I'll Be Home for Christmas!

Yay! I'll be home in less than 24 hours : ). I am so excited. I miss my family lots and can't wait to be home. This weekend I watched : love it.  Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen.  ~Author unknown, attributed to a 7-year-old named Bobby Christmas is forever, not for just one day, for loving, sharing, giving, are not to put away like bells and lights and tinsel, in some box upon a shelf. The good you do for others is good you do yourself... ~Norman Wesley Brooks, "Let Every Day Be Christmas," 197

Brrrrrrrrr...Lately it's been cold outside. Despite the snow and the below freezing temperature I love this time of year.  Reasons I love Christmastime: ~ family ~food (cookies, hot cocoa) ~music ~sweaters ~decorations ~cheerful people ~presents ~ Most importantly people remember the Savior   Finals are here...I can't wait til they are over. 9 days until I go home!   “ I am still determined to be cheerful and happy , in whatever situation I may be; for I have also learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions , and not upon our circumstances.” - Martha Washington  "what lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us ." “ The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson    

It's beginning to look alot like Christmas...

I can't believe it's December already and that Christmas is less than 3 weeks away! One week of classes left, two weeks til finals and 18 days until I go home!  I can't wait to see my family and friends back home! It has been freezing lately, I kinda wish it would snow so it will warm up a little ! I love the Holidays and everything about them! 2009 has been a great year I'm excited to see what 2010 will bring. Here are some pics of the Mesa, AZ temple Christmas lights. It was absolutely beautiful! I have to admit, I'm a sucker for Christmas lights : )   I love Christmas!
