SNOW!

ok, so this year more than ever i want a white christmas. its probably due to the fact that we've been getting a lot of snow early this season. yesterday though when the ground was brown and muddy i was getting sad, but this morning i woke up to a nice blanket of white! that makes me very happy. and more snow is predicted so there is a good chance for a white christmas this year thats not just a dusting of white. there had to have been 4 inches at my house this morning and thankfully my dad cleaned my car off for me so that i could get to work on time. :) i have such a great dad! and actually today is his birthday! we celebrated last night though.

well, half way thru my last week of work before a christmas break. i'm getting very excited for christmas!! i can't explain what is different for me this year, but there is a definite joy in my heart this season. actually, ever since a conversation with an old friend i have seemed to have a bit more joy in my heart. i've been trying hard to appreciate every day and each moment in it, and to let God's joy be in my heart. i think thats part of this change in my spirit that i've been feeling. i don't know, but there's no better time than christmas to be joyful and to allow the beauty of the snow and this season to fill my heart.

there really is no place like home for the holidays and this year i am thankful again to be able to be with my family.

new post.

ok. i suppose its time for a new post of some kind. its friday afternoon and i have about a half hour left of work. i'm happy for the weekend.

this week at work i finalized the copy for our new summer camp brochure. its a bit different than what the camp is used to, but yet, not a total stray from last year. i can't wait to really get into creating different flyers and such for camp. with the help of Liz i was able to start finding some really cool stuff for photoshop that will be quite essential to these new designs.

only one week of work left before christmas break. that is exciting. i'm really looking forward to christmas this year. i'm sure all of the snow we have gotten is playing into that. i'm hoping it sticks around until christmas, so that this year it can look a bit more like i remeber.

this will be my third christmas at home. the time has gone very fast. and right now i'm happy to be home. i still feel the need for a new adventure, but that is being fed by short trips to chicago. i miss the beach, though. one day i will visit the ocean again! i suppose its in my blood now. haha.

today i've been listening to comp cd's that i made a few years back. its funny to hear what i put on some of them. they definitely follow my moods though. i wonder if i could learn anything about myself from looking at my favorite songs and comparing them to where i was in life at the time... that may be interesting to do someday, but not today. its almost time to leave for the weekend and i've got a scarf to knit!
