christmas is coming...

i know this is random but...it's like a week till october, so i have a bit more confidence in admitting that i'm SO EXCITED for christmas!! i can't wait to decorate around the house and my classroom and the church. it's gonna be so awesome. last year was kind of a bust because of the storm, so we're planning to go all out this year. plus, it'll be the first thanksgiving in 4 years that i'll be home for. so, i'm pretty excited. cause, i heart the holidays. woohoo for christmas!

ps - thanks to those who've been praying for my dad. he seems to be doing a little better.
