Since the Donhowes are here for a month, Chuck wants to learn a new spanish word everyday. Today was Te Amo. I am 99% sure everyone other than Chuck knew what that meant. All in good fun.
Today started my 5 day vacation! WOOO HOOO!! I slept in till 8 and that felt great! Although, I am tired yet again. Never ends. Jake and I played upstairs for a while and then came down to make David breakfast! It was yummy!! Omelets, hash browns, sausages and biscuits! I love days off!!
I finished "The Christmas Sweater" today at nap time! My goodness. If they ever make a movie out of this book, I need to remember to have a box of tissues next to me. Wow. I know people look at it as just another "Christmas Carol" like book. It's deeper than that for me. This actually gets into Family, God and the real reason behind Christmas. It talks about bracing and facing the storms that come your way. Not running away from them or trying to ignore them. It shows that no one is perfect. One thing I really got out of it was, You are your own keeper of your own happiness. You wake up and make the choice of your mood. You do things either with a joyful or hateful heart. You treat people in the way you suppose to or not. You make the decisions that mold your life. No one else. I could go on. It was just a good book for the season! It might have to be a new yearly tradition in the Janzen house!
Only 2 more days till Christmas!! I am so excited!! I don't care about the gifts or any of that jazz. I am so just grateful to have an amazing family, fantastic friends in my life, a wonderful extended family and a sovereign God!
