Hello New Year

Whoa, I haven't posted in a while. Oops. Things happening recently:
~Finished the semester. 1/2 way done with my dietetic internship :)
~My BFF, Anna, is now engaged :) :)
~I'm working at the bank this week. I swore this past summer would be the last time....but I'm flat broke :(
~Hanging out with sophomore year roommate and friend, Jenna, this weekend :)
~Going to Jackson for New Year's Eve :) :) :)

Oh my gosh. I am sitting here thinking "what should I write about"...isn't that sort of defeating the purpose of having a blog?? I feel like if I have nothing to say then I should not be attempting this post at this exact moment. I guess I began writing it because I vainly thought people missed reading it.

Well, one thing I know to write about is this: sometimes I wish the whole present giving thing wasn't a part of Christmas. Not because I'm a procrastinator and wait till the last minute (I just finished my shopping today) but because it takes our minds off of what we should actually be thinking about. I know, I know. Giving is not necessarily a bad thing because of all those reasons we're reminded of when we go to church the Sunday before Christmas. But I have seen firsthand what the stress of the season does to people, and sometimes I just wish we could eliminate all of that. You know what I mean?? My family likes being together. Just the 5 of us (Good luck to whoever marries into this bunch). That's my favorite part of the holiday. This week I hope we all remember why we have this holiday in the first place...the love and grace and mercy of our Heavenly Father...and forget about all the things we need to do before Thursday night at 12 a.m.

Wow, I think I just had a bit of a Libbie moment. Not quite as good as her though.

Love and miss.
