Okay, now I feel like I can get into the holiday spirit. Dad called this morning letting me know that right now the ticket prices are pretty much the same (like a $10 difference) to either fly into Dallas, or right into my parent’s town! So this morning before school I purchased the tickets for Tim and I to get to fly to Texas for Christmas! We wont be there for Christmas day, we’ll fly out on the 26th ’cause I work on the 23rd of December. Yeah, not too happy about that, not sure whose decision that was, but I don’t think it was good planning. Anyways, Tim and I will be flying down on December 26th and staying through January 3rd. I am really excited! I will get to see my parents, sister and brother! I haven’t seen my brother in over a year, and seeing him is really the only thing I wanted this Christmas, and I’m gonna get it! Yay!!!

Tonight our youth group is doing a friendly costume party for the little kids. It’ll be from 5-8:30. It’s free to go to, and the kids will have lots of games to play to get candy, there will also be face painting and balloon making for them. I can’t wait! For Thanksgiving Tim’s brother and sister-in-law and their kids should be coming up to our house for the night. And for Christmas eve and day we still have to finalize, but I think we’ll be hanging out with Tim’s other brother and sister-in-law and their kid.

Before, while having to wait to purchase our airfare I really didn’t want to start thinking about the holidays, and when the snow came last week I didn’t welcome it at all. I think now I’ll be better if it starts snowing again soon. Yesterday and today have been gorgeous days in the upper 60s which is really nice!
