IT'S COMING!!!! Oh, it just came...

The Christmas season is definitely here!
It's freezing cold (yes, litterally), I'm seeing more and more Christmas lights coming on every night, and holiday songs are playing on the radio. I love it :-)
It's such a joyous season. And what reason is there for it not to be? Hey, it's Jesus's birthday- now that, I must say is something worth celebrating. It's no wonder there is so much joy in the air this season!
We just put up our tree 'n stuff this past weekend. How fun! I just love decorating, especially for Christmas :-) Our house looks so pretty around the holiday season... I shouold post some pictures some time. We'll see if I actually get around to it. I've got so much to do and so little time each day to do it in, it seems. I have two books going, one for fun and one for School and I'm only half way through both of them. The one for school I'd better finish up soon though because the questions that go with it that I need to answer are due on the 6th! Then there's all the other stuff... Ultimate Frisbee, youth group, volunteering at the library, getting Christmas cards made and sent, chores, guitar practice. Plus there is a ton of stuff that I keep meaning to do. Like I need to finish putting my Camp Hope photos onto Picasa for Lucy...I started on that last week and then somehow I got destracted and didn't finish... Don't worry Lucy, they're coming soon- I promise! I'm hoping to do that some time today.
This weekend they're doing the Christmas parade...It's gonna be COLD! The weather forecast says lows from 14 to 11 degrees! Stalk up on the blankets and cocoa, I guess. I'm hopfully going to be bringing my friend Kitana along, so maybe when candy isn't being flung at us, we can huddle together to keep warm. Also some other fun activites are coming in the near future - a free hour long jet boat ride up the river after dark to see all the Christmas lights from both sides of the river. My mom, brother, and I went last year and it was so much fun! The other one is the home school Christmas parties. The Teens are going to go bowling this year again. That'll be great. I had so much fun doing that last year. And on the 15th my youth group is going up to Spokane to see a Stellar Kart concert. They're a Christian rock band which I like. Turns out that I'm the only girl who's going to the concert though...all the other ones are going shopping in the big mall there while me and the guys go to the concert. I was kind of suprised none of them wanted to go to the concert, but oh well. It's not the first time I've been the only girl in a group. I guess that day I'll get a taste of how it was for Tim the one night where he was the only boy in a room full of girls at youth group once. lol. Man, I felt bad for him that time...stuck in a room full of crazy giggling girls with no other guys to talk to!
I suppose that I should stop typing here and go work on the other things that I've been meaning to get done. Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!
