Survival

Well, I survived the last 6 weeks!

Hosted Trunk or Treat at the church-check!
Hosted Jacob's 1st Birthday at our house-check!
Went to DisneyWorld-check!
Celebrated Thanksgiving-check!
Hosted a baby shower-check!
Co-directed the children's Christmas musical-check!
Tried to keep up with day-to-day life-check???  (That is yet to be determined, lol).

FINALLY my life is going to slow down!  I'm bound and determined to have a RELAXING Christmas!  While all of these events were GREAT FUN, it was a lot for me to be in charge of this many major events in 6 weeks!  My personality just doesn't mesh well with this!

There have been a couple of times this year that I have felt like we've been RUNNING from one thing to the next.  I'm not really a fan of this kind of lifestyle... I'd be perfectly happy if I never had to leave my house!  You think I'm kidding, just try me!  And yet, I struggle with what to cut.  I mean, looking at my list above, what should I not have done?  Definitely a question to consider and pray about as we enter a new year...

And yes, I'm taking advice here:
