So if you're like me, most of you are back at work or school. I hope your holiday's were as wonderful and relaxing as mine. Here's a few things that happened over my holiday...
--My family volunteered on Christmas day downtown Harrisburg at a soup kitchen. When I asked the men & women who came through the line how they were doing many responded by saying, "I'm blessed". It blew my mind and touched my heart.
--I got to spend lots of time with my better half. ice skating. talking. shopping. and mostly, laughing. Tine, I am reminded how lucky I am God has given me a second chance. I cannot imagine my life without you. Your presense alone brings me joy. I'm so proud of the woman you've become and continue to grow into being. Love you.
--said goodbye to a friend. for good. you'll forever be a part of me.
i cannot wait to love like that again someday.
--I was reunited with a dear friend who returned home from having served in Afghanistan. As I listened to him tell stories of fallen comrades, tears rolled down his cheeks and my heart was full of gratitude.
To those who have served and are currently serving in the U.S military and to the friends and family members who have ever had to spend a Christmas alone because your loved one was protecting our freedom, I sincerely thank you. You are all heros.
--i turned 21. 'nuff said.
--i went to the dentist, doctors & gman.
got a cavity filled, blood drawn, and found out i can have babies. woo!
--ate cookies, drank some vino, and laughed. a lot.
--worked out almost every day. sometimes twice a day.
--worked hard. partied harder. now i have the flu.
i've spent the last three days with a fever in the 100's, a runny nose, and a horrible cough. i guess that's what i get for refusing to get the flu shot. but, there is no time to waste. there are things to be done, people to see, standard deviations to be calculated. (i'm taking a statistic's course for the month of january).
thankful for a wonderful break. and possibly the best break ever.
for now.
