Semi-sweet

It's that time of the year.....the countdown has begun. Not to the new year, but to Christmas vacation!!! Can I just say how disappointed I was when I realized we have school through the 22nd. Who thought that was a good idea!? It will be a bittersweet Christmas this year. It will be my first Christmas with my husby and I am super excited for that! Our tree is up and I have presents for him under the tree and in his "socking." Yes, socking. He somehow misplaced or lost, whichever you want to call it, the stocking my mom made him last year so I figured he would just have to do with one of his socks until he finds his real stocking. It does have quite an interesting shape and will be ideally suited for someone with cankles by the time Christmas comes.

On a sadder note, it will the first year in like four or five years that Evan and I will not be at Bear Trap. :( We are so sad and are even dreaming of it at night. Also, the school I work at will be closing in May for good. We have been told that no one is to be laid off, just transferred, but who knows what will really happen. I am also sad at the thought of leaving my co-workers because I have made some good connections and dearly love most of the people I work with. This is without a doubt a goo reminder that my provision and blessings come from my heavenly father and that He has new and different things in store for me. I don't want to change, but I am grateful for his peace and reminders to be open and ready for the things he is doing.
