats late for me ;) Last night was Christmas Eve when we as an immeadiate family have always done our Christmas. My sister and husband and nephew came over for a fabulous dinner my parents made. We had Red Lobster clam chowder for appetizer along with shrimp cocktail and garlic bread. Dad made fabulous steak for us and Mom made the fried potatoes! It was delish! We also had birthday cake for dessert! HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS! We also played games of dominoes. IT was so fun! IT is one of my most favorite nights of the year! Today we go to my aunt and uncle's for Christmas with that side of the family! I love love love this DAY!!!!!

I want to wish all a very Merry Christmas and I hope all have a blessed day!!!!

laughter really is the best medicine...

After a rough weekend and a rough couple of days I had a really fun night. I hung out with an amazing 8th grader and 5th grader. Kids (especially teens and pre teens) can be something crazy but there is just something about them that can make the child in you come out and play :)

I got to sit and hang out with them not babysit just hang out :) They made me laugh and laugh and laugh. I love this family. I used to be closer to them when I was younger but goodness it felt soo good to be back and just laugh with them.

Past couple days have just been rough....I have talked, and cried and cried some more. I have prayed for peace and a change of heart for situations that are present. I believe my prayer was starting to be answered just by the peace and laughter I felt tonight that I have not felt in a minute.

I am excited for this week!! MY cousins come tomorrow!!! They are so fun! I love family time!!!! Then Christmas Eve and Christmas!!!! I cannot believe it is so so soon. I love Christmas becasue we remember of Christ being born with the intention of saving us all from sin. I also love it becasue it does bring the family together and I really do love my family!

I love to cry it out....just my nature....but I love laughing more :)

Sometimes...

Somethings in life just are not fair. Things happen...I believe for a reason. I have had to learn that lately...even if I do not know the reason quite yet I have to trust in knowing it was for a reason. For me this week it has been school and work. I really need to pass this test in January so I can finally get started in the Teacher Education program. The test is January 7th and a  big deal. I have missed passing by 1 point! I just come so close and then it just doesn't happen for me...but it will...it has to.


I was also passed up for a job that I believed was for me. I had worked hard and trained and had been there for 5 years. It was given to someone else...someone who I know can do the job fine, but that did not make me feel any better about not getting it. My feelings were hurt and it just was no fun all around. I know there is a reason that I didn't get the job and hopefully I'll know why sometime soon.

 Even though these things have not worked out I am very thankful to God that he has helped provided for my education and provided me with a job in general. I am thankful for school and work so really I have nothing to complain about.

 5 DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS!

Christmas is SOON!

I am no fan of snow..suure if I got to sit inside all day with blankets and see it outside and not have to b cold it is great and beautiful! But driving in it?? no thank you!

One more class and then my first semester home will be finish! Since this is the first semester in 3 years that I have not been in Tennessee it has been really fast, but really sad sometimes when I miss my friends. I really do miss the people but I love being home! I love seeing my family more and friends at home! I think school is going a lot better since I have been home. All around I just think that staying home was a great decision.

I cannot believe Christmas is in 11 days and my cousins come in 9! It is the best time when my cousins are home and it's Christmas time! I love it! Then in January it is VACAY TIME!!!! I love vacation! Not going anywhere warm or tropical but a nice get away with the fam is fabulous!

Also had an interview for a promotion at work yesterday. It was a surprise interview but I felt like it went well. Please pray for this job. I love what I do and would really love getting this job.

Hope everyone enjoys this Tuesday!!!
