I still have quite a bit to do before we leave in a week and a 1/2 for vacation--end of the quarter stuff to wrap up from the classes I worked with this fall, Christmas gifts to finish up, and other random projects. One of my professors (the one I was able to preach for this morning) asked me to edit his dissertation on creative preaching before he turns it in this Friday. It's going to be quite the project, which I'm sure will occupy me all day tomorrow! My hubby was gone all afternoon today, and it was chilly and cloudy outside, so this is what my afternoon looked like inside! Christmas carols playing on the computer, hot chocolate, homemade snickerdoodle cookies, candles, and yes, a 220 page homiletics dissertation...
I didn't decorate for Christmas this year, in years past I've brought out nativities, which I love, but this year, with so little space in our apartment and since we won't be here past the 17th of December, I decided not to pull everything out of our storage unit. Megan and I joked that Mom would decorate enough for the both of us anyways :) I did decorate our coffee table, that's it. The table runner was a wedding gift from my Aunt Beth, and it hadn't been packed away in Christmas boxes so it was easily accessible. I made the Advent wreath and set out my two favorite Christmas books--The Christmas Miracle of Jonathan Toomey and The Polar Express. Happy 2nd week of Advent everyone, may you be finding quiet moments to reflect on our coming King in this next week.
