A real post? No way...

It's true! I mean, I'm behind on my SWDB so I'll do that at the end, but I'm going to make a REAL post!

Christmas is already over, I can't believe it. We're so blessed. I told D the other day it's amazing how faithful God is, not just in the big things, but in the little desires of our heart. I always had faith for God to do miracles (healing, restoration, etc.) but I forgot to believe in the little stuff, and He's reminded me of that this Christmas.

D and I are giving each other our presents in 19 days...That's right... Our trip to DISNEYLAND!!!
I'm beyond excited about this.
It'll be Leila's first trip ever. She's really excited. And to make it better, our friends Tadd and Cassie are going with us :) Everything for this trip totally opened up. We have a place to stay (for free!), the fact that Cassie and Tadd get to go is huge, and we get to stay for 3 days instead of 2! It's just all awesome. O.k., enough of this, lets get to the SWDB. Wow... two weeks behind. My bad!


For today
Outside my window- It's sunny again!

I am thinking- About what I need to get done today.

I am thankful for- the people who gave us Starbucks Christmas Blend, and for Kelsey giving me Disneyland Coffee. MMMMM

I am remembering- The joy and excitement of Disneyland

On my mind- I need to have more grace for Leila.

I am noticing that- Leila is crazy. Lol

Pondering these words: I'm not really sure... I'm pondering more of God's goodness.

From the learning rooms- Learning to make tutus! Thanks to Tammi!

From the kitchen- The smell of coffee and eggo waffles haha.

I am wearing- Teal leggings, my new Minnie Mouse shirt, and no shoes. Yeah, I'm classy.

I am creating- Tutus!!! As soon as I get the stuff.

I am going- to clean today hopefully, and spend some time with my girls.

I am reading- I'm going to start reading Romans again.

I am hoping- D doesn't get home super late tonight.

I am hearing- Dora the Explorer + Leila and Hailey both talking to the TV

Around the house- Little bit messy. Christmas cards are on the fridge now.

One of my favorite things- The way Leila talks, and how she talks about seeing Jesus.

A few plans for the rest of the week: Work work work, I turn 23 on Friday (woo...) and it's also my Nana's 73rd birthday, and D's grandpa's 70th birthday. Hopefully I'll be seeing my cousins this week, and hanging with my friends and D.

For today
Outside my window- It's sunny!!!! What in the world??

I am thinking- About how to make my ugly Christmas sweater even more ridiculous.

I am thankful for- Jaime giving me french pressed coffee this morning. Someone was about to die.

I am remembering- Past Christmases with my family. All the good times as kids. ♥

On my mind- My parents have been a lot lately. Probably due to the holidays.

I am noticing that- I can be creative. And I should be more often.

Pondering these words: I'm not... is that bad?

From the learning rooms- Learning how to be a better mom, if that makes sense.

From the kitchen- Not sure. We're not home right now its work time.

I am wearing- Jeans, lumberjack shirt, stinky boots.

I am creating- My ugly Christmas sweater! I'll have to post a pic when it's done.

I am going- to Pastor Rich and Lindy's house for lunch with the staff. That'll be nice!

I am reading- ...

I am hoping- We get our Christmas shopping done. We haven't done any really.

I am hearing- The construction workers talking in the next room, and buzzing music from D's earbuds.

Around the house- It is decorated! Tree is up and looking beautiful, but a section of lights are out.

One of my favorite things- Decorating for Christmas with a cup of hot chocolate, Christmas music, and my family. ♥

A few plans for the rest of the week:Today: Lunch, Youth! Thursday: Nothing Friday: Staff/Board Christmas Party, Saturday: Lords and Ladies dinner night with the youth! Sunday: Church :) then Christmas Party.

Photo of the day: We took Leila to meet the cast of Yo Gabba Gabba on Saturday, she loved it until Plex (the Robot) tried to high five her...

For today

Outside my window- Sun setting, leaves shaking, big box from our tree!

I am thinking- About getting dinner started.

I am thankful for- God being THE provider, and for my hard working husband.

I am remembering- Decorating the Christmas tree at my Grandmother's with my cousins.

On my mind- ChristmasChristmasChristmas.

I am noticing that- I need to vacuum the kitchen.

Pondering these words: I'm pondering how God is like Santa is supposed to be, but better!

From the learning rooms- Learning how to make soup tonight!

From the kitchen- Clean dishes, stuff to make Chicken Taco soup!

I am wearing- Tube top and jeans. Bare feet!

I am creating- Nothing right now.

I am going- Put lights on the tree!

I am reading- Take a wild guess...

I am hoping- D won't have to work tonight.

I am hearing- Leila saying "I want..." and asking for tons of stuff, and some Barney Christmas special on tv.

Around the house- Random baby clothes as usual.

One of my favorite things- Everything about the Christmas season!

A few plans for the rest of the week: Making soup tonight, work tomorrow, youth Wednesday, work Thursday, Christmas Production Friday, Taking Leila to see Yo Gabba Gabba at the mall on Saturday, decorating Grandma's tree on Sunday!
