Home for the Holidays

Well after about 9 hrs. of awaiting departure in an airport....I finally made it home! I've been in Holt since late Sunday night. It's been nice so far, I love the snow and seeing my family. I really hope I can see some of my friends before I head back to D.C. on Christmas day. After I'm back in DC I will be going on a road trip to TX to be in my friend Elizabeth's wedding. I'm excited to see her get married. Then right after that I will be in my other friend Jenn's wedding! Crazy time for me right now. I'll be going to 4 weddings in these next few months!

So far since I've been home I've done my holiday shopping, for the most part, and now onto cakes, flowers, invitations, hotels, and DJ stuff! Yikes... and I thought I was going to relax this week! Naw, I'm actually excited to get to do these things since when I'm in DC I can't do any of it. I've been thinking more and more of coming home in april to have the few weeks before the wedding to organize and finalize everything. We will see though :)

Okay enough about wedding plans...
Lately I've been hearing and reading that some people have been reading my poems/songs. That is awesome! I'm so excited, it was very flattering! Also the other night when I was riding home from the airport I did some thinking. An older lady from the flight I was on needed to get to Mason, MI wich is right down the street from where I live, but also at least 2 hours away from the airport. So I invited her to ride with us, and seeing how it was either that or stay in Detroit over night... she came with us. While we were in the car she was trying to make conversation and was really sweet but I could help my tiredness. I had been in the airport making small talk with LOTS of people (surprisingly) the WHOLE DAY!!!! (like literally 9 hours) At this point it was nearing 12am and I was zonked out. I could help but feel bad. What if I could have fought the tiredness and really talked with her... where would the conversation have gone? What would we have talked about? Maybe we would have talked about Jesus? Maybe she had never heard about him? It's kind of scary to think about how my selfish desires can sometimes take away from some perfect opportunities to share Christ with people. Well, anyway hopefully she didn't see past the smile to the tired grouchy girl on the inside.

Right now I'm also thinking about how much I miss James. He stayed at home, and I'm visiting Michigan alone this time. It's always fun to be home, but I really miss him. I hope and pray that he is having a great time at home with friends and family. I can't wait to join him on Christmas! Please pray that this time the plane actually takes off relitavely on TIME!!!! I really don't want to waste my whole Christmas!!!! Also thought I would let everyone know that James is officially done with school!!!! Yay! Here comes a BA in mass media communications!!! (Or whatever the specific title is--- the important thing is he is done! And he did it!!! YAY!) Okay that is for tonight I'm feeling very scattery...love to all! Night!
