Something Old, Something New

But nothing borrowed or blue…

Highlights of the last couple of weeks in no particular order:

*Finishing my first fall semester at Covenant Seminary and NOT CARING what my grades are. Really.
*Christmas dinner with our friends Ed & Marcie
*Completing four sets of footed fleece jammies for my girls along with four sets of matching fleece jammies for their Bitty Babies just in time for Christmas Eve
*Going to church on Christmas morning (I loved this so much it made me wish Christmas was on Sunday every year)
*Filling the refrigerator door with brand new Christmas card pictures
*Realizing we’ve completed more schooling hours than I thought – we are right on track for where I want us to be
*Time at the farm with Craig’s family (and bowling!)
*Time with my family in the Kansas City area (and playing Apples to Apples – pretty fun)
*Seeing all our new books for the Spring semester begin to arrive (It’s sort of like Christmas every day)

Goals for the next few days:
*Making curtains to hang over the girls’ closet (I removed the doors from all the bedroom closets in the apartment to make more room. Now I want a pretty way to cover what is inside. I’ve been intending to do this very thing at this very time all semester long)
*Make a window treatment for the living room window (Same as above)
*Complete all the sewing repairs I agreed to do for other folks around campus
*Finish a book. Any book.
*Make a new schedule for the Spring semester
*Actually do school work with the girls again next week before taking another week off for my J-term class
*Attend the J-term class, Film & Theology with Denis Haack from January 9-13
*Grocery shop sometime SOON
*Enjoy the remaining days before things pick back up again.

Whew!
