Fun Friday #2

Well Fun Friday #2 has crept up on me and left me with some friday "to do" list instead of friday "fun" list.

The "To Do" list went a little like this:

Work for a couple hours 

Finish cleaning out my room

Wrap Christmas presents

Run errands

Well have about 3 hours at work and 2 hours home/apartment looking, my room is still not cleaned out or organized and I have no presents wrapped. My room not being organized is driving me crazy!!!! I am tempted to stay up tonight and finish just to save me the stress of having a messy room all weekend. My errand running is halfway completed...I just need to find an ugly Christmas sweater (or make one) and get some secret santa gifts. So its 10pm and I realize that most of my "To Do" list didn't really get finished and my friday wasn't as "fun" as it could have been but I did get to see an awesome Christmas play tonight.

Saddleback Church put on a play called "The Gift" this week and tonight I got to experience it. There was incredible dancing, beautiful singing and a joyful message of hope, peace and love. The audience was told the Christmas story in a fun and light way which I have to admit brought tears to my eyes (i'm not normally a big crier). I loved every minute of it and was in awe of the talent we have at Saddleback. God has blessed us immensely!

Welp that wraps up friday...a little boring...but i'll be honest I LOVED today! Maybe because organizing and cleaning are my gifts, or maybe because I was reminded just how incredible the story of Christmas is...whatever the reason today was a "fun friday" after all =)

Monday Mayham

Mondays are officially Monday Mayham which means mondays I will be posting some randomness...maybe a picture or two...maybe a favorite song...maybe some life stories...who knows what will show up =)

Today is a picture. This one is me and my little sister on our summer vacation to Palm Springs. Sometimes my mom makes us take pictures with the randomest items...this one however was all our doing and concluded with a water fight. 

Fun Friday

It's been a while since I've sat down to share my life journey, so here's the update:

November I went to see my sister at Sonoma State (see last post). It was an incredible trip filled with laughs, new adventures, sleeping on deflated air mattresses, and of course some happy tears. I loved every minute of this trip...and I'm a little bummed that it was my last trip up there. Danyale graduates in just 2 weeks so i'll never have a reason to go "live the college life" for a weekend =(

Thanksgiving left me pondering life and just how incredibly lucky I am. I know thats a phrase I say often but this Thanksgiving season truly revealed to me some incredible things to be thankful for. It really hit me that God CALLS us to be thankful in all things. He doesn't just suggest it, or say maybe you should be thankful he CALLS, or should I say demands that if we are followers of Christ we are to be thankful. So I spent a lot of time th past couple of weeks observing my surroundings and the little things I can be thankful for besides my friends, family, and a great job.

Now on to the fun stuff. I have officially assigned fridays to be FUN FRIDAYS!!! Today I enjoyed a day off by heading to Mt High (the local ski resort) with some friends for a couple hours of snowboarding. It was exercise, and it was incredible! I think there are weeks that I forget to take time to just have some fun. So Fridays will be my "Fun" days. If you have any suggestions on activities for me to do...give me a holler =)
