joy.

i knew it would happen eventually. i haven't been home here for more than an hour for over 6 days, and my body is sick from exhaustion. thank God for this being such a slow day! i am resigning myself to my bed for the entire day. :)

i am so thankful it didn't snow more; it's been a very pretty snow lately; big flakes and not too much wind, but i am thankful i don't have to scrape my car off today ~ such great little things like that!

so much bad stuff has been happening lately, but i am choosing joy. i've gotta gotta gotta choose joy. mom & dad taught and modeled that for 20 years, and i have a man by my side who is constantly choosing joy as well ~ i knew it'd rub off on me sooner or later.

by the way, andrea & i made the fabulous "superbowl" last night. mashed potatoes+cream of mushroom soup+green beans, broccoli, corn, and mushrooms = fabulous. at first, andrea was like, "this is like the KFC superbowl." aaron retorted: "um, there's nothing on the menu at KFC called the superbowl." and now we have named our dish the superbowl. mmm.

2 days till valentine's weekend! i asked adam if we could turn the holiday into a weekend celebration so i could give him a present everyday instead of all at one time (it's always more fun with the waiting game and everything). and i planned out a few events, and i'm so excited! valentine's day was fun when i didn't have him ~ my friends & i made it fun; but geez, adam is like the cherry on top.

...and it's almost winter break ~ starting tomorrow at noon! :) hooooraaay!
