December Craze

This month has been crazy! Finals are finally over. I had fun with some of them. My linguistics project was fun and I got an excellent grade on it, so all the work and sleepless nights were worth it. The editing one wasn't too bad; it just took me a long time! There's only one class I don't know how I did.

We finally sent out the Christmas packages to our families. Kara took me shopping for Justin, and I had a really fun time picking out his presents. I hope he likes them. While shopping, I also found a star to finally put on our tree. It was only five dollars and it lights up. The only trick is to clip it on just right or it flops over. Justin figured it out.

We cleaned the apartment yesterday and it looks great (it won't feel great until tomorrow when I vacuum). Basically we've been bumming around and watching movies. Friday we took Melanie to the airport, and since we were already up north we made some other stops. Justin checked out a golf store and we looked through IKEA. I got some great ideas for future house decorating.

Today we went to church. Justin could only stay for sacrament meeting (the first hour) because he has to work today. But it was nice to have him there. He's been working a lot of Sundays because of the holidays. I can't wait until it's all over and we can go to church together and he won't have to work really early or really late. Anyway, the meeting was ok. Not the best Christmas program, but it seemed like plans changed last minute. This elderly couple took turns sharing scriptures and Christmas stories and we sang Christmas hymns. Sunday school was all about Christmas too. Relief Society was kinda random (a talk from General Conference) but we ended early so we sang more Christmas hymns. Later tonight I plan on relaxing with Justin, maybe watch some religious Christmas movies. Last Sunday we watched Mr. Kreuger's Christmas.

Justin will be home soon (three hours is soon!). Dinner will be ready and we can finally enjoy each other's company on this beautiful Sabbath day.
