So it is now past thanksgiving. Boy, it was good to see my family again! And playing in the snow wasn't so bad either... ;) We Californians are so deprived... As for being stressed, I am definitely not as stressed out as I was. College stuff is a little tough still, but God has really given me peace about it. Thank God for His never ending mercies and love! Now onto the new stuff.
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good morning! (I really want to open my stocking, but not everyone is up yet... :( sadness!)
Wow. I cannot believe how blessed I have been this past year! Going through the year, it pretty much stunk. But as I look back on it, I see how much God has strengthened me and helped me to grow as a person... I have a family that is all together, a roof over our heads, plenty of food to eat, and even gifts under the tree! I may not understand why God puts us through trials that seem to never have an end, but I am determined to trust in Him and know that He knows what He is doing and that it is for the best for my family.
So, I got that job that I talked about in my last post. I am now officially an In-N-Out associate! I've been working there for about three weeks now and I love it. Though my perfectionist side does come out more often than not. But I have learned to put that aside and trust in myself. I can do a lot more than I think I am capable of! And having this job just proves my success. I am certainly far from perfect and still make mistakes, (like forgetting to clock in yesterday) but with the help of God and my other associates, I make it out okay. I am loving how much I am learning and it is such an encouragement seeing the improvement each time as I get more comfortable with myself and my surroundings.
Yesterday was Christmas Eve. (Obviously if today is Christmas) It was a great day! I went to work, got sent home 30 minutes later, watched movies with my family, and then ate a great dinner made by the lovely Stephanie! I then proceeded to be very hyper with Jo, text my very very good friend until around 2:30 in the morning while nodding off every once in a while (but always with the biggest smile on my face), and then finally falling asleep. In my opinion, it was the best Christmas eve ever. I was compared to a Saint Bernard, talked in rhymes, and was thoroughly happy.
Today we are going to open our stockings, eat a breakfast feast as a family, go to church, come home and open our gifts, watch It's A Wonderful Life, and then have another feast! But this time its dinner, not breakfast. What is on the menu you ask? Well I shall tell you... For breakfast we will be dining on chocolate chip muffin tops, cinnamon rolls, egg casserole, and other goodies which I can not remember. For dinner we shall be consuming ham, sausage, sweet potato casserole, cranberry sauce, rolls, and green beans. (Are you drooling yet?) I haven't even gotten to dessert. Boy. Today is going to be a great day. :) So, that was a pretty lame post, but it is all I have for now. So now I will go take advantage of this day I have to spend with my family. Merry Christmas!
