Merry.

Merry Christmas friends and readers!  I absolutely love Christmas and I am so anxious to spend time with family and friends.  It is such a huge relief to be done with another semester and all I have left is student teaching!  I couldn't be more thrilled to be with some outrageous and awesome third graders in the spring.  I know it will be a great experience and opportunity to learn from a very talented teacher. 

I forgot about sleeping in, that people actually do that.  Well thank you Christmas break, I now have a renewed love for sleeping past 7 a.m.  Beautiful.

I love the movie Despicable Me, one of my favorites. ever.  "It's so fluffy, I'm gonna die!"

Christmas will be here in just a few short days, and I will get to give Brian all the presents I have had hidden since October, finally! First married Christmas, fantastic.

Most importantly, I hope that we can all reflect on the beautiful gift that we celebrate this time of year, Jesus.  Although it is impossible to comprehend God's love for us through what he did, it is absolutely incredible.  I have seen God working in the lives of so many around me and definitely in my own during the past year.  It's beautiful.
