"I'm Back...to Blogging!"

Sorry about the lack of blogging; I’ve either been off or had family in town. Since these are both such rare commodities, I’ve chosen to treasure those moments and the blog seems to fall to the wayside, but I’m back and ready to crank it into 4th. A little recap: the rest of the family headed home Thanksgiving Day. I had to work that night so I headed back to the apartment to get ready. After a long night of double parades, I got up “early” the next morning to head to Seffner, a small little town about an hour away. This is where my grandma and grandpa spend their winter. Since, they just got down here last week, I thought I’d crash the party and spend a few days with them.
We had a great time! Since it is now officially Christmas time, Mamaw and I headed to Blockbuster to pick out a few Christmas movies. On Saturday, Papaw and I headed to Barnes and Noble to let me catch up on some homework. He spent the entire time reading a World War 2 book. He loved it! Sunday I went to church, which was wonderful! I got to see a few of my friends from the good ol’ First Free Will Baptist Church there. Oh rekindling old relationships can be so incredibly awkward.
This morning, I got up and headed home around 1 because I had to be into work by 5. Everything went great tonight at work, despite a few minor wardrobe malfunctions. Since I’m really trying to focus on being positive, I choose to look at them as a good thing, they help me to grow while under pressure, kind of like improving during a musical. Other than that though things went really well. I stowed away in the costuming van and we all sang Whitney Houston on the way up to the Parade Center. ‘Tis the season.
After work, Jessica and I headed to Wal-Mart to do a little grocery shopping, which turned into, “let’s grab dinner,” which became a movie fest, and some how or another we ended up the night with Megan in point ballet shoes (which is far more difficult than it looks!).
I started this wonderful book today (granted I’m only through the introduction and half the first chapter but whatever); it’s called “Forgotten God” by Francis Chan (thank you Tommy for the recommendation). It’s all about the Holy Spirit. I don’t want to spoil anything so I suggest checking it out. We can read it together, friend.
One more thing, if you could all remember my friend Cody. He just found out that he’s going to be shipped out to Iraq at the beginning of January. I really haven’t had a chance to talk with him so I’m not sure how he’s feeling about the whole thing, but ya know, safety is always something good to be praying for.
